Browse Forums Renovation + Home Improvement 1 Aug 28, 2014 5:37 pm Hi I am a first time poster and somewhat technically challenged - I have not been able to attach a picture We are coming to the end of a two year major renovation and are seeking some guidance with colours for our render. Our roof and gutters and Surfmist, the fascia is Jasper, the downpipes are paperbark. Our front yard aggregate is a mix of Hanson 'Mangrove' (base) and 'Saturn' (stones) which is similar to Holcim 'Mallee'. The backyard is CCS 'Lemon Cream' coloured concrete. I am after some suggestions for colours. The house and verandah pillars will be in the lighter colour and the front master bedroom, front garage/workshop and letterbox will be in the darker/feature colour. I was thinking Dulux Stonecrop/Arava/Backstreet beige for the lighter colour but am not sure. Plus totally stuck for a darker contrast. Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions. Here is a link to some photo's as I could not work out how to attach them to this post. http://s1285.photobucket.com/user/Tashnjeff/media/FrontrenderLR21Aug003_zps7f3311bc.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0 Re: Help with Exterior Render Colours 2Aug 30, 2014 9:00 am Hi, you need to upload your photos to an external photo hosting site, then follow the links they give you and copy to the forum. Most of us spend too much time on here to bother going to external links Re: Help with Exterior Render Colours 3Aug 30, 2014 10:13 am Image link http://i1285.photobucket.com/albums/a583/Tashnjeff/FrontrenderLR21Aug003_zps7f3311bc.jpg Quite an interesting design with those roof lines. You have many options. Not a fan of those colours you mentioned. They look a bit sickly. If you're in NSW, I'd get in touch with Michelle for an onsite consult because of the size and shape of the place. Re: Help with Exterior Render Colours 4Aug 30, 2014 11:27 am Thanks for the reply d@n. The house is in WA. I have been doing quite I bit of research this week, as the painters are going to start in the next week. Originally I was thinking brown tones but I am not set on any colours scheme at the moment, so any suggestions are welcomed. Re: Help with Exterior Render Colours 6Sep 02, 2014 1:18 am So for the main (light) render colour I have chosen Dulux Snuggle Pie. Any suggestions on a darker feature render colour for the master bedroom and front garage? I am thinking that given the large area to be painted in the darker colour, that it should not be too dark .... but all suggestions are welcomed please.
