Browse Forums Building A New House 1 Feb 26, 2017 10:30 pm Hi all. My first post here. We have just started building with HomeGroupWA. We are currently trying to pick our colours but are having a tough time! Exterior colours so far we have Basalt colorbond roof and surf mist walls and window frames. Any suggestions for gutters and fascia? And front door? We are also stuck on interior wall colours, there are so many off whites! So far we have liked lexicon (dulux) but not sure if it's too grey? Any suggestions would be great! Thank you! Re: Interior and exterior colours 3Mar 01, 2017 7:11 pm Hi Lucylivesey! My recommendation would be to ask an accredited painter for colour options. They will be able to tell you which paint will suit for what purpose. Lexicon from my knowledge has some tint to it, so under certain light conditions it appears as blue. Re: Interior and exterior colours 4Mar 02, 2017 10:03 am Hey, (yes I'm having a stalk) how far in to your building plans are you? Do you have building plans? Have you been to a colour appointment? Does your builder offer that? They can put samples out for you to play with! Also, the best advice I have is to go driving around new estates and take photos of homes that you like the colours of. Nothing beats seeing it in person. Good luck!

We live in far north wa so have to do bits and pieces when we visit Perth. My husband and I were there last month so were able to go in and do most of our selections. I'm there on my own next month so will do the official pre start then. I have been looking at houses online for colour ideas, but how do you know which colour it is? We have to write down our paint selections prior to pre start but hopefully when I'm there i can have a closer look at colours. I'll attach a copy of the house plan. It took us a while to get the design right, didn't help that the estate we are building on has super strict design guidelines! But we are super happy with it!

This was something I'd never even thought of, we went ahead with it and I love it. It looks so clean and simple, especially if you have a lot a lot of detail in your facade, like you do. We have a feature pillar like you also & she said to paint the front door the same colour to give the house depth Follow our HGWA build in Baldivis @ http://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.p ... 4#p1604334 Follow our HGWA build in Baldivis @ https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?t=83352&f=31&p=1604334#p1604334 Re: Interior and exterior colours 7May 04, 2017 5:31 pm Basalt gutters and fascia, either timber look garage door with a stained front door to match or I'd go something like shale grey for your garage and paint the front door dark grey or stain charcoal. Lexicon is nice.
