Browse Forums General Discussion 1 Aug 08, 2014 7:13 pm Hi, Just looking for suggestions - we are having our house painted next week. Its weatherboard (chamferboard) and currently white (I will attempt to attach image). The work we've done since this photo has included replacing stairs and handrail with hardwood timber and steel wire balustrade and we've also built a timber picket fence on top of the brick retaining wall. We have also removed the privacy screen on the front room. We like grey with white trim (windows, posts etc) but considering the terracotta tile roof, we would like to go something between a beige and grey for the weatherboard. We like some of the following from Dulux : oyster linen, beige royal, linseed with any type of white trim. What are your thoughts? Also thinking we will paint the fence white with the brick in the same colour as the weatherboard. And not sure about the garage door... Thoughts on whether we should keep the timber handrail etc in a timber stain or paint white would also be welcome! Look forward to hearing your suggestions! http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/libby ... t=3&page=1 Re: Exterior paint colour suggestions 3Aug 09, 2014 7:03 pm Well I was hoping to get some input! But anyway, we're leaning towards Dulux beige royal for the weatherboard, colorbone dune for the guttering (as well as for the brick retaining wall) and perhaps the window sill and white for the windows and garage door (to match picket fence). Not sure whether to go a stark white (like vivid white) or something a bit creamier. Dare I ask....any suggestions?? Re: Exterior paint colour suggestions 4Aug 24, 2014 9:46 pm Google your chosen main colour,then you,ll get plenty of matching trim colour ideas,can try double strengths also,we chose our render hog bristle in double strength this way,we did a dozen samples with different trims and moved them around where we wanted them,you,ll get professional opinions also by googling Re: Exterior paint colour suggestions 5Oct 14, 2014 7:45 pm Hi libos04 I have just stumbled on your post when searching 'beige royal'. Did you end up going with the beige royal and colorbond dune paint colours? I have chosen these for our render and weatherboard but starting to worry that they are too similar. We are using Surfmist for garage, roof and gutters. If you have any photos I'd love to see them! Thanks in advance Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7158 Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR. Please see the attached current floorplan.
