Six Exterior House Paint Ideas We Love
Painting the exterior of your home can be an arduous task, yet vitally important if you’re planning to sell.
New paint on your house exterior can dramatically transform its appearance, but how can you achieve success with it?
Carlene Duffy, former The Block star and design expert, shared her advice for choosing exterior paint ideas.
Cottage with color
There is no set rule when selecting the hue for your cottage’s walls – ultimately it is up to you and only you to decide!
But if you want an eye-catching shade in your home without it standing out like an eyesore, there are ways to achieve this feat.
As Carlene insists, take as many samples as you can.
“Selecting exterior colors can be daunting, so most homeowners opt for neutrals; but if you are thinking of taking a bold step and choosing something such as yellow, make sure that you conduct plenty of samples,” advises Smith. “Pick one large swatch at different times of day to observe its changes.”
Carlene advises choosing more subdued hues while taking into account your home’s style and location when making this decision.
“For a charming coastal home, I think a buttery yellow with white trims would make for an adorable alternative to the more common white hue,” according to Sheena.
“I saw an extraordinary sage green home – it was modern but unique because you don’t see many contemporary homes with colors like that in rural settings – which was absolutely charming and perfect!”
As another way of injecting color and personality into an exterior space, painting your door or mailbox with colors you love is an effective way of adding that personal touch.
