Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Jan 24, 2010 3:52 pm I am sleepless over exterior colours. Opinions welcome! Contemporary 2 storey home ( AVJ ) Savannah. Husband wants - roof mocha choc tile -jasper guttering etc - chino weatherbords on top level -paperbark windows & garage doors -brick - portland -balcony & portico render squire house ( main rendered area) -render around 1 garage door - Donkey This is the colours the exhibition house is in. It looks nice, but is 1995 colours. I think too much brown , and today colours would be better. I am happy with portland bricks, but welcome some fresh ideas! Any suggestions for contemporary look ?( we will be selling this home) Many thanks !! Re: colour suggestions please 4Jan 25, 2010 6:53 am Too me the amount of colours looks a bit excessive. But, that's me with my own preferences and tastes that won't balance with those of yours/your husband. Accounting to this I won't be even trying to speak in specific colours but rather could recommend searching the Internet on "colour circle" - the first tool designers use when selecting a combination of colours. Different mixes provide different effects, have different levels of agreement/conflict between colours and so on. For example, a combination of red and green will provide pretty much the same effect as a combination of yellow and blue (both combinations are opposite and will create nice and distinct contrast plus can make a room/garden fill bigger-smaller) but which combination (red/green vs blue/yellow) is pretty much a personal choice.

I know what Donkey is and Paperbark and I have seen a Chino but may not be the same one. Did you take a photo of the house It does sound a lot of different colours and darkish ones at that. Let me think okay when I see new houses built around my area, they tend to be in the lighter greys or whites, then there are some in a darker colour with a light colour and a splash of something bright (these were very modern townhouses) gee I'm a huge help Hi, Looking to add an ensuite to one of the bedrooms and make it a Master BR.
