Farm house exterior colour scheme - colorbond cladding
Comments (62)apennameandthata i don't know... vertical is more shed like style, while we still have a colonial style base and veranda. Dust will be an issue here (although its not so bad in that particular spot on a river, good protection from trees) but pressure wash will be regular practice anyway. Thanks for all your suggestions and I will take all on board, especially sandstone ideas. I don't this I want this house to look pretentious, but how can I describe that, I am after some subtle "wow" factor or something a bit different, but it must look like we knew what we are doing and YES, I want it to look like high quality build and not a transportable house or kit home. The house rectangle is so simple that I worry it may have that boring factor in its looks and that is why I am looking for some ideas. My problem is a tendency to overthink but I hope I will find a balance at some point :) At this stage I think: galvanised tin everywhere (or that zincalum), rusty steel posts, aluminum windows with timber look, sandstone features around main door and sandstone chimney. We had a big flood last year and the spot never goes under water, its on high grounds even though it is only meters from the river....See MoreExteriors that work with Red Colourbond Roof and Gutters

Comments (23)Yep, when we painted our house I went round in circles. Then the paint shops suggested we go look at a house that he new the colours of. We did and went with that. Internally several years earlier I had a colour consultant in and we adopted her colour schemes for the lounge and master bedroom,. I wasn’t happy with the suggestion for the master but went with it, and hated it from the start till I eventually repainted, she hadn’t listed to me. I was happy with the other room though. Get your sample pots and make sure you do 2 or 3 coats to get tru colour. It’s still a lottery sadly....See MoreEXTERIOR COLOUR SCHEME WITH SHALE GREY ROOF
Comments (9)Thanks Deborah. I can see the colours much better now. So my first thoughts are that if you don't wish to highlight the windows too much then you don't want too dark a shade for the homes wall exterior as the darker the wall paint colour then the more the windows will stand out. The shale grey roof is more on the blue tone side of the colour spectrum and the windows are more on the warm side, but only slightly. So to tie everything together I would recommend a warm beige/grey like Dulux Limed White, Ghosting or Powered Rock....See MoreHills Gardener
