Select facade color

The facade is the business card for the entire house. Therefore, choosing the right facade color is very important.

The best way to start a color scheme for a house is to determine the color of the roof. The choice will largely depend on what roofing material we will use - traditional tiles, bitumen materials, metal coating, etc. Knowing what color the roof will have, you can choose the color of the facade.

The color of your home

In architecture, color has more than just a decorative function. If chosen skillfully, it can hide many manufacturing defects. Naturally, the color of the facade should be in harmony with the color of the other elements of the building - the roof, windows, doors, window sills, gutters. Also, the color of the walls should be well suited to the environment around the house. For example, if most of the buildings in your area are decorated in yellow or light pastel colors, then a facade painted in bright, flashy paint will be inappropriate. Currently, the most popular are various shades of white, gray, beige and brown. These neutral colors "work" well in a variety of combinations. According to experts, it is best to use three colors in home decoration. A larger number of shades can make the building "spotty".

Also remember that color can optically change the shape of a building. If your house seems too low, a lighter upper part will make it appear larger. Windows that are too small will appear larger if painted white. In short, light colors can visually enlarge an object, while dark colors, therefore, make it smaller.

Dark colors are recommended for use in urban areas, i.e. where the facade quickly gets dirty. Various shades of gray are excellent at masking dust and dirt. However, today the market offers a wide range of self-cleaning facade paint that neutralizes the problem of dirty walls.

Choose facade color You can do this by visiting the websites of paint and plaster manufacturers. Often, these websites have easy-to-use programs that allow you to see online how a house will look in a particular color.

Remember that a color applied to a large area may look different from the same color applied to a small area. Keep this in mind when buying paint in a store where samples of the painted surface are on display for customers to see. If you are using paint whose color is determined by the pigment, then the solution should be prepared by the seller or a professional painter. This will help to avoid a situation where each subsequent container of paint will have a different shade. Automatic mixers provide the necessary precision in mixing the pigment with the base paint.
