Hi---since you want to keep it bright and rich, I suggest Muted aqua/turquoise blue. Pics for inspiration-second pic the furniture and drapery hues would look great with the gold. Good Luck! Love the BOLD Yellow... :) [houzz=][houzz=][houzz=]

Take a clue from the pics....Do it's hard when you're starting and everything needs doing. Find a picture you like and use that as a guide. Do you like the looks of the colors in the two pictures above? Very simple and straight forward with beige/gray bricks and white and black accent colors for shutters and trim.

Hi anne, that's what I was originally thinking, my issue is what colour I use for the 'pop' :) I keep coming back to a teal/turquoise colour (it's one of my favourite colours!!), I love blues, purples, teal/turquoise - many on here have suggested yellow but I'm really not sure about it. Here in New Zealand we're in Autumn, nearing Winter so uncertain about the yellow. I found these cushions that I've fallen in love it, and wondering how I could make these work.. do I try teal and mustard together, as an interior designer suggested?

Hello all ! Have recently pulled out front garden which was very dull , thinking of replacing with white lime chip and some nice greenery to liven the place up. Problem I see and I’m sure you all see , is the front is such a grey slab , I don’t really want to go painting the whole thing at this stage so after some simple solutions to change it up. Paint window sills ? Paint gutter ? Replace front door ? The other part of house is a weather/composite board same colour to the slats in the fence and gate. Any advice is much appreciated !
