What colour should we paint our house?
Comments (20)Hi Erin Both look like they will work. I think your challenge will be to bring some depth to the front of the house . With the colour being uniform its quite flat, so I would suggest adding some awnings to the front windows. These could also be a nice feature on the front of the house adding your personality. http://www.icietla.com.au in Brisbane sell some beautiful stripes. The other option was to have a base and top scheme that helped the building look a little lighter. A great transformation which ever way you go....See MorePaint Color Advise
Comments (15)We just did a similar thing in our house. We had the orangeish timber skirting, doors and architraves. The walls were a very light beige. All the timber we painted white (dulux lexicon quarter), and went with a lovely grey on the walls (Taubmans zurich white). I was very happy with the white trim, I thnk if we had left it the house would still look dated. I've attached some before and after (sorry for low quality and different angles, they were just quick snaps with my phone)....See MoreNeed help with colours
Comments (27)I notice you have an aluminium screen door. Are the window frames aluminium as well? If so, you can re-paint them using a bonding substance called ESP. This is a link to Bunnings spray version but it also comes in a liquid you can wipe on and off: https://www.bunnings.com.au/flood-300g-esp-surface-prep-spray_p1560212 It's pretty easy once you get used to removing the screen and re-installing it (makes overpainting go away). It means that the paint won't chip off if someone knocks it which usually happens with aluminium and some other surfaces. Answering your questions, if you make the entrance lighter you may not need to make the walls either side lighter. I like dark - it is very dramatic and not as common. If you start with the entrance you can stand back and look at how it goes with the other walls. Also remember they don't all have to be the same. Variation in colour and texture adds interest, just make sure it doesn't look too busy and all the surfaces blend (not necessarily match). Your back wall is plain and straight, so regardless of the colour you end up choosing it will need to be augmented with something. You could try a large mirror on the blank space between windows. Something with a chunky frame in a contrasting colour and you will have a reflection of the greenery opposite. You could also try a reclaimed timber feature or something rusty or possibly a small timber pergola over the back door (similar colour to the window frames) that will give some depth. It's only paint, so try using patches with sample pots before you put too much effort into painting all the walls. Good luck....See MoreRoof colour dilemma!
Comments (5)Thanks swich5 - I don't want a domestic either (and I liked the dark colour too so I'm just rolling with it! If it is hot in the summer I'm hopeful it will make it warmer in winter...?) BTW, a friend of ours has used Surfmist Colourbond for her roof and as a feature on the sides of her house and it doesn't look coloured or creamy - comes out very neutral, more a very pale, weathered galvanised iron sort of grey, and might work well for your roof. Good luck!...See Moresmellymel222
