Our External colours Bricks: Austral Metropolis Marcasite with flushed Off-White Mortar Roof & Gutter: Colorbond Woodland Grey Fascia, Downpipes & Water Tank: Colorbond Dune Garage Door: Gliderol Tuscan Panel-lift in Colorbond Woodland Grey Driveway: Plain driveway with an edge brick header boarder – all in Gunmetal Windows: Trend Anodic Natural (Silver) Front Door: Infinity 8G in a Jarrah Stain with Translucent Glass & Satin Chrome Oblong Pull Handle any advice would be helpful thanks !! ______________________________________________________________________ Our Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52185 Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 2Dec 14, 2011 12:12 am Do you like all the dark? It's not to everyone's taste, but then, I'm pretty sure we don't all want our houses looking the same either!! In my own, personal opinion, it's not what I would choose, with the grey bricks and grey roof..... But I'm no expert and I may just have different tastes! Actually, I know I do! Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 3Dec 14, 2011 4:39 am we are thinking of changing the garage door to a timer one, as there are also timber posts around the house similiar to this pic http://www.fowlerhomes.com.au/property-details/monte-carlo ______________________________________________________________________ Our Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52185 Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 4Dec 14, 2011 4:44 am dark garage door not sitting well with me, think its looks to 90's. Hubby doesnt want light so timber our only option, looks good on dispaly home ______________________________________________________________________ Our Build Thread: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=52185 Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 6Dec 15, 2011 12:02 am I think the colour of the garage can have a big impact (especially if it's at the front of your house....) Timber sounds really good, especially if you have other timber to tie it in with. I'm no expert on colours, that's just my opinion. Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 7Feb 25, 2012 8:18 pm I think definitely go with the timber garage door, it will match in with your front door and add a bit of colour. Seems like we have similar taste, we've also chosen a timber look garage door and the 8g infinity front door cant wait to hear what you decide on. Feel free to have a look at my thread, we're yet to start building but once we do I'll be posting lots of photos! Kayla Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 8Feb 25, 2012 8:23 pm Another option would be to have Dune for the garage door to break up the dark a bit. But if you are having timber features elsewhere, I agree with above, the timber garage door would look great. I think dark looks so striking, couldn't talk DH into it though. Good luck with your selections! Jess Re: Exterior House Colours - Need Help! 9Jun 06, 2013 3:17 pm I have posted a pic on my thread but will post here as well Im am wanting to break up all the brown and maybe render or cement clad the front garage wall.
