Choosing a color scheme for your home’s exterior can be tricky, especially if you’ve never done so before and are hoping to improve your home’s curb appeal. At Castle Painting, our painting contractors are dedicated to your ensuring your satisfaction with each and every paint job. Our remodeling contractors can help you select the right paint and provide stylish ideas that will flatter your Atlanta, GA, home.

5 Tips From Our Exterior Painting Contractors

1. Focus on Architecture

Our painters can help you choose an appropriate shade based on your home’s style. Older homes may look better when they’re done in lighter colors, while modern homes often offer more flexibility when choosing a scheme.

2. Test Out Colors

Paint chips just aren’t reliable when the task at hand is so monumental—this isn’t a project you want to perform more than once! Take the time to properly test colors you like by applying small patches to a wall in your home. Take stock of how the colors look in different lights and at different times of day.

3. Consider Effects

Is your house on the small side? A dark color can make it appear even smaller, while a lighter shade may help open it up. If your home tends to blend into a backdrop of trees or is overwhelmed by a dramatic landscape, you might choose a color that contrasts to help your home stand out a bit.

4. Work With Existing Elements

What color are the shingles on your rooftop? How about the hardware on your door and the gravel or pavement on your driveway? These elements are unlikely to change unless you’re working with our remodeling contractors on a larger renovation project. Otherwise, use these colors as your starting point to choose paints that complement the overall look.

5. Choose Multiple Colors

Our painting contractors can really transform your home, especially if you choose multiple shades. Try a dominant color, an accent shade, and a trim color to bring it all together. The key is to choose shades that complement each other well. We can help you find an accent color that’s bright, but not overwhelming, and we can suggest flattering shades that will put your home in the best light.
