What a great appointment! Our colour selection specialist was the most patient, un-opinionated person i have ever met! She was open to all the directions we took our colour selection and came up with complimentary suggestions with ease.
We are extremely happy with the amount of choices offered, their Laminex laminate choices for both cupboards and bench tops are limited mostly to creams and browns (the current trend). I would have liked to see a few different textures and options in a more 'stone' look and 'wood' look and possibly something like a 'sand' look. Similarly, Beaumont tile choices were really relegated to the world of browns and creams with very few options in border tiles unless you went for actual stones.
The Taubman paint choices were great, the Colorbond and Quantum stone bench choices great also. Overall it was just the 'brown' themes that have let them down with the interiors.
Never mind! We are doing our own carpet and floorboard, followed by feature walls in rich burgundies or greens down the track. the kids have already chosen a feature wall colour which we will do before we move in.
Great read, hope it gets smoother for you as the process goes along.

ReplyDeleteThank you Edscl! I do too, considering this is my 3rd house to build, you would think it gets easier, but i have a feeling i may just be expecting more that is possible! We have been hoping for a time frame as we are living with parents temporarily but that has gone out the window today so instead more than likely we will be off to rent again before the end!
