Light and bright

A striking white exterior will keep your home looking fresh, modern, and elegant for years to come. Inviting, bright and open, an all-white house helps to create a natural canvas that allows other design elements, such as landscaping and furniture to sing.

Modern

Be bold and make a statement with greys, charcoals, and near-blacks. These colours look both contemporary and striking. A dark colour scheme can completely modernise your home, make it stand out on your street or in a bush setting, and even help the building to retreat into its surroundings. Bold greys and near-blacks are very popular now and work well when paired with natural materials such as wood or brick.

You’ll find some of our most popular colour schemes and products, designed to work not only on your home exterior, but also on other areas around your home like fences, garden sheds, garages and paving.

Classic

Create a sense of harmony and balance with elegant soft greys and neutrals. These refined hues are subtle and versatile — ideal for creating a timeless and understated look. These schemes can be used to enhance a more traditional style of home or help you achieve a more classic look on a new-build.

Love of colour

Sometimes the clever application of a splash of colour is all that is needed to lift your home to brand new heights. A neutral colour scheme can provide the perfect backdrop for a bold front door, that welcomes visitors and provides a personal stamp on your home.
