Unlike interior colors, your home’s exterior hues affect the entire street, which means it’s important to choose the best ones for your home. The problem is, this is easier said than done. With the number of factors that need to be considered, deciding on an exterior palette can be challenging. Juranek Home Improvement Company, the trusted home improvement contractor, shares some expert tips:

Exterior Palette

Focus on the Unchangeable Elements

Unless you’re doing a major renovation, largely visible areas of your home like the roof, pathways, and driveways will stay the same. So it’s important to consider them carefully as you choose exterior colors. What colors would complement your home’s existing palette? You can check for undertones between them that can help you select your shades. Paint colors that can harmoniously tie these fixed elements together are your best choices.

Our expert design team can help you choose different colors that can highlight areas that you want to enhance while still maintaining a pleasant-looking exterior. For instance, your home would look bigger with bold-colored siding. We would complement this with neutral-colored accents to keep a sense of balance.

Consider Your Home’s Architectural Style

Regardless of the type of home you have, your exterior palette should be appropriate to its style. After all, a classic Federal-style home with a burnt orange exterior doesn’t look too pleasing. Fortunately, many paint manufacturers offer historically accurate paint colors that you can base off on when choosing your palette.

Determine the Visual Effect You Want

It’s important to remember, however, that your property is not composed of your home alone. There are the trees, decks, and the rest of the landscape to consider. Is your home far from the road or is it amid a cluster of large trees? If so, it’s best to choose a slightly brighter color than usual so that your home stands out.
