Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Aug 15, 2010 1:45 pm Hi, We are building our first new home with Fairmont Homes and are trying to work out what colour windows would look best. Can anyone help? We are considering the following colour scheme: Roof: Surfmist Gutters: Surfmist Downpipes: Surfmist Fascia: Windspray Render (main house): Windspray Render (portico): Ironstone Garage: Surfmist Firstly do you think this is too dark for the house or should we go with a shale grey instead? And what colour windows would go - white, white birch, grey??? I am stuck! Also what are your thoughts with the colour scheme as we really have no idea how it would look on the house. Thanks for your help Re: Window frame colour - pls help 6Aug 15, 2010 3:30 pm Hi Jemima I would be inclined to stick with white too (although you have pretty much the exact same colour scheme as me so I am bias). We did go with a darker front door to mix things up a bit. I found using the M selections (Metricon) website was very helpful in choosing colours. Check out my thread for my m selections projection.

You can not hang anything on steel frames. very frustrating 8 8033 Its the flashing and is normal. Some builders cover them up others just leave them handing. You can cover it up with an aluminium bracket or ask the builder. 7 11245 |
