How to revitalise your home's exterior

The exterior of your home provides the first impression to guests and passersby and sometimes, it needs a little freshening up. However, rejuvenating your home's aesthetic doesn't necessarily mean a complete overhaul. With a few simple changes made with Dulux paint, you can drastically transform your home's curb appeal.

Open the door to vibrancy with Dulux Aquanamel®

Your front door is more than just an entrance, it's a statement piece. Over time, it may lose its lustre, but that's where Dulux Aquanamel® steps in. Perfect for exterior doors, this paint not only provides a smooth, glossy finish but is also resistant to chipping, ensuring longevity. Consider an earthy pink such as Dulux Pōhutu Geyser for an elegant touch against the warm white of Epsom.

Door

Pōhutu Geyser

Pōhutu Geyser is an earthy brownish-red that works well for accents and front doors. Pair it with a warm white such as Epsom or a very soft pinkish neutral such as Garston Double. Pōhutu Geyser can make a great addition to a traditional or heritage colour scheme.

Enamels

Our water-based and oil-based enamels are designed to provide the hard-wearing finish required for doors, window frames, skirting boards and architraves. Take pride in your painting job with the finishing touches, available in Low Gloss, Semi Gloss and Gloss.

Fence in freshness with Dulux Weathershield®

Weather and time can leave fences looking faded. Transform them with Dulux Weathershield®, specifically designed for exteriors, to make a world of difference. Dulux Weathershield® can protect your fence from the elements while giving it a fresh, new appearance. A light neutral such as Haast offers a softer take on the classic white picket fence, and when paired with the elegant blue-green Punakaiki, it is perfect for an elevated look.

Steel gate and fence

Wigram

Wigram is a warm grey charcoal with a red undertone. It can be used as a feature colour inside or to highlight key architectural interest on the outside.

Makeover with Dulux Metalshield®

Metal gates, railings, and fixtures can start to show signs of wear and tear, including rust. Dulux Metalshield® is tailored to breathe new life into these items. Offering a protective layer, Dulux Metalshield® ensures your metal features remain pristine and robust. Opt for classic colours such as the warm charcoal of Wigram or the near-black of Blackwood Bay to add elegance and sophistication to your metal elements.

Driveway

Tīrau

Tīrau is a classic true grey. This popular shade works well with cool whites such as Ōkārito and Mt Aspiring as well as greys such as Boulder Beach and Manorburn Double.

Drive up the appeal with Dulux Concrete & Paving paint

A driveway may seem like a minor detail, but it can cover a significant portion of a property's frontage. Stains and cracks can diminish its look. Enter Dulux Concrete & Paving, this product is crafted to revitalise driveways, pathways, and even patios. You can transform your driveway from dull to delightful by choosing a contemporary shade such as Tīrau in Dulux® Coloured Sealer Satin.
