For a joinery colour that complements the house cladding it is common to choose a tone a few shades up or down from the cladding colour.
Choosing the same colour as the house can give a very clean look, especially in white or cream tones.
Remember, however, that the colour of joinery you choose now may limit options in the future if you want a change of house colour.
Contrasting joinery colours are popular and natural tones such as darker greens, blues, greys or black are often chosen.
Dark or black joinery against a light coloured house, especially in a plaster finish, can look very sharp and attractive.
Matching the joinery colour to the roof or fascia for a unified look is also popular.
It is important to remember that the joinery colour impacts on the inside view and so can influence interior colour schemes. A good option can be to choose a neutral joinery colour that preserves flexibility for interior selections e.g white, cream, grey, taupe, black or silver.
