I’m gushing over this house today. Look at that amazing colour! I can’t get over how stunning this black looks against all that green. Would such a colour work in India (for exteriors)? I’ve seen some pretty ghastly buildings painted in random geometric shapes including black but they look terrible. How would an old Goan house look in a dark colour scheme? It would certainly stand out against all the primary reds and yellows. And would it make the house hotter (in the temperature sense)?
Look at the ‘Before’ and ‘After’ – pretty awesome, huh? The visible changes seem to be the addition of two window boxes, lots more plants and of course, the dramatic colour of the blue woodwork and pink door.
There are some pretty stunning before and afters here including shots of various rooms. What do you think? Were you bowled over too? Anything you would do differently? I for one, am bookmarking the article to steal some of their ideas!

I love this colour scheme and I think it would look great in India! The timber would come up beautifully an really highlight any traditional features. Rather than using black paint go for a dark charcoal or blue/black.
I could imagine some vibrant rangoli on the path, and maybe a brightly painted carved swing chair on a porch.
