Exterior Home Painting Tips
It is considered to be 2 schools of thought when it comes to choosing the best exterior home painting color. This M & A Painting Company blog post will go in-depth into what they are, and which road to take.
To continue, one is your own your home and the land beneath it, which gives you the right to pick any exterior paint you want, and neighbors are neglected, as they have no legal right to decree what you can and cannot do with your home.
The second school is you don’t live on an island, so you need to respect your neighbors when choosing an exterior paint color. After all, would you want to live next to a hot pink house for the next few years? When it comes to color choices, consider paring them against the existing schemes of other houses in your area, this does not mean that you have to exactly match your next-door neighbor’s, just be aware of any unspoken community standards before you invest in paint.
The exterior color schemes are usually more conservative than the interior color schemes. Some go as far as to coordinate their exteriors with their interiors, however, this is more down to personal preference. Just make sure that the transition from exterior to interior color is not too garish, so the exact color scheme doesn’t have to match. Think about what color your guests will see when they first enter your home, to get a better idea of an exterior hue so it does not clash.
Unlike interior paint, exterior paint is not really known for its subtle differences when it comes to tone and warmth. Basically, you can choose between white and not-so-white, tan, brown, pale green, or some other muted primary color. You can forget about the likes of ecru and sandstone and eggshell, and think more about using a subtle tint that hints of a lighter green or yellow or blue.
