 * Usually made from brick, Federation houses are framed and articulated by their wooden trims and detailed fretwork and this is where the homeowner can incorporate their personal style with colour.
 * Colours became more muted during this time. While Victorian colours such as Red Oxide were still popular, softer tones of blue, green and pink began to be incorporated.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.5;">This Federation home demonstrates the move towards the more whimsical tones of the early 20th century.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.5;">Several colours are used but the look is still understated.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.5;">The fascia is Dulux Purple Brown.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.5;">The fretwork is Dulux Grey Green and windows and balusters are finished in Dulux Lime White.
 * <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%; line-height: 1.5;">The render is Dulux Pale Vellum.
