Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge Re: Render colour 21Jul 20, 2010 8:25 pm It’s a big house…and a nice one at that! You are having timber front doors, so have you thought about what you are putting at your windows for window dressings? This will make an impact externally as well. I would suggest some timber blinds. I would also suggest a timber look garage door. We need balance and a break in colour externally. Answer those questions for me and I can move on with more for you.

Today , I checked with the garage door rep and the garage has not been ordered yet and I feel much better. Personally I don't like the profile of the panel lift garage doors on the pic. I like the look of the full tilt doors with mouldings. I planned on having plantation shutters for those windows.

Russian Toffee I know and it is a nice colour. I'll get the samples and try them out, order a diff. garage door. Any advise on what colour timber stain for the door? I am pleased though that after some deliberating, I have ordered wrought iron inserts for the entry doors and possibly stretch the budjet to include a hand made ballustrade. Re: Render colour 25Jul 21, 2010 9:27 pm No offence to your Dulux colour consultant here, but I’ve re-done a few of their colours for clients…. Timber look garage doors only come in two colours, so pic the "Caoba Dawn" colour and match a stain for your front door with that.
