Exterior Colour Schemes

Exterior of your home plays a very important role in your life because it is the first impression that matters to the
visitors because it is what on basis of which they judge your personality. If you have got a very dull and
monotonous exterior of your house then visitors may develop an idea that you are also of a not so charming
personality so never let that happen. Basically, choose the correct colour for the exterior for your house.
Dark colours. A big NO. When it comes to deciding colour scheme for the exterior of your house then you have to
keep in mind one basic thing. Black may be your favourite colour but choosing it as the colour for the painting of
your exterior walls is a very bad idea and just never ever do that. Dark colours should not be applied to the
exterior of your house because it absorbs heat and dust will be very much visible on it thus making it a bad idea
to choose black for the exterior wall.

Bright colours may go- If you have a fun loving and an attractive personality you can opt bright colours such as
red, orange, yellow or green to paint a portion of the exterior walls of your house. This will act as an eye catcher
and this way you can make your home unique in your neighbourhood. But yes, do not paint the whole of your
house in that colour, when I say a portion, then only a portion of your exterior walls.
Classics are the best- You may select bright colours on a portion of your exterior walls but what look the classic
colours give, it is the best. When you keep the exterior walls of your house light painted then, not only it looks
classical but also it gives a very calm and peaceful look. This way you can also make your home look big in size.

Wood can enhance the look- Once you are done with the colour selection for the exterior walls of your house you
also can add the wood look at some place of the exterior of your house which will enhance the exterior looks of
your house. Wood, can also be a good choice, particularly when stained a medium to dark colour. In this
contemporary scheme, a rich grey provides a good bridge between the two hues.

Stick to one colour- Do not use various colours to colour your home, not more than 2! Because you are painting
your house’s exterior and not the nursery classroom. So choose wisely.
Use different shades of one colour- When you are painting your home keep in mind that to give a good effect
and difference in colour you use different shades of a same colour so that the difference in colours does not
mismatch with each other and your purpose of giving different shades is fulfilled.
