[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]If you’ve recently moved into a new home, you’d probably like to add some of your own personal touches to its look. You have numerous options: lawn ornaments, decorative mailboxes, potted plants…the options are plenty. However, if you want your home to truly stand out, there’s nothing quite like a new coat of paint. Choosing the color of your home is one of the most impactful esthetic decisions that you could make. The question is—how do you choose the right color? How do you choose a color that won’t clash with the neighborhood, but will make your Wheaton home stand out in a positive way? In this article, we’re going to answer these questions.
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”No Need to Rush” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]At first, you might be overwhelmed with the amount of choices you have in terms of styles and colors. Don’t worry, take your time, and do your research. Start looking at the most common colors and color combinations and build from there. A small variation here, a small change there, and you’ll soon have something that seems perfect. You will also want to take in a second or a third opinion, but make sure that you receive advice from someone with some practical experience, either in exterior painting, design, or art. Finally, you might fall into color selection paralysis. If this happens, your best option is to trust your instincts and make the decision right away (assuming you’ve already done your due diligence).[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Decide on Your Goals” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]In some cases, you may not actually want your home to stand out with its color scheme, or you’d like to find a way to blend into the neighborhood while adding a touch of originality. It’s important to decide on your goals so that you can decide which colors make the most sense. Do you want to blend into the neighborhood better, but your current paint scheme makes your home stand out? Your decision on which colors to use just got a lot easier.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Take a Look Around the Neighborhood” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]If you choose to blend in to the neighborhood while adding a touch of originality, it’s not a bad idea to take a walk around and check out the color schemes of other home exteriors. Are they more conservative in their coloration? Can you detect a strain of uniformity? All these factors can come into play when deciding on the right paint color.
[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Keep in Mind the Previous Coat of Paint” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]When repainting your home, you don’t necessarily have to cover the entire surface in a new coat of paint. You might have a color scheme in mind that takes advantage of the colors that are already painted on the home. For example, the doors, the window shutters, the columns, the porch, the roof, and the chimney all are likely to have a different color from your siding. In this case, you’ll want to figure out which colors should stay, and which colors have to go.[/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Speak with a Professional Wheaton Painting Company” use_theme_fonts=”yes” el_class=”post_inner_title”][vc_column_text]Finally, when painting the exterior of your home in Wheaton, you should speak to a professional exterior painting company for advice.
