What exterior colors work well for you homestyle?
There are thousands of possibilities when it comes to exterior painting, but not every color makes the best exterior paint choice for your home. When it comes to selecting a color that flatters your house, use your home’s style to make an inspired decision.
Here’s a couple of color scheme we recommend for common house styles:
• Craftsman Style Bungalow – A charming craftsman style bungalow benefits from a broad color scheme that flatters their charm. Having a warm color for the exterior of the home, and then a cool color for the trim will make the main color pop. A complementary accent color for the door will pull it all together.
• Farmhouse – A old-fashioned farmhouse looks best with historical colors that suit their peaceful state. Don’t pick a statement color that attracts too much attention, keep things classy with a cool neutral color. Make the house pop with a warm trim color, and blend the two styles with a muted accent color for the door. This insinuates the natural beauty your house has.
• Modern – A modern home is all about clean lines and defined angles. Your exterior house paint should emphasize those features, not hide them. You want to highlight Architectural Details. You can do this by harmonizing everything by choosing similar warm or cool colors for the house and trim. If you’re still wanting a statement piece for your home choose a bold door color.
Once you’ve picked the colors for the main details of your house, now you get to decide whether to downplay or highlight architectural details. Paint acts as an inexpensive camouflage for ugly architectural features like gutters, downspouts, and or vents. If your home has unusual or vintage architectural features that you enjoy, why wouldn’t you highlight them with paint? We suggest a lighter color than the main house color to draw attention to features like gingerbread, corbels, or balustrades.
Using colors to highlight a couple elements
You don’t need to paint the whole house exterior to give your home a facelift. If you use the right color to highlight a few simple elements it can transform your home’s look and boost the curb appeal. If you’re on a budget but want to take small steps to make your home look better, this is the perfect option!
Try highlighting standalone elements, like your front door, shutters, or trim. Adding this pop of color will enhance your home and cost much less than the whole house exterior painting.
