Heritage Colour Made Simple

Sep 18, 2013 by Inspirations Paint

Federation House

• Usually made from brick, Federation houses are framed and articulated by their wooden trims and detailed fretwork and this is where the homeowner can incorporate their personal style with colour.
• Colours became more muted during this time. While Victorian colours such as Red Oxide were still popular, softer tones of blue, green and pink began to be incorporated.

This Federation home demonstrates the move towards the more whimsical tones of the early 20th century.

• Several colours are used but the look is still understated.
• The fascia is Dulux Purple Brown.
• The fretwork is Dulux Grey Green and windows and balusters are finished in Dulux Lime White.
• The render is Dulux Pale Vellum.
