What is the best way to select color for the exterior of your home? I find that many people get stuck and overwhelmed with the selections of colors available….thus sometimes not making a decision. Here are my tips;
1. Choose the main house color first.
Do you prefer a darker or lighter color for the main color? A good way to gage this is to see what homes in your area interest you-and look at their colors. I am particularly drawn to warm neutrals
2. Choose the trim color;
If your main color is light, choose a darker trim, if the main color is dark, choose a lighter color for the trim. Contrast is always nice. Get out of the same hue-for instance, don’t choose a mocha color for the main color and a camel for the trim-mix it up a bit!
3. Choose an accent color;
This can be used for the door, planter boxes, shutters, etc. Since it’s a smaller area of paint, don’t be afraid to do something fun.
