How to Choose Exterior Paint Colors for Your Home

For one, the look of your home affects the whole block. Make sure that your dreams align with the look and feel of your surroundings, too.

Next, what’s your home’s history? Could you get away with a blue front door? Use this to determine your route, whether it be more traditional or more contemporary.

Last, consider multiple hues and shades of colors to give you your desired outcome. You’ll have your all-over, field color, your trim, and your accents. Can you visualize these coming together to create your vision?

Now let’s taste the rainbow.

5 Popular Color Ideas of 2019

Here are some styles you’ll see when driving around town next.

1. For the Traditionalist – If you’re into a more classic look, consider a navy blue field color with white trim. This spacious color looks grounded and homey. This works well with grey or wood-hued roofs, shingles, and accents.

2. For the Modernist – For something as bright as your outlook on life, try a soft lemon yellow. This will make your home stand out — yet somehow remain understated and neutral.

3. For the Minimalist – You’re a calm, serene person worthy of a desert, beige-hued home. It’s durable, earthy, and one with the elements. This color looks great with deeper-hued accents like navy or granite.

4. For the Fancy – A smoky, fall-inspired red looks great when spread out over a beautiful home. This color invokes warmth, prestige, and a cozy abode that calls on memories of sitting by the fire.

5. For the Out-of-the-Box – If you want to look nothing like the homes on your block, consider a unique color that doesn’t appear outlandish. You can achieve this through pretty blushes, light roses, and peachy pinks.

Pair this with creamy accents, and you’ve got a modern-day paradise.

When it comes to exterior paint jobs, these colors are having their 15 years of fame. (Because let’s be honest — 15 minutes isn’t long enough.)
