Exterior colour suggestions?
Comments (15)Claire, it will be amazing with a bit of TLC and elbow grease. I like both your colour choices too. I thought I'd found another suitable one, but funniky enough it's the same as yours take from a different angle. Wuff, your before and afters are very inspirational. An amazing transformation. It's hard to believe it's the same garden too....See MoreExterior colour suggestions please
Comments (5)Just remember to factor in it will most likely be made of asbestos sheeting inside and out. This is great if undisturbed as it is hard wearing and fire resistant. Any Reno’s need to get the experts to remove the asbestos sheets....See MoreExterior colour scheme suggestions
Comments (4)Whilst dark is trendy now , and to a certain degree is taking over from grey , it is hot in summer , but also i think you risk the house looking too 'negative' -- plus in 5 years when you are sick of it , its harder to paint over . The green and beige were 80's , and does look dated , but the green in particular does suit the site . One option would be quite a crisp white , and slightly greener green trim -- more modern and cleaner looking , but its been done lots too . Something a bit more radical would be a greeny grey ( sort of a greenish tinged muddy khaki ) with white trim -- that satisfies the darker look , the green , the grey , and the cleaner white for contrast -- hard to get it exaactly right , so probably a few test pots needed . The other 'lazy' option would be to keep the beige , but do all the trim in a bright sunshine yellow -- it wouldn't be too overpowering IMO with only the trim in yellow , the beige would compliment it but also tone thge yellow back , but it would modern everything too . Confused you more ?...See MoreExterior Paint Colour Suggestions Wanted For Windows, Verandah etc
Comments (12)The bricks , and the roof , are 'livable' IMO , both are that certain era , but they are pleasant -- like everyone else , the mouse turd must go though . Ooops , maybe its mustard haha . I'd do the window frames and gutters in a charcoal like Monument , or a crisp white -- a bit mysterious , or a clean look , but either will 'sharpen' the lines if that makes sense -- its a bit wishy washy right now . Oh , and the fence that is visible in the pics , and any other similar ones -- again , a charcoal stain . It also references the flecks in the bricks . The garage doors I'd probably go a 'metallic' charcoal . The railings I wonder if they are up to code , but anyway , if they are staying , do them and all the under-eves in a crisp white . So your main colours are now red , charcoal , white , and the greyer roof tone ( but not in equal proportions , so it won't look 'striped' ) . Which still leaves the majority of the mustard -- just go Surfmist or similar off-white with a blue tinge -- keep it closer to a white IMO . That Toffee Fingers is nice in itself , but not only do I feel it doesn't gel , it also introduces another colour group , whereas to me white and surfmist are 1 group , charcoal and the roof another similar grouping , while the brick is the primary thing you see , but it all works together ....See MoreDevillan
