Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Oct 18, 2016 3:38 pm My first post, albeit it being about paint! Forgive me. Selecting a paint colour is quite the opposite of exciting - it's quite tedious, confusing and annoying! So I need your help.. Our property is one of those inner-west homes, north-facing, narrow hallway, 2-3 bedrooms, long in nature. Please let me know if I'm on the right track: -Areas with a lot of sunlight, to be painted a cooler white. -Side skirts to be more white than the walls (for contrast) and ceilings a different shade of white. -Rooms not well-lit are to have a warmer white I'm going with Dulux, so any recommendations (colours, brands) would be great. Regarding the external paint for render, I think I want to settle for a light grey / beige colour. Any ideas / combination of colours? I was thinking a light-grey with white window frames. Also, I like that European beige/standstone look too but not sure how it will look on our home. Also, are you to select a colour 3 or 4 shades darker than what you select because the sunlight will make it lighter? Smaller houses prefer lighter colours? Thanks!

I think she also has her own thread where she answers questions like these. Try searching for colour advice. Good luck!

No worries. Let me know how you go. Struggling with choosing exterior paint colours myself so no doubt will be doing the same shortly! Re: Urgent Help with Paint Colours! 6Oct 21, 2016 7:31 pm Nice. I like a dark roof with a light exterior as well, just cooler in colour, greys and whites instead of beige/creams. Depends what look you are going for I guess. I'm leaning towards a more coastal look Re: Urgent Help with Paint Colours! 8Mar 19, 2017 11:48 am There is another thread here about the colour 'Hogs Bristle' and it seems to work on exterior. Not quite modern and not quite old fashioned. I know it sounds awful but the colour really works. Hope this helps. Re: Urgent Help with Paint Colours! 9May 04, 2017 11:43 pm Hello!
