Colours bring harmony and peace to a home and its surroundings which is why there are very few homes with dark exteriors like black and purple. Exterior and interior colours of the walls set the mood for a home, and choosing the right tone is essential as it reflects the owner’s personality and taste. Every colour has a personality and style which also has the ability to bring happiness and peace to occupants of the house.

People usually use a mix of light and dark colors for exteriors to create the perfect look and also protect the house exteriors from environmental factors like sunlight, rain, hail and snow. While top quality exterior paints provide protection to a large extent, they are expensive which sometimes make house-owners reconsider their decision. To ensure that your home’s exterior paint is long lasting and aesthetically pleasing take the advice of an expert that can give the best suggestion. Here are some interesting color schemes that enhance the house structure and can be adopted to suit modern homes with similar layout.

Though green is the color of most plants and vegetation around us and signifies fertility, it is not a common tone for exteriors of houses. Built in country style with a raised floor the home embodies serenity and simplicity. Steps leading up to the front veranda are laid out in small circles and constructed with red limestone while small flowering plants along the border of the house give the house pretty countryside atmosphere.

Charming green windows and doors that open up in all four sides of the house, bring in sunshine and positive energy.  Terracotta tiles on the roof help to maintain cool temperature during summer and are especially suited for tropical areas. The pretty house has a wide patio around the front section which can be used as a sit-out by family members during hot summer afternoons.

Cheerful golden yellow

This pretty little yellow house built in traditional south Indian style has a grand entrance with golden colored gates to give a warm welcome to guests. Brown sandstone tiles form a wide walkway from gate to the steps leading up towards brown entrance door.

This has been symbolized in a beautiful manner by this attractive white Mexican farmhouse with green and yellow accents which is surrounded by greenery. Built on two levels to house a large family, the white building’s windows have been given attractive yellow accents while balcony awning and curtains are green.

Red limestone tiles lend color to wide patio and also pathway running around the building and also provide contrast to carved marble columns with white flower pots.

Red terracotta tiles on the roof give a rustic to front porch roof supported by thick stately pillars. The entire property is surrounded by white boundary wall for protection and has plenty of fruit bearing trees which maintain cool temperature during hot summers.
