6 Exciting Exterior House Painting Ideas for Your Home

 

They say “Don’t judge a book by its cover”. But that saying seems worthless while deciding on a paint color for your home’s exterior. Deciding an attractive color combination for your home gives it a completely new look.

However, if you are confused about which type of color you should choose, here are some factors to look at. Plus, you can seek the help of local painters in Oshawa as well to make the process easier.

Identify The Era of Architecture

If you are not sure about the color combination for your home, the best way is to look at its architecture. Does your home feel classic or modern from the outside? Does it reflect Italian, German, or Traditional Canadian architectural style? How the roof has been designed?

When you start answering these questions, your home will tell you a whole story about itself. Then you can decide the best color combination. For example: if it has been built on Italian architecture, the Ivory and Chocolate Brown color will look amazing on it.

Similarly, if it has some modern style then you can choose a monochromatic theme (black and dark grey) for your home.

Look at Other Houses in Your Neighborhood

It is said in marketing that “If you want to grow, look at your competition and study them”. The same advice goes for you. If you want to get a better idea for your exterior paint choice, have a look at neighbor houses.

Now, this doesn’t mean you have to exactly copy them or you are bound to do the same color because everyone in your town is having the same color. You can just take an idea from there and modify the things according to your personality.

Analyze the Elements

Another good idea for exterior paint selection is to look at your home elements. Like the roof shingles, tiles, the wall stonework, or driveway. Since these elements give your home a distinct accent, make sure to choose colors that support their beauty.

If you have green roof tiles then a rich green color with a white outline outperforms. The same goes for an ocean blue color with an ivory-white roof. Or you can choose warm colors depending on your house elements and the impression they are having on you.

 

 

Look For the Trends

Looking for the latest trends may also help a lot but we are not personally a big fan of trends. We believe every home has a unique look and tells its unique story. Hence, every home should be treated differently.
