The color of the facade of the house in 2018: tips, ideas and photos

Here are some general tips for choosing a color for the facade of a house before proceeding to a review of popular shades and combinations of colors of the facade and roof:

1. If you want to paint your house in an unusual color that you love, but do not know what to combine it with, then just select a shade that will be a few tones lighter or darker than the main one on the color wheel. And to make such a simple decision unforgettable, paint the front door in some bright and contrasting color, as in the next photo.

2. In the facade of your house there are natural materials that do not need painting? Then know that if they have a cold texture (concrete, slate etc.), then it is better to combine them with the bright colors of the facades, and vice versa. So, concrete today combines with the orange walls of the house outside, and warm wood and stone - with elegant gray facades.

3. The monochrome color of the facade can be much more interesting if you emphasize its individual parts with white or other suitable color. Thin pediments, window frames and other small items can become a very expressive decoration of your house from the outside.

4. Contrast (in relation to the walls of the facade) shades are ideal for painting the socle, visor above the porch, bay windows and other projecting parts of the facade. Just make sure they have interesting shapes that are worth emphasizing.

5. Surprisingly, bright and bold colors are best for unremarkable or even repellent facades, because distract our attention from details of poor quality and design. At the same time, if your house has beautiful bas-reliefs or other attractive elements, then the color of the facade should be gentle or neutral.

6. If your house is made of stone, wood or other unpainted material and you are looking for a color for painting the roof and other exterior elements, then try to find it in the material of the facade. It can be brownish-green spots on the stone, or a dark shade of "knots" in the wood. Nature - the best master in the formulation of stylish color combinations.

7. After you have decided on the color of the facade, try painting a large enough piece of plasterboard, plywood or paper in it. Attach this sample to the outside of your house and move away to assess how it looks. Any tone can look gorgeous on someone else's photo, but in reality it does not harmonize with the environment of your house. Superfluous check never hurts! By its results, it may well turn out that you need to dilute the paint with a lighter or darker tone.
