Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 15, 2016 1:47 pm What window colour did you choose and why? I'm wanting white plantation shutters and am thinking white windows will be the way to go otherwise I don't think it will give the right look from the exterior. So I guess I'm going to base all my other choices around the white windows LOL Does anyone else have white windows? Seems to be a lot of people choose dark windows.

We chose Dune as it suited the interior colours better than a dark colour would have. Plus our roof, gutters and bricks are all dark so had to break it up with something light.

House looks fantastic and the windows really pop and lighten the overall look! I hope mine work the same, I have brown bricks (not as dark as yours I think) and a very dark blue roof tile. I also thought more about windows from the inside then the out, I didn't want black/dark window frames showing up through my sheer curtains/blinds. Re: Window colours 8Mar 15, 2016 9:07 pm I love white windows!! We've chosen white timber double hung colonial for the facade, pearl white casement colonial and a few other random white window choices. Unfortunately we couldn't afford to continue the colonial Windows throughout the whole home due to the huge cost of each window. We specifically chose the white to contrast with the grey weatherboard. We have chosen a dark coal coloured roof tile.

We have chosen dark to match our roof etc but our bricks are white, so its also a contrast colour for us as I felt white would blend in to much. ~Shellby~ GJ Bridgewater 203 11/3/2016 - Site Work Started 29/9/2016 - Handover 142 Work Days 6 Work Days Over https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80174 Re: Window colours 10Mar 15, 2016 10:46 pm We have planned white plantation shutters for our house, and are having white window frames, white is fairly common with our builder. Here's my colour choices, with the designs we took our inspiration from (all white windows).

Windows to me look like the eyes of the house. -- black = defined with eyeliner and mascara. I wanted shutters in dark timber but they were too costly. Now have dark venetians instead. I have dark internal walls. Very happy with the look. Window colours 12Mar 15, 2016 11:25 pm BTW Tribe who built with Metricon on the Gold Coast has black window frames and white shutters. Stunning look. Worth having a look Re: Window colours 13Mar 21, 2016 9:32 pm HomeAngels We have Dune Windows and a dark roof.

Do you have any photos at all? We haven't started the build yet (next week) but have chosen Dune windows with Ironstone roof and it's the one decision I've been stressing about!!

This was taken prior to the render being done on part of the facade, hence why some bricks are uncleaned. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Hey. Head to a metal and decide on which profile you will use first. Profiles with larger corrugations can greatly change the appearance of the color in different… 0 3384 I'd get the gutters to match your roof and pipes to match the paint - otherwise they become a feature. Nice pick with the paint colours! 1 34270 |
