Helpful Tips When Choosing Exterior House Colours

There are quite a number of mistakes that home owners make when choosing exterior house colours. One of these is painting different parts of the house like the door, gutters, air conditioning units and windows using clashing colours. The other mistake is ignoring the neighbouring houses hence choosing a colour scheme that does not blend with the rest of the houses. Many home owners also ignore landscaping and will not consider such things as flowering bushes and trees that change colour for the sake of compatibility.

There are several things that must be looked at when choosing exterior house colours. First you need to examine colour samples outdoors. Examine them at different angles and different times of the day. You could buy small amounts and paint a small section to view the body, the trim and the accent together. You have to pay close attention to such things as sun intensity since intense sun will in most cases wash out colours. Brighter exterior house colours for instance are best suited in Sunbelt areas.

Light colours have previously been very popular. Consumers have however gained a great sense of confidence with colours and there is now a broad spectrum of colours available for exterior use. Tinted neutrals are increasingly finding use as they work well with landscaping. Light colours can be used for windowsills as they are very useful in reflecting light and heat from the sun.

If you want to scale down on height, then you need to Paint the upper portion using a deeper tone compared to the bottom portion. Making use of dark exterior house colours makes a home appear smaller yet more substantial. One of the safest approaches in placing colours is selecting two tints that are on the same colour strip, a few shades apart.
