Browse Forums Building A New House 1 May 28, 2017 7:52 pm About 4 weeks ago we sat down with our colour consultant and decided on our exterior colours and fascia. Until this week I got cold feet and asked to change. I am terrible with making choices and decisions! (So glad we decided to build 😜) Initially we went in with two very different ideas. Light brick and dark brick. We originally went with the light brick. The safer choice we were told. We were happy. I liked it. But not long after we left and the more research I did I realised I didn't in fact love it. We have decided a darker brick is going to be for us. This is our exterior run-down Brick : breaking dawn.

Also i feel that it can hide water stains that could potentially develop over a longer period of time. You've got lots of contrasting light bits with the Surfmist and the Linseed to give it a nice balance. I wish we could plug all our choices into an app that showed us our exact house design with our colour selections. It would make these decisions much easier. Good luck. Re: Exterior colours .....

We had an interior designer assigned to us as well James Treble and he helped us greatly after we chosen the tile and the bricks with the rest of our external colours.
