Adding Color To Your Home

Choosing the right colors for your home can be tricky at first, but many homeowners are now seeing the benefits of adding color to the interior and exterior of their properties. Having the freedom to artistically express yourself within your home is an excellent opportunity to increase aesthetics and property value. Here are some factors to consider when adding color to your home.

Avoid Dark Colors

When selecting a primary color for the exterior of your home, it’s recommended to stay away from darker colors like black or blue. Dark colors result in a receding appearance for surfaces, essentially making your home look smaller. This is especially true for the lower sections of the house, where shadows are more prevalent. However, dark colors can be used for porches and railings to emphasize architectural details.

Align Colors With Your Environment

The layout of your home, the surrounding area, and the climate should be taken into consideration when adding color to exterior features. Homeowners generally choose three or four colors to create their exterior color palette. It’s essential to include hues of unchanging elements associated with your home, like roofing materials, to prepare your exterior color palette accurately. Residents of Florida should aim to use warm colors that keep interiors cool during the summer months.
