exterior home COLOR selection

Let’s be honest. Choosing exterior colors is the most stressful part of repainting your home.

You want your house to stand out.

But. You want your house to fit in. Who wants to be the weird house on the block?

No pressure! This is just one of the most public and expensive decisions you will make!

Take a deep breath. Colormoxie takes a trying task and makes it easy. Skip spending your weekends running to the paint store for more chips and testing yet another color on the house. Together we can save you time and create a color scheme that has you excited to get on the painter’s schedule. Then you can go to brunch instead of the paint store. And more importantly, sleep soundly the night before the painters come.

During your exterior consultation we will look at your house and consider the following:

• What are the neighboring house colors- we don’t want to clash or be too similar

• What colors look best with the stone or brick- or should those be painted, too?

• What colors go with the roof?

• Should the trim color be on the corner boards or not? Sometimes it looks crisp, sometimes it looks busy.

• Is there a fun, unexpected front door color you haven’t thought of?

• Should the porch or entry ceiling be trim or body color? Or maybe something fun and different?

• What are the best colors for the style and era of your house?

At the end of our appointment you will have in your hot little hands a folder that includes all the information you and your painter need, including best brand and line of paint, sheens, color locations and 8”x 8” swatches of each color. Easy peasy.
