Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Sep 15, 2010 12:29 pm Hi, we need to get a new garage door so this has triggered a new colour scheme for the exterior of our house! (We're a bit sick of the cream paintwork.) We need to choose the garage door colour and fascia/trims and window frame colours. Down the track we may decide to bag the brickwork, so this needs to be taken into consideration when selecting colours. Garage door - Shale Grey (to vaguely match the roof and contrast with dark grey driveway) Trims - Timeless grey or similar mid-tone grey Bag/render - Dune OR Trims in Dune and Timeless grey for bagging Or should the trims match the garage door? Aaaargh, it does my head in!! Please see photo (hope it works) and let me know your thoughts. The driveway colour is now a dark grey (not the terracotta shown in pic). Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ The house is in a coastal area. Keep in mind we may not end up bagging/rendering the house, so trim and garage colours are the priority. Any advice appreciated thanks!

Anyhoo, I guess my main question is whether it would look ok for the garage door colour to match the roof (by choosing Shale Grey), or should the garage door colour match the trims? (Assume bricks stay as they are)! Thanks I'm renovating - building a small extension at the back of the late Edwardian house. This is the first stage. Second stage of the renovation will be to replace roof on… 0 1062 Thankyou so much 😀 I've decided on White on white for doors and trims, White on white 50% on ceiling and Mt buller for walls. Fingers crossed it will look OK 😀 2 7138 Thank you @. Tried to play with the facade models but the exact colour is not matching up. 2 3212 |
