Embracing COLOUR The varying traditional styles of homes in Australia are a history lesson of the growth of our country and can be seen as we drive around the streets and changing neighbourhoods. Australians love to renovate and whether you decide to stick with a more traditional look or give the exterior a modern twist, these colour schemes will help inspire your selection to bring out the best of your period home. Taubmans has partnered with Interior Designer and Television Presenter, Shaynna Blaze to help you find the perfect colour that will transform your home. As a designer and artist, Shaynna is passionate about colour and how it can transform a home.
“Colour is one of the leading elements to creating your home’s style. Embrace colour and you can take your look in a whole new direction.”

JANUARY DAWN
ELEGANT EVENING
WeatherBOARD ELEGANT EVENING JANUARY DAWN GREY MOTH
Using Elegant Evening on the door and stairs is like an extended “welcome sign” to the home. The Weatherboard home not only moves from period to period, but with change it still holds onto a sense of romance and nostalgia. A gentle palette on the walls and trims using January Dawn and Grey Moth allows the romance of the era to shine through.
SNOW BALLET
TORTE
Victorian STYLE
CHARCOAL SMOKE
Details like darker doors in Charcoal Smoke make a statement and heighten the crispness of the white features of Snow Ballet. The Victorian exterior commands attention and the decorative lattice work is a feature that really shines when defined with a contrast colour. A darker colour on the walls like Torte makes sure the lattice work is the main feature of the exterior.

Californian BUNGALOW
ORNAMENTAL PEARL
A deep modern colour like Knight Lancelot with a grey base of Ornamental Pearl works well with traditional slate roof tiles. The Californian Bungalow is one of the easiest styles of house to make the transition from a traditional look to modern, and colour is the best way to change the look without losing the features that make these houses so loved.

CAFE
TEAGUE
Natural MATERIALS OLD CREAM
A subtle colour such as Cafe on the walls will complement an earthy floor and add length to the verandah. Natural stone was often sourced locally in the early building days and taking the colour lead from the stone creates a warm palette. Using complementary hues like Teague and Old Cream to the pathway and sandstone steps gives a great flow from the garden to the house.

OLD CREAM
TEAGUE
QueensLANDER Lazing on the wide expansive balcony to beat the harsh Australian sun and oppressive heat lead to one of the most iconic Australian house designs. Using the strong hue of Rune Stone on the roof gives the cottage’s cool palette theme a layer of richness. An airy feel then comes with the use of Sea Command and Blue Strike on the rest of the home.
