beach-drive-house-colour-scheme

This 1912 house needed a strong, warm colour scheme to give it presence on a lot that was reduced since its construction in 1912. Paint colours have to work in conjunction with roof colours. Wooden shingles were often stained in strong colours of green, reds, ochres or browns in the 1912 period. Choosing colours that complement other building materials like the brick of the chimneys is also important.
