A major factor that contributes to your home’s value is its curb appeal. This is what potential buyers first notice upon arrival and can draw them in to see the rest of the home or cause them to look elsewhere. A simple way to boost curb appeal is to hire a professional painter for exterior house painting. Try these tips for the biggest impact.

How to Use Paint to Approve Your Home’s Curb Appeal

1. Pop of Color

While white, gray, and slate remain popular house colors, you can also make your home pop with one of 2020’s trendy hues. They include desaturated yellow shades such as butter and mustard, blues ranging from navy to turquoise, light greens like sage and mint, and dark reds like brick or burgundy. If painting the whole house would be too bold of a statement, try adding color to your front door, or even the garage door.

2. Fresh Coat

The simplest way a painter can help is by repainting your siding. Over time, exposure to sun, rain, and dust can dull the color or make the surface peel, but a fresh coat will look smooth and vibrant. You can even take this opportunity to switch up your home’s color scheme to better suit its architecture and landscaping.

3. Contrast

Before you have your painter start on your home, plan a coordinated color scheme to apply to the shutters and trim. Pair a dark or bold color with lighter shades of the same color or with white. You can even add a second hue—for example, red shutters on a dark navy house. Stick to two or three colors to keep the house from looking too busy or uncoordinated.
