Browse Forums Building A New House Re: Exterior colours - SO CONFUSED! 10Oct 07, 2013 5:03 pm EmyN mimi23 Personally, I'd change the fascia to surfmist and have surfmist windows, but if you really wanted to keep the Dune fascia I'd have Dune windows. Ia I chose dark windows for our new build and it's probably the only thing I regret. The other thing to possibly consider is your window coverings. If you intended on having light coloured blinds or shutters then I would again prefer Surfmist or Dune over Monument. Mimi why do you regret dark windows? Hi Emy, We (I) chose Woodland Grey for our windows because I was worried Surfmist would look to stark, but I now feel the Woodland Grey windows are to dark with our bricks and dark roof and can look a little drab. The other reason is because we ended up putting white shutters throughout the house and although you can't really see the windows internally, I'm not a fan of the contrast of the shutters against the windows externally. We ended up changing the colour of one section of render and our garage door to Surfmist after handover to balance out the darkness. Mimi Re: Exterior colours - SO CONFUSED! 11Oct 07, 2013 8:17 pm Thanks everyone for your feedback. Its definitely going to be between surfmist and dune. I would prefer surfmist as it will go with my internal colours but dune because I believe it will look better externally.
