There is no doubt that coastal style is one of the most sought after looks for our homes. Colours and finishes inspired by the beach lend themselves to a wide range of tastes from classic coastal to a more bohemian laid-back look.

Are you finding selecting colours for the exterior of your home stressful?‍ Do you lie awake at night worrying about how you colours will look?‍ The exterior is the first impression everyone has of your home so taking the time to get it right is well worth it.

There is so much variety in tapware, they come in many different colours, you can choose from a range of finishes or have your taps customised to match your colour scheme.

Choosing the right tiles for from what is available can be overwhelming if you don’t know what look you want.  

We are always looking for ways to bring a modern touch to our homes. We tend to shy away from using bright colour for fear of how it will look at that it will date quickly.

Are you struggling with the decision of what colours to choose for the exterior of your home? You have probably searched Pinterest and driven around the suburbs looking for inspiration and getting ideas of what you like.

I get a lot of queries about what colours exterior trims like gutters, fascias, downpipes and windows should be. It is an area that people really struggle with.  ‍The most common questions I get are “should my gutters blend in with the walls or the roof?” or “should my fascia match the gutters?” or “what colour should I paint my downpipes?”‍

There is a fine line between just enough and too much when it comes to colour and finishes in a room.

So many people are afraid of dark colours. The most common thinking is that it will make rooms feel smaller. For this reason so many people go with all white.But dark walls don’t necessarily make a room look smaller. Painting a wall in a very dark colour can make it disappear and bring the focus to what is on the wall.

Colour is one of those things that a lot of people take for granted. They paint their house the first white they find, they go and select a beige carpet and white kitchen cupboards, a grey benchtop and that is the last time they think about it. They don’t mind the result but they don’t love it.
