Be inspired by our collection of external colour schemes when you build a home with us
First impressions count, so it’s important that you choose an external colour scheme that best represents your style and reflects what impression you want to make not only to your house guests but to your neighbours as well. So To make things easier, we’ve created a selection of palettes for external colour schemes – all ready to go! You can use them just as they are or make your own tweaks to create your desired colour scheme for the facade of your Perth home.
However, don’t forget that in some land estates in Perth, there are certain design guidelines that must be met to keep the aesthetic of the place – such as in homes by the beach or those by forestland. This means that you might have to include certain features like brickwork on the facade, or exclude items like dark-coloured roofs. No need to worry tough! When you build with Move Homes, we’ll let you know all about these design guidelines and provide you with available options for external colour schemes.
Top things we consider when preparing these colour palettes to serve as your style guide to external colour schemes ~
#1 Cohesiveness – The first thing we look at is checking whether colours and textures match each other – not in a way that would make the palette bland but where there’s a colour that serves as the main highlight while the rest compliments this colour.
#2 Scope – When preparing our style guide for homes in certain suburbs, we take into consideration the allowed or suggested design guidelines so that our clients can focus on choosing what they can have when they build their new homes.
#3 Trends – Aside from the classics, we also look into new and upcoming trends so that we can give our clients a heads-up in terms of where home styles and designs are going.
