Choosing exterior paint colors for your historic home

If you want to retain the timeless charm and allure of your historic home, you have to pick the right colors for its exteriors. When you are keeping historical colors in mind, you can decide on one of these options.

Original Colors

This is the most obvious choice for those concerned with historical shades. Your exteriors would be done in the colors that your home was originally painted with. You can discover what the original outside paint color of your home was in several different ways. You can have a professional analysis done, or you can also refer to historical colors charts. There are professionals available to help you navigate through these as well!

Historic colors inspired from another time period

You can use another historical era to inspire your color choices. If your home was built around the 1900s, you can research the shades that were in trend in the 1920s or 1950s for inspiration.

Modern colors

If you want to give a fresh take to your historic home’s appearance, you can consider painting it with contemporary colors that are trending today. Just make sure you work with an expert color consultant to pick the right color(s) that would complement your house’s historic architecture.

Remaining historically accurate with the color of your home’s exteriors can be a challenge. Save your time and efforts and hire a professional color consultant to make the exterior of your historic home exude elegance.
