Not loving how the outside of the house is looking these days? Maybe it’s a little drab? Needs a little sprucing up? A new exterior paint color is one of the quickest ways to give your house a face-lift. This is a big investment, so it’s not very easy to change if you don’t love the end result, making what seems like a simple decision trickier than you might have expected.
But how can you make the best decision possible when choosing that new exterior paint color?
You’d be surprised at the number of outside elements at play that you should consider before you choose a color scheme.
Things like:
- the hue of your brick chimney or the color of your roof, you want everything to flow together in a cohesive way.
- The color your neighbors chose for their house, you don’t want the homes to clash.
- The area you live in, you want to stand out but you don’t want to bring property values down or worse, make your neighbors mad.
- Keeping these things in mind when making your decision will help you choose the right color best suited for your home.
