Would you like to tackle some home projects in 2022? Perhaps you’re even ambitious enough to work on a big one like painting the outside of your house. Whether you’re getting ready to go on the market, or you plan on being in your house for many years to come, you need to choose the right colors. This decision can be difficult, but the perfect combo provides a beautiful sight for you, guests, and any passersby.
To make this choice easier, you should know about exterior paint trends for this year picked by popular designers. Keep reading to find out what’s in style now and what colors will give your home a fresh, sophisticated look!
Warm Neutrals
Year after year, some colors make a comeback and stay in favor, and warm neutrals are certainly some of them. Ranging from cozy off-white shades to a yellowy cream, these comfortable shades are appropriate inside or outside the house, and they pair well many other colors and create a clean, yet relaxed setting.
White
Along with creamy off-whites, true white paint is highly popular for exteriors this year, whether you choose to use it as the primary color or a highlight. You may be hesitant to go with true white, but this shade doesn’t have to be blinding. You can find more subtle and gentle shades that give you that striking classic look, which is perfect for a house exterior.
Darker Hues
Would you prefer something with a more dramatic flair? Black can feel too deep, but a darker shade of gray or gray-green may be the perfect balance. These moody colors aren’t excessively heavy, and they go perfectly with wood and stone, making them perfect for the exterior.
Natural Green Tones
If you’re like most people, nature can be soothing. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring some of that to your house? You don’t have to change your landscaping! Just paint your house green. Designers are in love with this color right now. Most green hues are trending, even non-natural ones, which means you have plenty of options for putting your unique stamp on your home. Green also is very versatile and complements many neutrals, giving your home a timeless look.
Why the Right Exterior Paint Matters
If you don’t plan on selling your home any time soon, you may be thinking that exterior paint isn’t that important. However, you still need to keep your home updated for resale later on. In addition, exterior paint isn’t just pretty, it also acts as a layer of protection from moisture. When you have paint in good condition, the house looks like it has been well cared for, helping you eventually bring in more potential buyers.
Even before you set foot inside, your house can give you a comfortable, welcoming feeling, and the outside paint plays a role in that. Knowing and choosing the right on-trend colors can make your home stand out from the rest on the block in the best way!
