Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Jul 20, 2009 11:41 am Hi, We're building the Riverton 30 from Carlisle Homes at point cook and currently booked in for colour selections next week. Just finished the long and arduous task of deciding our interiors but unfortunately still stuck (and unsure) about the render colours that might match our facade.. http://img521.imageshack.us/img521/7936 ... ade.th.jpg We're going for the Austral Homestead Tan bricks with offwhite mortar. I was thinking of the woodland grey for the garage, but again totally clueless on how to get it all together. Would really appreciate some suggestions. Cheers Sam Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 2Jul 20, 2009 7:57 pm Yes woodland Grey will look good. What’s going on the roof?

As for the tiles I am thinking of barramundi on a tudor profile. The render colours seemed to be the most confusing part. I need to choose two and not sure where to begin. Cheers, Sam Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 4Jul 22, 2009 3:35 pm Michelle, Here's a link to a better pic http://img27.imageshack.us/i/rivertonfacade.jpg/ The facade we're building will be slightly different to the one in the pic with the following variations: i.e 1. The rendered portion around the window will be more like an inverted "U" as opposed to the inverted "L" shown in the pic 2. The portion around the entrance door will be more like an proper inverted "L" (almost similar to the one shown in the pic) 3. Painted infill above the garage door. I am still not sure about the colour but was wondering about the following combination : dreyfus for the inverted U and garage infill oriental spice (or something like wine brown) for the inverted L portion around the entrance door. Does that sound alright? Cheers Sam Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 5Jul 22, 2009 3:46 pm We agonised over the colour of our rendered front and the and the windows and the garage door and the roof and the gutters and the fascia and the font door !! We finally chose Ironstone for the roof and gutters, metro silver for the windows, dune for the render and fascias and cedar look for the garage door. our Roof has gone on and gutters/fascias/windows now and we are pleased BUT we are still apprehensive about the render colour and garage door, obviously we won't know this until it actually happens. Not that your colours are the same but DUNE with a darker roof seems to contrast nicely but only time will tell. Good luck Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 6Jul 22, 2009 4:04 pm Sorry, I went out for diner last night and still at work now. I have a business matter to sort out when I get home, so I’ll see how I go tonight in answering a few questions in here. Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 7Jul 23, 2009 4:48 pm Vid, Thanks for sharing your inputs. I am with you on this. Getting the colour right is truly agonizing. Michelle, Got my selections tomorrow and was wondering if you have any inputs as well?

Internal and External Building and Colour Consultant Online - Worldwide http://www.denovoconcepts.com Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 11Jul 27, 2009 3:11 pm Hi, Just wanted to convey our thanks to Michelle and everyone else who have helped us in our quest for the (hopefully) perfect render colour! We finally went for a "Claydust" and "Oriental Spice" combination. Yep all that happened after a series of YES,NAA and MAYBE's! lol! We're still not sure how it would finally look like (thanks to our limited visualization skills) but do have a gut feeling that it should be okay! fingers crossed! Here's what we've chosen as part of our external selection: Brick: Austral homestead tan Render colours: Claydust (around the window and pianted infill over the garage) and Oriental Spice (for the feature) Garage Door: Jarrah Roof Tiles : Barramundi on a tudor profile Cheers Sam Re: Need some help with the exterior render colours 12Aug 01, 2009 3:31 pm I do not know how I missed this thread!!! Sam we are building a Riverton as well. We are going to go with 3 render colours to our front facade. We had finally settled on Raku (The dark grey) CB Dune Red Stop Austral Nougat bricks Monument Guttering and Facsia And still undecided but we think we are going to go with a Monier Wild Rice roof tile in the traditional profile. See the following two pictures for what it will look similar to in the end and the photo we got our inspiration from.

Woodgrain garage door If you want I can put your colours on this facade (Somerton) so you can get an idea of what it would be like, might take me a while to get around to it busy with study. Just let me know what goes where.
