Revive Your Home’s Exterior with Classic

16 May Revive Your Home’s Exterior with Classic

If your home’s exterior looks drab and needs a paint refresh, these classic color combinations will carry it through the years elegantly.

1. Classic White with Black Trim

It’s timeless. It’s clean. You can’t go wrong with this perennially favorite combination. White exteriors with black window trims or shutters are forever a classic combination that’s as elegant as it gets.

2. Moody Blues

Blue is a classic color that is increasingly popular for paint, indoors and out. Slate blue is the color equivalent of a tailored suit—it’s sharp, elegant, and softly dramatic. Pair it with crisp white trim; you’ve got a showstopper. Not ready to commit to blue siding? Use it on your doors and window trims instead of siding.

3. Earthy Greens

Soft sage, olive, and mossy greens are having a moment, although not often seen in traditional houses. They harmonize beautifully with their natural surroundings and are frequently used for modern homes or traditional houses nestled within woods or forests.

4. Warm Neutrals

Beige is forever – just like white. Think taupe, greige (yep, that’s gray + beige), and warm whites. They do well with brick, stone, and wood accents on homes of any style.

5. Charcoal & Black

Feeling bold? Go all in on deep charcoal or black for a modern, edgy vibe. Add wood accents for warmth, and you have the coolest house on the block. As exterior colors, they tend to look best on single-story homes or used as accent colors mixed in with stone and wood exteriors.

Pro Tip:

Before you commit to an exterior color, test your top picks in different lighting and sides of your house. Colors can look totally different in the morning sun vs. the late afternoon shade.
