Dulux Exterior Render Colour - HELP NEEDED!!!
Comments (35)hahaha tribbletrouble...U kill me :)) No charge - every week they have a free consultant at my local dulux paint shop :) Question - Do you think Surfmist matches with Colorbond Dune ?...See MoreHelp! Need to paint render, but what color?
Comments (12)Go grey as advised above, don't paint window frames if they are metal but leave alone, plant sasanqua camelias along the side boundaries (they can be hedged) to screen out neighbours & add greenery plus colour, landscape the front. Don't do white stones as they look dirty after a while and are blinding in the sun. I'd get rid of the stones altogether. If you are a gardener, put in box hedging and some standard roses (yes, I know done to death but they are charming), or draw up something on paper first - play with shapes. A garden makes a house look good....See MoreHelp me choose a render / bagged colour
Comments (5)I love the timber, it’s look good and is nicely done. What is planned for the rest of the house and the windows? . I don’t like the render. Luckily most of it will be covered around the base of the house when the garden grows....See MoreNew build full render front facade colours - help please!
Comments (6)Imagine that -- a grey on grey house looking boring haha ! Without being too critical , it looks like a 1950's rendered house plonked on a block base that has been painted grey or charcoal . Just my opinion , but the upstairs looks too uniform , with all the windows the same . They don't really match that downstairs 'horizontal' window , but it will sort of work , assuming the window frames/trims all match ( same profile , colour , etc ) but if its not too late , I'd seriously consider making the middle of the 3 'front' upstairs windows quite a bit larger , maybe 100mm wider each side , maybe also 100mm shorter but keep all 3 windows top aligned ? Then I'd do the upstairs render in an off-white , something along the line of surfmist , as it has a bluish tinge , which will tie in with the grey , but it isn't grey . The garage door/front door combo in wood is always my favourite , and I know those pics are just designs , but add a more interesting front door -- definitely don't just carry the horizontal wood of the garage door through . Go with the same wood/stain , but have maybe 3 off-centre little square windows ( to sort of reference the other 'groups of 3 ) , or glass ( non-opening ) up one side , with a narrower door , as it looks quite wide . Downstairs colour you can go with the mid-grey and charcoal , although I'd love the 'column' done in a stacked stone -- a schist or similar -- even if it was only the bottom 800mm or so -- although the stone works best with lighter colours , so maybe you'd 'have to' do the coluns in your mid grey , the rest downstairs in the lighter grey , upstairs in the even lighter off-white -- combined with the stone , and the cedar or similar doors , its going to look at least $50k more , for $20k or less ( depending on how far along you have gotten obviously ) . Use colour , but also imaginative window placement etc , to add interest -- others may disagree , but I don't think that will make your place look too unusual or specialised ( harder to resell , because we all do at some stage ) , and will look cvlassier , more interesting . Of course , budgets and banks may not allow that , and/or you may screw your nose up , but thats my take ....See MoreKate
