Creating your colour palette
People often ask The Block Judge, Darren Palmer, "What's the right colour palette for the exterior of a home?" It's a bit like asking, "What's the best music or type of art?" There's always an element of subjectivity with any aesthetic challenge, but don't worry, there is a way to get the right answer for you. Check out the video and article from Darren Palmer and COLORBOND® steel's Design & Colour Consultant, Christine McCoy, to help you get it right!

INSPIRATIONAL IDEAS: Hamptons Farmhouse renovation, as featured on 9Life
WA-based Interior Designers, Indah Island have recently completed renovating a stunning family farmhouse in Toodyay, WA. It was originally built in the 1860s by Mark Bowen’s fifth-generation grandfather and has been in his family ever since. When the opportunity to purchase the property arose, Natalee and Mark, of Indah Island, jumped at the chance to keep it in the family. The initial plan was to fix up the original farmhouse and keep it as it a weekender for their family. However, when it was revealed that parts of the homestead were in derelict shape, they instead decided to salvage what they could of the main section of the home and to add on two new wings on either side.
The stunning Hamptons Farmhouse features a roof made from COLORBOND® steel Matt in the colour Surfmist®. Of the selection says Natalee: "COLORBOND® steel Surfmist® Matt is beautiful as it offsets the gorgeous Hamptons style home. It makes it very soft and very palatable for the country."
Note: The products made from COLORBOND® steel and TRUECORE® steel were supplied as part of a commercial agreement with Indah Island.

The Block-inspired flatlays
Flatlays are an essential tool in any designer’s toolkit and in celebration of this season of The Block, we've created five of them – each inspired by one of the period houses. Draw your own inspiration from these colour palettes.
- House #1 (1920s Art Deco, Hollywood Style) - COLORBOND® steel Basalt® Matt lends itself to being used in highly contrasted combinations
- House #2 (1940s Post-War) - COLORBOND® steel Surfmist® Matt was selected for the roofing for a more modern, warmer style
- House #3 (1930s California Bungalow) - COLORBOND® steel Monument® Matt was added as a colour to highlight sections
- House #4 (1910s Federation) - COLORBOND® steel Dune® Matt was chosen to bring a really modern warmth to the facade
- House #5 (1950s Mid-Century) - COLORBOND® steel Shale Grey™ Matt was chosen for the roofing to showcase the coastal inspiration

Vaulted Ceilings with no internal walls made possible with frames made from TRUECORE® steel
If you’re looking into building or renovating a spacious studio or garage for your home, choose frames made from TRUECORE® steel. Have a look at this studio, built using framing made from TRUECORE® steel, from this year’s The Block. It incorporates big vaulted ceilings with no internal walls. This is a "big building benefit and looks fantastic, too", says Darren Palmer.
