Black exteriors

There is something mysterious about a black home isn't there?

So dramatic, so stylish!

No worries about the colour dating as black is always a classic.

In a cold climate it would be a great choice as the black would absorb and retain the heat much better.

If I could, I would do a black exterior for a change, but I fear it would be much too hot in our Australian sun. And it would fade far too quickly too.

Here's some inspiration.........

Green and black always a winner


I think black wins hands-down to get that dramatic look and it can give even the most rustic barn some sophistication.

Would you, or have you done a black house?
