Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Feb 06, 2017 8:50 pm Hi, we've just completed painting our house in dulux Dune. Now we are stuck on what colour the garage door should be? Also the mailbox and front entrance. The aim is to also have White plantation shutters for the windows inside. Would really like some advice please Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Re: Garage door colour help 3Feb 07, 2017 7:33 am Aesthetically I would match the garage door to your gutters, it looks like Monument. Then match the letterbox to the house and use dark grey or black numbers as contrast. This doesn't take into account any heat issues (as per previous post) but would look good My blog: tashandpaul.wordpress.com Re: Garage door colour help 4Feb 07, 2017 8:08 am TashPaul Aesthetically I would match the garage door to your gutters, it looks like Monument.

This doesn't take into account any heat issues (as per previous post) but would look good We were going to use Surfmist - tried on the entrance and mailbox. Mixed feelings. The entrance looks fine but the mailbox looks awkward. So maybe the mailbox should be the Monument colour like the roof and the garage door the Surfmist? I just can't make myself go the monument for the garage door, thinking it's too much? Also thinking of a plaque on mailbox to update a bit. Like a stainless Steel and plate look? Don't know where to get those either Keep the suggestions coming please Re: Garage door colour help 5Feb 07, 2017 9:27 am I am mocking up some pics for you. Are your windows black? What colour is the front door? I know you can't really see it but it would be good to know for the pics I am doing.

Re: Garage door colour help 7Feb 07, 2017 1:25 pm Ok, this has taken a while as photobucket was playing up. I hope that it helps. I know that this isn't your house design but I tried my best just so you can see the colours and how they go together. The house is rendered in Dune, the windows are dark grey, the gutters and fascia monument. If you want to play around with it more, google 'carlisle homes visualiser'.

I think from the above images Garage in Surfmist or Wallaby can be opted. Both the colours are good.
