It’s not only inside that counts. Make a great first impression with your home’s exterior and improve your street appeal with an easy refresh. Colours featured: Dulux Greenland Ice (door), Terrace White (wall) and Western Myall® (wall and trims).
From the colour palette of your surroundings to your home’s architectural style, there are lots of things to think about before you start on your home’s exterior.
With any DIY, it’s important to think about existing colours, materials and surfaces that will stay the same — like your roof, driveway or footpaths. It’s usually best to choose similar colours and styles to what your home already has. Be sure to check that any new colours you’re looking to introduce will work harmoniously with what’s already there.

If painting the full exterior of your house seems a little out of reach, how about a fresh new front door? Greet your visitors with a statement with an entrance that will set the tone for the entire house.
Have fun with bright colours that represent your personality, go bold with dramatic black or grey hues, or create patterns in period-style doors with feature accents — the choice is yours! Read our helpful how-to guide to get you started.
While you’re on a roll painting your front door, why not give your windows a fresh lick of paint too?
With any exterior painting project, the preparation is crucial. Use a little elbow grease to clean off cobwebs, dirt and grime, and be sure to sand away any loose or flaking paint before you get started.
