We’ve all been there. The exterior of our house needs paint and we need to pick a new shade to suit the look. We want to be different and modern but we also realise that the wrong colour can become an eyesore that we won’t be able to hide! So how do we choose the best paint colour for the exterior coat of our homes? Let’s take a look at some of the best choices…

Our top picks…

Light Grey

Shades of grey can add a wonderful calming and modern tone to the exterior of your home. This trendy shade is often used in bigger estates and lends a contemporary flair to the architecture of a modern home.

Khaki Green

This is a great tone to reflect the beauty of nature and bring some greenery to an otherwise man-made structure. Green is also synonymous with growth, nature and fertility – and can be a wonderfully refreshing colour to enhance the look of your home – inside and out!

Off-White

Keep it simple and streamlined with shades of white for a calming exterior paint job. White is timeless and will keep the exterior of your home looking and feeling fresher for longer.

Blues

Moving out of the more neutral shades like grey and white, lighter blues can also be a connection to nature and a reflection of the sky. Blue also has calming effects that can set the tone at home. In fact, most shades of blue create a tranquil atmosphere. Blue-grey tones are also more neutral and will add interest without overwhelming the senses.
