The Look of the Home

Now comes the fun part - choosing the look and feel of the home.

As you have probably guessed we like the look of Balinese homes, the roof shapes, use of wood and stone, plus the tropical plants and water features to name a few things.

The outer walls of our home will be rendered and the doors, garage and windows at the front will be either made of wood, or have a wood-effect finish.

There will be multiple roof lines with dutch gables, and a raised porch roof with stone veneer columns. The alfresco will have the same stone veneer columns at the back of the house.

We like the idea of a warm light brown/beige render, with a dark grey or light brown roof and the remaining windows and doors to be white. The stone veneer will be a mixture of cream and brown tones.

The colours may be similar to this home...

and have a porch similar to this...

We are considering using these brown tiles instead of the grey...

That's most of the outside decided, although we still have to think about the colours of the eaves, fascias, gutters and downpipes.

Now for the inside :)
