Professional Painting Vancouver,BC: Quick Colour Tips when deciding to Paint Your House Exterior

always use a colour change that compliments the “given” colours on the house such as brick, roof or stone

paint window sashes a light colour. Light windows are sunny and convivial, whereas dark windows look smaller and tend to close up the house.

use light colours for overhead surfaces like soffits and porch ceilings. They lift the spirit of the house. Dark colours appear to loom overhead

warm colours make a house feel “homier” and provide a cozy appeal

use off-whites that are softer than pure white and shadow nicely, showing off curves and details. Whites that are stark and very white can appear harsh and glaring, giving the house a harder, less friendly look

use lighter colours to make a small house seem larger and darker colours to make an expansive house or one in tight quarters seem more compact

make sure the house’s colours make it look like it belongs in the neighborhood

tie in colours from landscaping, such as flowers, into the colour scheme. The trees, flowers, or shrubs may provide you with inspiration for your punch colour
