How To Guides
Be bold with a colourful front door
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to update your home's exterior is by painting the front door in a bold and vibrant colour. Consider choosing a hue that complements the existing colour scheme of your home while adding a touch of personality and flair. From cheerful yellows like Sunbound to dramatic blues such as Mondrian Blue or elegant blacks, the options are endless. A colourful front door not only makes a memorable impression but also creates a welcoming entryway that sets the tone for the rest of your home.

Creative trim and accents
Get creative with paint by using it to highlight architectural features and add visual interest to your home's exterior. Consider painting trims, shutters, or window frames in a contrasting colour to make them stand out and draw attention to their unique details. We love this example of a beachy home with exterior walls painted in Silkwort and details painted in Colorbond® Night Sky®. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and experiment with different techniques to achieve a look that reflects your personal style.
Refresh outdoor furniture
Transform your outdoor living space by giving tired or outdated furniture a fresh coat of paint in vibrant and eye-catching colours. Whether you have a wooden bench or a metal patio set, painting them in bold hues can instantly revitalise the look of your outdoor space and create a welcoming atmosphere. We are obsessed with how this ordinary bench has been painted in Green Paw Paw, adding zest to this home's exterior. Consider using weather-resistant paints like Dulux Metalshield that are designed specifically for outdoor use to ensure durability and longevity.
