This warm and inviting exterior exudes elegance. Dulux Epsom and Southern Alps are used to create a timeless colour scheme.

Timeless

For a beautiful, timeless colour scheme try the subtle shade of Lyttelton with a contrasting roof in Colorsteel® Ironsand. To highlight trims or architectural details, try a clean, crisp trim such as Southern Alps.

Southern Alps

The popular soft ultra-pure white of Southern Alps is the ultimate choice for interiors and exteriors. It is ideal for walls, ceilings, trims and features such as fretwork and window frames. The freshness of Southern Alps will brighten any space and give it a luxe modern vibe.

Dulux Aquanamel®

Dulux Aquanamel® is a low odour, non-yellowing, water-based interior and exterior acrylic enamel that dries to a glossy, tough and chip-resistant finish.
