Follow 3 easy steps to get you started.
Ōkārito
If you dream of a white picket fence, Ōkārito is a clean option that can complete a fresh and contemporary look. Its versatility makes it the perfect choice for different fence styles and materials. Particularly metal and wrought iron, as well as the ideal companion for almost any home exterior colour.
To reinforce the effect, you could also complement with cool greys, dark blues or muted greens. See how the Lake Taylor door and Manorburn Double exterior afford a comforting sense of unity.
Fence
Ōkārito
Ōkārito is a crisp, fresh white that goes with almost anything. It is perfect as a main wall colour for exteriors as well as windows and trims. Ōkārito is a versatile white that suits almost any style of home. It is also the most popular white in the Dulux Colours of New Zealand range.
Maraetai
You don’t have to embrace a bold ‘pop’ of colour to enrich your exterior. Maraetai is a midtone grey with a slight green undertone that can add a hint of colour to your facade. Adding a touch of grey can bring to life the exterior features and transform the look of the home.
Cashmere pairs beautifully with soft neutrals and the subtle tones of Maraetai. Add a pop of colour like Broadway to the door to complete the look.
Routeburn
Add a contemporary feeling to your home that extends all the way to the front door. A fence in Routeburn brings an intriguing and captivating moodiness that draws the eye. It's best suited alongside a modern or minimalist exterior in a cool or neutral colour.
Augment its warming effect by pairing it with greenery, metal or glass landscaping, and complementing it with features like trim, doors and mailboxes in warm whites, soft neutrals and greiges.
These colours can be a great start to your journey in transforming your exterior. It is important to consider other existing exterior elements while choosing your fence colour. Explore a selection of Dulux outdoor colour schemes.
