Gorgeous house exteriors – classical and colourful
Elegant white, modern grey or a pop of colour? Here’s a collection of beautiful house exteriors to inspire you before the final decision.
Beautiful house colours to choose from
Choosing the house’s exterior colour makes a huge impact on the house’s appearance, and thus the decision is difficult for many. Still, the process can also be inspiring and rewarding: a well-chosen colour scheme makes your house look attractive and welcoming.
When selecting the colour, it’s essential to not only consider your personal taste but to make decisions based on the house’s surroundings and architecture. Also, remember to check the local planning authority for possible regulations.
Always trending: Grey exteriors
Grey is one of the most popular colours in house exteriors. It’s versatile, modern and organic, mimicking the colour of stone and allowing the exteriors to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. Grey can be found in warm or cool tones, depending on the undertones.
Dark grey facades
Bold and dramatic black exteriors are trending in contemporary homes. Also dark grey or almost black tones are getting attention, as they are a softer option for a modern look. Grey can be paired with multiple colours, but for example white details balance the colour scheme.
Elegant white house exterior
White is a neutral colour that has a timeless and classical appeal. It suits well houses with both classic and modern architecture and gives a sophisticated look. White exterior enhances other features of the house, such as unique architectural details, and allows them to stand out.
A white house with an accent colour
An accent colour adds some visual interest and complements the primary house colour. Creating a cohesive colour palette is essential here: find an accent colour that either adds contrast or makes a harmonious look where shades blend into one another.
A calming green house exterior
Green is your colour if you’re looking for a natural tone that works well with houses surrounded by nature. It’s relaxing and welcoming and looks beautiful especially in wooded areas. Green also comes in a wide range of shades from light and bright to deep and vibrant forest greens, so all you need to do is pick yours. Especially popular exterior colours right now are sage greens and intensive, dark shades.
A soft yellow facade
A house’s colour is also a way to show your personality and honour the age and heritage of your home. Peachy tone U128 matches this old wooden house perfectly and makes a warm and welcoming atmosphere. A soft yellow can be both a pop of colour in the neighbourhood or blend into its surroundings, especially in autumn colours.
