Whether your home was already built upon purchase or was designed and constructed to your preferences, you’re probably thinking about how you can change its exterior appearance. There are different ways to approach it, but it’s important to work with trusted remodelers who can help you envision what you want for your renovation. They’ll typically suggest a few design concepts and color schemes that work with most home styles with digital mock-ups of your home’s exterior. This is to give you an idea of how you can match and contrast the siding and trimming of your doors and windows.
A tried-and-tested way of enhancing the visual appeal of almost any type of home is by painting it in matching colors. The doors and windows don’t necessarily need to have the same colors as the siding, but they must be painted in colors that complement each other. Matching colors also help draw out the key design elements of your home that are exceptional in their style.
There aren’t any rules as to which type of colors you want for your exteriors, but many color schemes can be considered as guidance. When painting the window trim, for instance, the sashes and shutters usually have the darkest parts of the exterior color scheme. This is to make the windows “recede” into the façade of your home. They’re also typically painted in a neutral color that can also be used in your main entry door and/or porch steps.
Of course, you’re not just limited to matching colors for your home’s exterior. You can also mix and match different materials and styles that help enhance its curb appeal. For instance, if you only have plain vinyl or fiberglass siding installed, consider door and window trims that are exceptional in design. But if your home’s exterior already has features made from building materials like cedar, stone or brick, you can focus on a simpler door and window trim. This is to ensure that the focus remains on those building materials.
