This modern coastal renovation in Caringbah South explores how a carefully layered exterior palette can transform a home. Using a Colorbond Surfmist roof, Dulux exterior colour palette, and Decowood timber battens, the design creates a light, relaxed facade suited to the coastal climate of the Sutherland Shire. This case study shares the materials, colour selections, and design decisions behind the transformation.

Spending thousands on a repaint won’t guarantee great curb appeal if the small details are off. Discover the five exterior elements that make or break your home’s look — and how to make them work together — in this designer’s guide to curb appeal.
