North Belconnen
Spence, ACT was developed in north Belconnen during the district’s 1970s growth. It is mainly detached family homes with some townhouses.
Choosing a whole-house palette
Repainting a whole interior is a chance to simplify. One main wall colour, one white for ceilings and trims, and an accent for a feature wall or front door usually looks more considered than a different colour in every room. We can put samples on the wall so you can judge them in your own light.

A colour plan for a Spence home
Spence is a compact north Belconnen suburb of family homes and some townhouses, and many of its houses still carry colour schemes from earlier decades. A repaint is a good chance to simplify. One main wall colour, a single white for ceilings and trims, and an accent for a feature wall or the front door usually looks more considered than a different colour in every room. We can paint sample patches so you can see them morning and evening before deciding, because Canberra’s clear light changes colours more than people expect.
Materials of the era
If your home has fibre-cement linings or cladding, they may contain asbestos if installed before 2003, so they are never sanded or drilled. More on painting in Belconnen.
Common questions
Can you help us choose colours?
Yes. We can suggest a palette and put samples on the wall.

Why do colours look different on our walls than on the chart?
Light, room direction and surrounding colours all change how paint looks. Sample patches on the wall are the best guide.
