7 Exterior House Paint Ideas For a Striking Home Design

1. Blend in with Nature with Earthy Exterior House Paint Colours

Warm exterior house paint colours are inviting and promise a welcoming interior. The colours are very neutral and complement the natural elements that surround it. Dry earthy colours like dull sepia or a pale brown, or rich earth colours, like a sage green or chocolate, will all look great. A clay red is a wonderful house paint colour for homes that are nestled in a lot of greenery as the house will blend into the earth and plants, giving it a very organic, natural feel.

When picking colours for home outside, choose high-quality paint so that it will stand the test of time and has a good finish.

3. A Textured House Exterior can Look Amazing

The latest trends in exterior painting are textured walls. You can opt for brick wall texture, pebbling, cracked paint texture, marbling, fabric finish, and stripes, to name a few. This can add another depth to the look of your house. A pebbled blue exterior with navy blue trim will look great on a beachside cottage. A classy marble or fabric finish in cream with deep chocolate trim makes a house look elegant.When choosing house colours for outside, pick colours that complement your style.
 

5. Exterior Paint Combinations with Warm Whites and Creams

Traditionally, Indian homes were whitewashed, which means a bright white paint was applied on the exterior as a way to spruce up the house and conceal damage. These days, white is still popular, but not the bright kind. Restful, serene off whites and creams feel more inviting and warmer than a glaring bright white.

Warm whites are also great for exterior paint combinations as they go with almost anything. They can be teamed with subtle colours like soft greens and cool blues for a sleek trim or a bolder statement can be made by contrasting it with sunny yellows or deep rusts for doors and windows.

6. Pick Unusual Exterior Wall Paint Colours and Make Heads Turn

People have become much more adventurous when it comes to exterior painting and are picking surprising and unusual exterior house colours to make their home look gorgeous and stand out. For instance, darker, and more saturated hues like charcoal, deep green and even black are being used on exterior walls in very effective ways.

One of the reasons that darker shades have become popular is because they are very flattering to greenery and woodwork.

7. Pick a Focal Point for Exterior Paint Colours

Sometimes, picking a statement feature of the house, like a door, or a wall as the focal point can help set a theme for the exterior painting. For instance, a large door in navy blue can be the focal point and the walls can be painted in a complementing colour like a softer shade of blue or a contrasting colour like cream. Or, you can pick a statement wall or a jali wall that is in red and use a complementing earthy colour on the walls to highlight the jalli panel.

When choosing house painting colours outside, deal with any kind of outside damage to woodwork right then. If it is not attended to the paintwork may not last long.
