Whether you’re building a brand new home or you’re looking to give your property a fresh coat, choosing exterior house colours can be a daunting task. First impressions last after all and you want to ensure the colour scheme of your home’s exterior has excellent curb appeal.
When choosing paint colours for your exterior, consider a few factors. Will the garden driveway or path pavers affect the overall colour scheme? What features would you like to focus on from the front of your home? Are there dominant bricks or stone that you need to really work with?
Pastels
Pastels are growing in popularity when it comes to exterior paint, with the power to brighten any facade. Light yellows and oranges can create a Tuscan feel while mint and pale blue bring beach shack vibes.
Two-tone
Pick a paint colour you like and simply go a couple of steps lighter or darker on the swatch card to find your coordinating hue. This is especially useful when you’re deciding on the colours of your trim, window or front door and steps.
All white
An all-white exterior is fresh, simple and classic. To add texture, architectural lines should be included in your design.
Earth colours
Play off surrounding landscapes and textural elements of your home with a palette of earthy colours. Warm hues pair well with timber and stone features.
Accent colour
Use vibrant hues to add personality and accentuate architectural details like the front door, trims, and letterboxes. Primary colours are fun and work well with nearly every type of exterior.
