Some Mistakes About Exterior Paint Colors

Concerned with home painting, the home interior and exterior must be treated differently, meaning the color schemes should not be just the same. Why? It is because the moods in there are different. For instance, when you are in the terrace, I don’t think you feel the same atmosphere compared to when you are in the living room. It is so natural and, so, not surprising if you just enjoy that. That is the reason for me to talk about exterior paint colors in this opportunity, because I know there has been too much information about interior paint colors all this time that you can get on the internet.

About painting home exterior, there are a host of paint color ideas that can be applied basically, though in reality you cannot just color your home exterior at random. You know, some people make mistakes because of painting their home exteriors at random.

A couple of things that make one make mistakes when painting some home exterior

In a broader sense, there are many other causes of paint color selecting mistakes besides ‘only’ choosing randomly. Here below are several things that cause such mistakes, such as:

1. Not considering what in the neighborhood

There are a lot of people who only focus on their own homes, i.e. how to make the homes look eye-catching. If their homes are in separate areas without any neighboring homes nearby, that is so acceptable. However, it is a different case if you have a house that is located in a populous area. Your neighbors’ homes have to be taken into account. You have to consider you home as a part of unity along with the rest of the neighboring homes. Look how the homes around yours are painted. Look at the exterior paint colors.

2. Imagining too far

Millions of people seem aware of the importance of being creative when dealing with exterior paint colors. That is why it is not surprising if a lot of homes now are hardly the same in how the exteriors look as each other. However, sometimes people just don’t realize that there are limits; suggesting when you can still continue and when you should stop.

Being to imaginative, usually manifested in the use of too many colors, is often makes the home exterior look tacky. And, to be sure, there will be too much money spent on it.

3. Applying accents in the wrong areas

Adding some accent, either inside or outside the house is normal and often necessary. Nevertheless, it shouldn’t be too much. You can still apply some additional exterior paint colors as long as you apply them not in the wrong areas, e.g. downspouts.

4. Not considering the living things in the landscape

What about the colorful flowers in the yard? Well, their presence may look trivial in this case. But, it is totally incorrect if you don’t consider it. All of them are parts of home exterior that have a say in setting up the exterior, especially when it comes to coloring.
