When choosing a color for your home, it’s important to choose one that will benefit the space the most. That said, if you’re like most homeowners, you not only want to choose the right colors but ones that will seamlessly coordinate all the exterior elements of your home. A Cut Above Exteriors, the premier remodeling company, shares the different colors perfect for the rooms in your home.

Plan Around Permanent Materials

If your home has an existing brick foundation or patio, it’s ideal to choose a paint shade that works well with their underlying tones.  You don’t have to choose the same color; rather, you should pair opposites in terms of color temperature. For instance, if your home has a red brick foundation, go with shades of gray and blue to complement the warm red hues instead of brown exterior paint.

Consider Your Home’s Architectural Style

Whether you have a mid-century modern ranch or a rustic Craftsman bungalow, your chosen paint color should be true to your home’s architectural style. After all, painting an elegant Queen Anne Victorian a bright shade of pink would be an eyesore and a waste of time and money. As an exterior remodeling expert, our team at A Cut Above Exteriors can help you choose the right colors for your home’s style. We’ll also offer suggestions on complementing shades for your other exterior elements like the trim and windows.

Determine the Visual Effect You Want

Your home’s exterior color not only affects its beauty but also its size. Lighter, brighter colors can make small homes look bigger, while darker hues can make it look smaller. Consider your home’s position from the road. Is it near the edge or is it amid a cluster of towering trees? Determine the effect you want and choose a color based on that.
