Which colour?

  • Consider a masonry colour for your main wall areas and a complementary masonry colour for sills and plinths.
  • Choose a complementary or bold accent colour for doors and windows.
  • Use bright colours in enclosed space for a feeling of intimacy.
  • Be inspired by your surrounding and use colours that tone with the environment.
  • Light colours make a detached home look bigger, warm colour reduce size.
  • Sunny aspects can take cool colours, north facing houses require warmer tones.
  • Isolated houses and busy terraces carry bold colours.
  • Semi-detached houses should complement one another.
