What to keep in mind before painting the exterior of your house?

Choosing the colours to pain your house with is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do. The colours you choose to paint your house with are a reflection of the homeowner’s personality and adds it to the character of the house.

This is why a house painted in black or grey is always termed as a Goth’s house or a haunted mansion.

Thus here is a little help for you to choose the house colour that would made your house solely yours.

• Keep the style of your home in mind.

 

Always always always keep in mind the style if your home in mind as well as the era it belongs to. The architectural structure of some houses such as the ones build in the Victorian Era are made with such intricate and detailed designs that will look amazing painted in earthy hues that stand-out. Similarly Spanish themed houses look best when painted with a more restrained palette.

This is why always research the type of colours people or professional with houses like yours on their hands tend to use and you can always go from there.

• Do not forget your Neighbours.

Santorini, Greece

 People of Santorini, Greece live on an inactive volcano and have build their houses on the slope of the said volcano. Now, to the best of my knowledge, all the residents their paint their houses white that will sort of resemble their neighbours house. But what makes an individual’s house stand out from their neighbours is the bold colours and palettes they use bold, bright colours to paint their doors, windows and their trimmings.

Similarly, you should also keep in mind to paint the exterior of your house in colours that don’t clash with the colours your neighbour’s house is painted in. It doesn’t mean that the colour you choose has to be completely identical but kind of similar so it won’t be too overwhelming on the eyes.

• Go Bold

Having already provided you with that little piece of advice, you should feel like like you should paint your house in similar hues to the one your neighbour has painted theirs in. If you feel like you can use the unusual, attractive colours that are not usually used, well, go ahead!

But just try not to over-do it.

That is it for today folks. We hope that helped. If you are looking for someone to paint your house, you know who to go to.
