Blending Heritage with Modern Life: A Coorparoo Painting Guide

Coorparoo's charm lies in its layers of history. Many homes fall under heritage overlays or simply deserve respect for their era. The challenge is modernising for today's living without erasing the character that makes the suburb special.


Navigating Heritage Considerations:
If your home is in a heritage zone, the Council may have guidelines on exterior colour palettes. We are familiar with these and can help you select from approved schemes that honour the home's period—think deep greens, creams, and rich reds for Queenslanders; softer pastels for post-war cottages.


The key is using traditional colour placement (dark greens on stumps and trim, white on weatherboards) with modern, high-performance paints. For interiors of character homes, restoring original features like picture rails and VJ walls is often preferable. Painting walls in a contemporary colour while keeping trim and ceilings classic white can beautifully bridge old and new.


Updating the Post-War Cottage:
The humble post-war cottage is a Coorparoo icon. To modernise, consider a full exterior repaint in a fresh, contemporary white or grey, but retain one heritage element, like a coloured front door.


Inside, removing old wallpapers, repairing plaster, and painting in light, bright colours can make these cottages feel incredibly spacious and modern. Using a satin finish on walls can help reflect more light in smaller rooms.
