A complete exterior replacement is an exciting opportunity to create a bold and unique look that can help your home stand out in your neighborhood. Dior Construction discusses striking siding color schemes for American Craftsman homes in this blog post.
Popular Color Schemes
American Craftsman homes are typically characterized by their low-pitched roof lines, deep overhangs, and exposed rafters. Many homeowners, often on the advice of residential roofing contractors, choose the following colors that will help match the architectural features of this style of home:
- Neutral Colors. White, beige, and gray are just some of the timeless neutral colors that will never go out of style. These colors work well with the natural elements of a Craftsman home and can give it an elegant look. If you’re looking for something more eye-catching but still subtle, consider choosing two shades of the same color to add contrast.
- Bright Colors. You can also consider choosing bright colors like red, orange, or yellow for your Craftsman home exterior. These vibrant colors can bring energy and life to the exterior. Just be sure to choose one bright color as an accent; going overboard with it will make your home an eyesore.
- Pastels. Pastel colors are worth considering if you’re not a fan of bright colors. They can add a soft, mellow touch to your Craftsman home’s exterior. For instance, soft shades of pink and blue are perfect for creating a peaceful atmosphere. You can also choose light grays or whites as the main color with pastels as accents for a much softer appearance.
Choosing a Striking Color Scheme
Choosing the right colors for your home exterior can be daunting. Here are some tips to help you make a perfect choice:
- Research popular color combinations. Researching popular color combinations can help you get an idea of what looks best for your home’s style. When discussing your plans with a siding and roofing installation company, you can look at pictures of other Craftsman homes they previously worked on so you can take note of the color palettes used. This will also give you a better understanding of which combinations appeal the most to you.
- Pay attention to local trends. Pay attention to local trends in color schemes. Color trends can change almost every year, so it’s important to stay up-to-date on what’s popular.
- Consult a professional. Finally, you can consult a professional before making your final decision. Apart from helping you choose the right siding color scheme, they can also provide helpful advice on which materials are ideal for your climate and budget.
