Get Inspired by Your Environment
With the weather warming up, there’s no better time to get outside in the neighborhood. Look at the colors of your neighbors’ properties to determine how your home will seamlessly flow or stand out.
A home surrounded by Grand Oaks and Spanish moss may look cozy with a deep near-black shade while a home on the water may look dreamy with a warm, sand tone.
You can even observe the landscape and draw inspiration from natural elements such as trees, plants, and stone.
Reflect Your Home’s Interiors
Taking inspiration from your neighborhood can help make sure your home is aspirational and doesn’t stand out like a sore thumb, but also take the opportunity to dive deep indoors.
Since your exterior is like the preface of your home, after all, creating a cohesive look with your interiors creates a “story” for your overall space. If cool greys dress your entire home, you may consider selecting a cool grey for your exterior.
You may also want to consider that the inside of your home will be visible from the outside in many places. Be sure to select colors with this in mind. They don’t need to perfectly match, but you should aim to create an exterior that compliments the interior.
Test Swatches
Testing paint swatches allows you to see how different colors really look on your home's exterior. It also allows you to see how they complement or clash with other elements such as roofing, landscaping, and fixtures.
By testing multiple paint colors side-by-side, you can compare and contrast them until you find the one that stands out as the best choice.
Pro Painter Tip: Look at the paint swatches at various times of the day to see if you like the tone in different lighting conditions.
