Classic Façades

The Classic style brings to life elegance, symmetry and balance. At its foundation is a beautiful neutral palette that honours traditional architecture but always maintains a warm, welcoming and homely environment. 

The Classic style is broken into four subsets to further explore your preferred design aesthetic within the Classic style and take away the foundation colours, materials and finishes to bring your style to life.

THE OVERALL CLASSIC STYLE

A warm toned brick with texture and depth reflects true Classic style. Windows are an integral part of a Classic home and white is always the first choice. A flat profile roof creates a sense of history and reflects a traditional shingle look. A solid front door adds a regal feel to a home and is truly reflective of this style’s rich history.

PLANTATION

Rich timbers featured on the facade with timber shutters, and romans are key choices for window furnishings. 

HAMPTONS

Brickwork or a brickwork and weatherboard mix on the façade, rather than full render, suits the Hamptons style. You may also see rich blues utilised, such as deep ocean, to provide a heritage feel.

COUNTRY

Brickwork or brickwork and render on a façade, rather than full render, also suits this style. Weatherboard is also a perfect addition.

VINTAGE

The vintage style is incredibly versatile and appealing. White washed and grey timbers can be used to help achieve this look.
