Choosing the Right Colour
Consider Architectural Style
Different architectural styles may have traditional color schemes. Research the architectural style of your home and consider colours that compliment or enhance its unique features.
Local Environment
Take into account the natural surroundings, such as landscaping, neighbouring houses, and local climate. A colour that harmonizes with the environment tends to look more appealing.
Personal Preferences:
Your personal style and preferences matter. Consider colours that you enjoy and that resonate with your taste. Remember, you're the one who will be living in the house. Your home reflects you.
Permanent Features
Consider the colour of permanent features like the roof, stonework, stucco, metal and adjacent claddings. The colour should compliment these elements rather than clash with them.
Sample Testing
Get samples of the colours you are considering and test them on a small section of your home. This allows you to see how the color looks in the actual environment and how it interacts with other elements.
Lighting Conditions
Assess how the colour looks in different lighting conditions. A colour may look different in broad day light versus an overcast day. Test samples at various times of the day or on different days.
Consult Professionals
If you're unsure, consider consulting with design professionals or colour specialists who can provide guidance based on their expertise. We would also be happy to assist you!
Neighbourhood Guidelines
