My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Color scheme for a large timber frame new build

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Looking for warm earth tones for new build. Have absolutely no affinity with greys, taupes and white.

North facing living room with large windows. Forested area so worried about green casting. Starting from scratch with everything including furniture. like tans and beiges and browns but not like "let's paint everything Bleeker beige". Any ideas ? Btw, ceilings, doors and beams in plan are medium wood tone, not too orange or grayish, just a nice "neutralish" wood tone.

    I agree that I would go very light on the tans and beiges. BM Texas Sage is a really nice grayish green. Depending on how moody you want it, you could also use a nice warm off white.
