Browse Forums Finishing Touch 1 Nov 08, 2010 1:16 pm Hi there So we're building our first house... we've chosen all colours but I'd really like other's opinions.. it's not my first choice but something hubby and I agreed on We have a mixture of exposed brick and render. Roof tiles: Monier Horizon 'Barramundi' http://www.monier.com.au/Tiles/Show_5.aspx Window frames, garage door: CB 'Woodland Grey' Bricks: Boral, Aspire 'Vanilla' http://www.boral.com.au/brochures/ordering/PDF/1B02_05195_NSWBricksBrochure_1010.pdf?company=Bricks%20and%20Blocks Render: CB Paperbark Do you think this selection will look good together? Thanks Building our family home in Casey ACT ~ My thread: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=40898&p=612238#p612238 Sept 10 - slab poured Oct 10 - frame up, bricks up 5-7 Nov 10 - roof tiles on, foam cladding on, bath in 9 Nov 10 - doors/handles going in! Re: Colour combination - opinions please? 2Nov 08, 2010 1:32 pm I think your colours are ok, but I would have a darker render due to the light bricks. Just my opinion though. I love the colour of your bricks. A balanced diet is chocolate in both hands.

Just my opinion though. I love the colour of your bricks. Thanks Kaytee - funnily enough we did have a dark render picked out - something similar to CB Bushland. Builder suggested we go lighter though as the way the render is it could look 'patchy'. I'll try to attach a pic of the elevation.

Re: Colour combination - opinions please? 4Nov 08, 2010 2:13 pm I think it would look nice. Maybe a darker feature render on portico or something (depending on your plan)?

Re: Colour combination - opinions please? 7Nov 15, 2010 5:03 pm Casey not sure if I can be of much help but we have used Vanilla bricks for some of our house...see" Dollarz house" thread Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 2523 2 6876 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 6046 |
