Top tools and tips for navigating the brick selection process and choosing the right brick colours for your home.
Choosing colours for your new home is one of the most exciting steps of your entire homebuilding journey. However, there are so many styles, textures, and tones to choose from that it can be hard to know where to start.
The facade of your home is 60% bricks, 30% roof and 10% gutter. So it's important to make sure that these three elements complement each other to ensure a cohesive exterior is achieved. When they do, the result is a visually pleasing and cohesive exterior for your new home.
