With the start of the new year, many families are looking to spruce up their home’s exterior wall design with a fresh coat of paint. Whether you are looking to give your home a modern update or just need a change of pace, choosing the right exterior house colours can make all the difference. Here are some of the latest trends in exterior colour painting for 2023 that will help make your home stand out from all the rest.
High-Contrast Combinations
One trend that is picking up steam this year is high-contrast exterior house colour combinations. This involves pairing two colours together from a colour shade card that has extreme differences in hue and tone. For example, pairing a bright yellow with a deep navy blue can create an eye-catching effect that catches everyone’s attention as they pass by. This style works best when one colour is used for the trim and one for the base coat, making sure to maintain the same level of contrast throughout.
Historical Hues
Another trend gaining traction this year in exterior house colours is historical hues or classic colours which have been used traditionally throughout history. Think muted terracotta reds, creams and beiges, dark greens, and blues, as well as warm greys and browns. Using these timeless colours not only helps bring out traditional elements of your home’s architecture but also adds character and sophistication to its overall look. Use them sparingly on accents like window frames or doors to create an elegant design statement or go bold with large swaths used on main walls to make your house stand out from its neighbours down the block.
Muted Neutrals
Muted neutrals are having their moment this year as well! These are softer shades of white and grey which provide subtle contrast without being overbearing. They work best when combined with equally muted accent colours such as light blues or pale yellows. A combination of these colour shade card help brings out any details in your home’s architecture while still maintaining a sense of balance between all elements involved in the project. You can also use these neutrals on main walls as long as you pair them with brighter accents like vibrant reds or oranges for a truly unique look.
Choosing an exterior colour palette for your family home wall design should be done carefully taking into consideration both current trends and traditional hues which suit your personal taste best that way you won’t regret it later! High-contrast combinations are great for making an impression while muted neutrals provide more subtlety if desired. Mix and match at will until you find what works best for you! Whatever you do decide upon, remember that it’s always important to consult with professionals about any painting job before beginning so that nothing unexpected happens during the execution
