*do I have to give up all other colours now?*

You have chosen similar internal colours to me....i am unaware of your tiling style but your paint colours are similar, as is your kitchen benchtop.... I also wanted to have the taupe, white, chocolate black and silver in the house. I will also be looking at one feature wall colour which will be darker than the hogs bristle, but not really a chocolate, plus another dark colour for our theatre room.. We have chosen Spotted Gum for our flooring which will has a very neutral tone throughout (not too dark or too light in colour), with mocha colour tiles in the bathrooms/toilet and laundry. And dark mocha carpet. I love your colour scheme. Try to put together a colour board with samples of your selections on them. Stare at them until you are absolutely certain you are happy with your colours - we did. I am happy with our selection, now have better things to focus on .....like finding new decorator items / feature lights and furniture to fill the house with....    16 Dec 2007 862 Gold Member Re: Internal colours.....how many 3Dec 17, 2007 12:06 am oh thanks thats great
yep I have one bathroom mocha floor tiles (with offwhite wall tiles) other bathroom is a lighter taupe floor with offwhite tiles what colour are you having for your kitchen doors and are you having just one colour or two? what colour furniture are you thinking? Re: Internal colours.....how many 4Dec 17, 2007 10:28 am No problems Bec,
for the kitchen: oyster linea nova aurora c/stone top moleskin overhead cupboards starphire glass splashback in alecon lace to contrast. Spotted Gum Timber floor through kitchen bathroom / ensuite: oyster linea ice snow c/stone top Mocha floor tiles, White wall tiles Laundry: mushroom linea brook pebble laminate top Mocha floor tiles White wall tiles Our builder didn't offer dulux, so we chose the as close as we could to the Hogs Bristle equivalent colours in Taubmans: Main walls: Moon River Archs/Skirts/internal doors: Ashwood Possible feature colour: Colonial To give you an idea, check out my blog and you'll be able to see the colours. It was easy to imagine the timber floor as it was already down in the display... except we will have ours running down the length of the house and not accross it. You'll see what i mean when you see the pics.

Re: Internal colours.....how many 5Dec 17, 2007 11:12 am becare you having just one colour or two? what colour furniture are you thinking? Sorry bec, in regards to the colours, probably 2, the Colonial for a feature wall somewhere - haven't decided where yet.... and a darker colour again in the theatre. Regarding furniture, we have a mixture at the moment. Black and chocolate leather lounges Going to re-stain the dining table to a darker colour instead of the teaky colour it currently is.. The 8 dining chairs for the table are a light chocolate colour macro-suede. Entertainment unit is also of a teaky colour, that will be re-stained to match the dining table/chair legs as they are in an open plan family/kitchen/meals area were you can see both. I have seen a gorgeous silk/wool shaggy style rug which is predominatly black with slivers of silver/pewter in there as well.... Looking at artwork like this - but might try doing it myself :http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/matthewnathan/d9beab50.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/matthewnathan/5f21bfe6.jpg
They are available from http://www.kanvas.com.au/index.asp I like this sort of style too, but can't find this style of desk anywhere??? http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee299/matthewnathan/dbb3a895.jpg Our theatre will be mocha/black/silver colourings as well...

No you don’t have to give up on all other colours. This is where cushions on your lounges and beds come into play, as well as bedspreads. Other colours to complement your colour scheme – 1) Burnt Orange 2) Lime Green 3) Ming Blue 4) Deep Mustard 5) Deep Pink 6) Deep Purples 7) Golds Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Internal colours.....how many 11Dec 18, 2007 3:26 pm becQuestion2 also in the alfresco could I suddenly incorporate some bright colours and what?! Definitely do this; outdoor entertaining areas should be a fun place, which makes you feel as though you ARE outside of your home. Don’t go overboard….but certainly add some fun and colour to this space.

Please take a look at this link……professionally…..this question will take way too long to answer. Take your time….its a good resource of information.
