Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 01, 2015 10:25 am Hi everyone, We are going to start building soon and we have been to the color selection studio couple of times to check what is included with our builders and what upgrades can be done. This helps us in getting ready for our color selection. I have taken some pictures for our reference but I am so confused with external and internal colors as there are too many things. External: Roof: Gun Metal Bricks: Boral Glenfern or Brown Terrain Gutters/downpipes etc : monument Windows: Monument Internals : We want the walls to be white (big confusion as there are sooooo many whites) but we think Taubmans white spirit would work. Still not sure Walls: White spirit Doors/architraves: Gloss white spirit Ceilings/Cornice: Builders white ( I dont even know what white color they use) Floors: Laminate Rustic Nougat Carpet : Cat 2 Jet Kitchen: Benchtop: Essastone Panna cotta / new crystal salt / crystal chalk Cabinets: Formica Prestige Walnut / Chocolate Pear Ensuite/Baths Tiles: Milano Latte Matt Benchtop: Essastone New sable luxe Cabinet: Formica Mocha Please let me know any help is appreciated.

I am building in Tarneit Y0u R tH3 Cr3@t0r 0f y0Ur 0Wn R3@L1ty Re: Colors Selection External/Internal 6Oct 02, 2015 11:18 am I'd go with Glenfern brick with off-white mortar, probably flush mortar to emphasise the contrast. You haven't listed a facia colour, or colours for the garage door and front door. I'd perhaps look at getting some lighter contrast in these. A white front door may work well, and will last better than a dark colour if exposed to sunlight. Just going by the Taubmans website, White spirit doesn't look like a very white white, but rather a bit beige. If you're after a real white, then in Taubmans I'd be looking at colours more like Brilliant White, Chalk Wash Quarter, Akimbo, South Pole, Arctic Dawn. These whiter colours may require an extra coat for cover though, and it depends on just how white you want it to be. Out of the benchtops, I prefer New Crystal Salt as long as it isn't whiter than your wall white. Re: Colors Selection External/Internal 7Oct 05, 2015 8:32 am Hi d@n, Here is the facade design oneJohn: Thank you for the insight. Please check the above facade design. We are also thinking about going with Glenfern bricks with off white mortar. Facia color : Monument Garage door: see the below picture. I think it is timber look garage door. Front door: would be similar to garage door ( i think ) Above is the same facade. The bricks in the above picture is glenfern bricks with off white mortar. Agreed white spirit is not very white and on Taubmans website shows a bit beige color. We used the white flash card and compared with a display home and it was similar. I dont know the display home looks white color. God!! there are so many white. What do you think about the colors for Floors with carpet and tiles for ensuite/bath. Do they work out well? Thanks Y0u R tH3 Cr3@t0r 0f y0Ur 0Wn R3@L1ty Re: Colors Selection External/Internal 9Oct 06, 2015 10:09 am d@n External colours look fine so far. What are you thinking for the pillars and cladding? We are want dark color for the pillars and timber look color (sorry pretty new with building ) for the cladding. Really dont know what colors they are going to be. Can you recommend some website where we can check the colors for pillars and cladding.

First Build, Commodore Homes, Honeywood, Wandi. viewtopic.php?t=77170 Thanks !!! still havent decided on the colors but yes trying to get some advise if these colors will work or not. The carpet looks jet black color but it is dark brown. This is where i am confused if it is going to work out with walls being white and flooring being light color.

We love garage door color but was wondering what color main door should be ? can you recommend something ? This is the front door that we have gone with and our builder said that once they have stained the timber is should come pretty close to matching the garage door. if you wanting to keep with the timber look I would recommend the timber front door with the stain to match as it looks amazing together http://i1204.photobucket.com/albums/bb402/jasgofast/image14_zps4n4iamkd.jpeg My Cake Decorating Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/YummyTummyCupcakes12/ Follow our build here: https://forum.homeone.com.au/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=80481 Re: Colors Selection External/Internal 15Nov 09, 2015 11:33 am Kelgofast psyherin Kelgofast Congratulations We have gone with the same colour garage door, we have matched ours with the alpine brick to give it a resort look/feel (matches perfect with timber) Thanks !!!

Your main door looks amazing.... Unfortunately we didnt opt to go with timber door but will have to select some color which might match with garage door.
