Considering Painting Your House White? You’ll Want to Read This First
There's no doubt that a fresh coat of paint can dramatically transform the look and feel of your home. White is an increasingly popular color choice for homeowners who crave a clean, minimalist aesthetic. If you're considering making the leap to a white exterior like Sherwin Williams Extra White, Painting by Bayshore has a few essential pointers you'll want to hear first.
The Drawbacks of Going All-White
White exteriors are timeless and exude elegance and modernity, but there are some considerations to keep in mind before diving in. Painting your entire exterior in a single hue like Extra White can lead to an absence of visual intrigue and depth.
Architectural elements that would usually stand out may appear subdued, causing your home to lose some of its unique character.
Enhancing Your Exterior with Complementary Colors
To preserve the appeal of your home, consider integrating accent colors that work well with white. If you're inclined toward greys, we have several suggestions that could make your home the talk of the neighborhood:
Repose Gray (SW 7015)
This is a soft, neutral gray with warm undertones that pairs beautifully with bright whites. It provides a subtle contrast that highlights architectural features without overwhelming the overall aesthetic.
Dorian Gray (SW 7017)
Slightly darker than Repose Gray, Dorian Gray offers a more pronounced contrast against a color like Extra White. It adds depth and sophistication to the exterior while maintaining a cohesive color scheme.
Passive (SW 7064)
If you're looking for a cooler gray option, Passive is a fantastic choice. Its undertones of blue and green can bring a serene and calming vibe to the exterior while still harmonizing with brighter white tones.
Gray Screen (SW 7071)
For a subtle yet distinct contrast, Gray Screen adds a touch of warmth and character to the exterior. This shade also pairs well with a white exterior paint job.
Balancing the primary and secondary colors can make or break the aesthetic outcome. With an eye for detail and high-quality materials, Painting by Bayshore aims to make your home not just beautiful, but extraordinary.
