The Art Of Selecting House Colors
House Colors
Congratulations! You have finally bought your dream house, or have finally finished constructing it. Whatever the case may be, it is now time to give the house of your dreams your own personal touch. Like they say, the first impression is the last impression. Therefore, you must make sure that the look of your house says good things about you, because lets face it: your house is an extension of your personality.
If your house gives a good first impression, it is going to extend out to you, the owner. Hence, it is very important to choose the right colors for your home, whether it is on the inside or the outside. After all, a house is a pretty big investment, and you want to make sure that such a big purchase be handled properly and also should look its best!
Using Colors to Make an Impression

There are plenty of options you can go for while designing the look of your house. If you want, you can select separate colors for your trimmings and separate colors for the walls and roof. The window and door frames can be painted similarly to match the roof tiles, while the walls of the house can be painted in a neutral shade. This offsets the trimmings beautifully and gives your house a neat, yet inviting look.
The Exterior
Exterior Color
The house color you choose for the exterior of your walls should go well with the color of the roof and the trimmings. Generally, the tile colors on the roof dictate the house color, and vice versa. Brown roof tiles will look good with warmer colors on the walls while gray or black roof tiles look great with cool colors on the exterior surface of the walls.
External walls should also not be painted in vivid, bright colors. It is always a good option to go for pastels and neutral house colors, which do not look jarring when the sunshine radiates off. After all, you want a house that evokes good feelings, not nausea, don’t you?
The Interior
Interior Color - Pink Room
The colors you select to pain the interiors of your house may match with the color you have used to paint the exterior walls, but this generally is not the case.
Depending upon the room you are painting, the house colors can vary from room to room. In some cases, the owners prefer to use the same house paint for all the rooms, thus creating a similar look and giving the while house a single décor. However, many people prefer to decorate each room separately. Another good idea is to paint the different walls of the same room in different shades.
Feng Shui and House Colors
Bright Green
Grey is a color which can look good in a dentist’s office, but should be avoided as it tends to make a room look dull and even depressing. Yellow is considered appropriate for nurseries and children’s rooms. While canary yellow suits the more active areas of the house, one should go for a more subdued shade for the more ‘grown – up’ spaces.
Painting one wall of the bedroom red is considered good, since red is the colour of love and passion. Another good option is pink.
Go Wild!
Another option is to go for stenciled designs or something unique. Take one wall and use it as your very own personal canvas…go wild, paint your heart out. If it doesn’t look good, you can always paint over it. If it does look good, well, there’s your own personal touch!
