painting is a dramatic and economicalway to update your home's exterior. providing the curb appeal that everyhome craves from top-to-bottom. the right colors and products can make all thedifference. so where do you start a well-designed exterior? typically has nomore than four colors in the palette. the main body color trim such as window trimand rails accents such as natural wood and decorative details and finally astatement color for the front door. in general understated neutral hues arealways a safe bet for the exterior since they don't compete with mother nature'spalette. to narrow down to the right colors for your home consider the roofcolor and any hardscape materials like
stone concrete and brick that won't bechanging in this case. my jumping off point was the new landscape stone inthis rich charcoal gray from here i built the exterior palette with coolgrays and classic black for the brick and trim which brings a contemporaryspin to this traditional century-old home. for the porch decking i stay trueto the palette and use black again but this time with arborcoat stain in asemi-transparent black this will protect the decking from the elements and allowthe natural texture of the wood to show through but for the porch ceiling here iwanted an accent so use the natural wood tone called leather saddle brown. thistone brings warmth and light to the
porch area which naturally has a coolernorthern exposure since it is a relatively small area compared to therest of your house. the front door can afford to make more of a color statement.here i used a bold red called dutch tulip from benjamin moore's or a grandentrance collection there is nothing like a strong door color to bringpunctuation personality and the perfect finishing touch to your exteriormakeover.
