Choosing a white roof for your home

Modern Home Magazine

I absolutely adore white roofs at the moment.  Not that many around, but they are fabulous. So fresh and crisp and lend themselves to endless exterior colour schemes.  If I was building or renovating again, Surfmist by colourbond would win hands down!!

Although recently I have had a few clients who have had their surfmist dreams shattered by ridiculous councils who have knocked back this colour as it “does not blend” into the escarpment.

The delightful blogger and designer A-M designed her home “The House” with all white roof, gutters and fascia’s and detailed her journey of building this beauty here. I think this all white combination is stunning! You can always change the house colour as anything goes with white!

Here are a few more white top lovelies to get you inspired…..

    Oh that would be my place! I got sent this article in my inbox this morning. Thank you for your kind words. I am a sucker for a white roof… as long as the exterior colour is a nice contrast.
    How can councils knock back Surfmist? It’s perfect! Adding you to my bloggy role. A-M xx

      Hi A-M, can’t wait to see your next house…hmmm another white roof maybe? Hope you get your dream block soon so you can start pulling all those dreamy images you post into a real life house!

    It’s funny how often I see people dreaming of a white roof down south. Up north, almost everyone has a white or beige roof (thanks to energy efficiency) and people wish for a darker look!
