Popular Exterior Paint Trends
So, you’ve been thinking about remodeling your home. You get on your computer and stumble upon Peninsula Custom Home Builders. As you explore the gallery you find a wealth of options, particularly when it comes to selecting the perfect paint for your exterior. What’s the right choice? Well, luckily for you, we have timeless AND trending colors to look at, to take away the hassle of researching all the overwhelming options!
1. Earthy Neutral Tones- Brown, Gray, Green and Beiges. These colors have natural tones that play well into the plant life surrounding your home. These colors can also add a softness to the exterior giving it a friendly and warm feeling. If you have a Cottage or Craftsman style home, earthy tones often enhance the cozy feelings that come with that style.
2. Primary Colors- Absolutely, consider red, blue, and yellow for your exterior! Imagine a sunny yellow exterior with a vibrant red or calming blue door – it can bring excitement and playfulness into your home's curb appeal. This is exactly what we mean by enhancing your home's first impression! If you prefer a more subtle approach, you can always opt for the softer hues of these primary colors. Mid-Century Modern homes work great with these colors because it plays into the design aesthetic and can enhance the retro feel that Mid-Century Modern evokes.
3. All-Black Exterior- Black exteriors are gaining popularity for their sleek, modern aesthetic. For example, when you combine a black exterior with wooden accents, your home becomes a standout masterpiece! Just remember that black tends to absorb heat, so it's something to consider. We consider an all-black exterior best for a modern or contemporary home. It also is extremely appealing for Victorian homes because the sense of grandeur and drama it produces.
4. White- It's undoubtedly one of the most popular exterior colors, and there's a good reason for it! White is synonymous with cleanliness, a sleek appearance, and a refreshing vibe. While it might require some maintenance to keep it looking good, the effort can be worth it! A bright white exterior radiates a sense of joy and positivity! A beach house is the perfect structure to have white exterior! It reflects the light and creates a very bright, airy feel that compliments the coast!
5. Red Brick- While it may not be a paint color, exposed brick has a timeless appeal. If your home features brick, consider leaving it in its natural state! Revealing that classic red brick can evoke a sense of tradition, calling back to the imagery and architectural styles of America's past.
