Facade Assistance Please
Hi Everyone,
We are just in the process of picking colours for our facade and are really struggling to decide. Can anyone with a 'nack' offer some assistance?
The brick will be rendered but unsure of colour
The windows are are black aluminium, already installed
The extension is HardieTex and looks like a render finish (texture paint)
The existing roof is tile and the extension trimdek, unsure of colors
Was thinking timber cladding for the door with a black/white facade and timber entrance?
Thank you

Comments (4)I found a website that might be quite helpful for you http://www.colourtouch.com.au/ to visualise what colours and finishes could look like on your house. You can choose a style of house that closely matches yours then choose a number of set schemes, or start with a blank canvas and play around with any colour / finish you like....See MorePLEASE HELP: need to pick the colours for my facade!
Comments (24)Hi Tyrone_Topsecret. I think the dark at top with the light colour under works very well - let's the upper floor disengage and float above everything, which makes it so stunning. Your render picture shows a texture effect on the matrix which is nice - if you go for a solid colour there that'll appear very different to what you see at the moment - would still work of course, but I'd probably try and do a 'marble' texture effect like that (if within budget). If it was me, I would blend the bessa in with the render colour at the bottom, so either paint the blocks to match the render, or why don't you do it the other way around and match the render colour to the natural block colour? That could work well. I don't know the Resene colour you mention, attached is a picture with a Monument colorbond roof, and the little link building we've done in a Dulux colour matched to Monument - so it works quite well as a contrast without being too stark against an (off-)white. I wouldn't go the night sky, it is quite stark (and cold) as a colour, where as with a softer/warmer dark grey it all becomes more harmonious. Not sure about the garage door : You are currently drawing attention to it by matching it to the colour of the upstairs - I would recommend to try and guide the view to upstairs instead, and therefore blend the garage door in with the surrounding surfaces. So Bessa natural, render to match, garage door in a warm white, and then the dark grey upstairs - will be a stunner :-) Good Luck !...See More80s facade update ideas please!
Comments (46)Jessica Craig, I thought you might like to know this. When my daughter was a baby and I took her for swimming lessons, I met another wonderful Mum Wendy and her daughter, Sophie. Sophie's father had recently passed away and so Wendy was trying to adjust to the hand that fate had dealt her. They had not long purchased their house too. We have remained very close all these years and I can report that both Soph and Wendy are a force to be reckoned with. Sophie (now 15) is a talented singer, is doing well at school and has oodles of personality. Wendy is studying online and working towards fulfilling her dream of one day writing a children's book. The house has been renovated and is a very warm and welcoming home. It has not always been an easy road as single mum for Wendy, but it continues to get richer as the years move by. I hope that in some of your harder moments, this may bring some small level of comfort to you....See Moreplease help me decide on roof tiles or colourbond for this facade!

Thx

2 years agoHave you thought of a dark render with your monument roof and it looks fabulous with timber cladding, could be a showstopper

2 years agoSounds like you have a plan, have you seen the new cladding, you could add either inside or out just for another point of interest to your lovely house, we have a dark house, Dulux Raku , looks fab.

2 years agoHi Johnno,
Have a look at Deco Australia , there are a lot of places that sell them, check EBay , type in timber battens, a very modern and beautiful addition to the house, even lining a porch roof or as a feature inside. Great in kitchens also
