Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Mar 29, 2016 9:10 am Feels like hardest part of the building process.. I am about to start building my first home and fall in love with Black diamond brick the first time I saw it. So decided to go with black diamond brick with a light colour colorbond roof. I am thinking of Vinyl (Rustic Oak) and carpet for the interiors. I am not sure about the rest of the colours (internal and external). Any tips and help will be much appreciated. I have an appointment with the colour consultant late this week. Thanks in advance. Cheers, Re: Colour Selection 2Mar 29, 2016 5:28 pm I would suggest going through pictures online and save the images you like. I looked at a lot of display homes and real estate listings and saved pictures if what I liked. It made the decision process much easier. You will more than likely find a common theme developing in your saved pictures Custom downslope build Build thread viewtopic.php?f=31&t=61873 Blog http://www.buildingroyalmanor.blogspot.com.au Re: Colour Selection 3Mar 30, 2016 9:39 am HomeAngels I would suggest going through pictures online and save the images you like.

What do you think of my choice(s).. Floor - Nordic Oak (Vinyl) and Desert Echo pacific (Carpet) Ceiling - Greyology 1 Internal Wall - Pale Mushroom 1 External - Black diamond brick Kitchen Benchtop - Essa stone - French Nougat Kitchen cabinet - Burnished wood natural finish Ensuite - Carrara Bianco Natural Finish Ensuite cabinet - 'Pillarbox' natural finish (taking a risk there I guess) Ensuite floor - Lifestyle ice grey Window - Monument Roof - Windspray Gutter - Windspray Fascia - Monument Garage door - Monumnet Front door - Stained Haymes ' Jarrah' Please let me know if you feel some of these colours won't work together. Cheers, P.s. I am planning to start a build thread once I sign the contract Re: Colour Selection 6Apr 05, 2016 7:29 pm Do you have pictures of the colours? I know some of those but not all of them.

I like a dark exterior. Your ensuite and bathroom cabinetry is bold. It's actually refreshing to see someone stray away from neutral colours.

I need to learn how to attract attention to my posts..lol!!! Cheers, Re: Colour Selection 10Apr 11, 2016 11:06 pm Hi, Is there a website to test the colour choices? Something like Boral has http://www.boralsampler.com.au/ but showing the front of the house and we could apply colours to the portico, front door, garage door, bricks and etc.. Cheers, Re: Colour Selection 12Apr 12, 2016 9:57 am Re: Colour Selection 14Apr 12, 2016 12:26 pm d@n As suspected I think the overall look will be quite dark. What colour are the two columns and the supporting beam? I am yet to choose a colour for the 2 columns (only bit pending I guess ). I am thinking of a cream shade like this http://www.farrow-ball.com/farrow's%20c ... uct/100067. There will be a timber paneling on top of the portico (it not in the elevation diagram) What do you think if I go with a colour similar to this http://www.humedoors.com.au/products/en ... nge/xn6#94 (Matching the colour with the timer paneling on top of the portico) for the Main door and Garage? Thank you very much for your advice. Cheers, Re: Colour Selection 16Apr 12, 2016 6:45 pm d@n Is it the maple colour you're referring to? I think the creamy yellow colour is an odd choice with those bricks. Windspray for the roof and gutters is a cool tone, which is fine for the bricks. I might agree with you. I am thinking the same that the front of the house might look darker and I am trying to add some colours to the front door, garage door and portico columns...but I am not sure what colour should I go for... Thank you very much for your comments. Do you have colour in mind that you think will go well with the black diamond brick? Is monument a good choice for Fascia?..I am going with the advice that the Fascia should match with windows colour... Cheers, Re: Colour Selection 17Apr 12, 2016 7:00 pm RegVic Do you have colour in mind that you think will go well with the black diamond brick? Any neutral or cool colour. Quote: Is monument a good choice for Fascia?..I am going with the advice that the Fascia should match with windows colour... Who told you that? I prefer to see fascia match gutters or be a light contrast colour. Especially for single level homes. It helps define the roof line. Re: Colour Selection 18Apr 12, 2016 11:05 pm Thank you for your advice on column colours.. I like the Black diamond brick but it is dark or not depends on the angle I guess. I am posting few pictures below. Even the Selkirk website shows different tones http://www.selkirk.com.au/index.php/ext ... etail.html. This is the reason I decide to go with bit darker roof, gutter and fascia.. I tried the colour choices in a website and I can see it will look nice if Fascia is bit lighter in colour than the gutter colour rather than darker. I am definitely changing the Fascia colour.
