Here’s How to Choose the Right Siding Color
If you’ve recently decided to replace your home’s siding, congratulations on your decision! Replacing your home’s siding will increase the value of your home while making it more energy-efficient and comfortable to live in. One of the most challenging decisions you’ll face when replacing the siding on your home is what color to go with. Color trends can change over the years, but good siding will still hold its color years down the line, which can make choosing a siding color tough.
At Budget Exteriors in Minneapolis, we work with Twin Cities area homeowners to help them choose the right exterior remodeling materials for their home, family, and neighborhood. Follow this advice to pick a siding color you’ll be happy with years from now.
The Important Role of Color
The right color can make or break the look of a home. We’ve all seen homes that stood out because the color of the siding didn’t quite fit the neighborhood or architectural style. But the right color can create character and elevate a home’s exterior appeal. There’s also a psychological factor to the colors we surround ourselves with in life.
Once you’ve chosen your home’s main siding color, you’ll still need to decide what color of trim will work best. That’s why it’s important to consider a number of factors when choosing your home’s siding color.
Consider Where You Live
Just because you love the idea of a siding color in theory doesn’t mean it’s the best choice for your home. Some colors don’t work well in certain regions, while others are much more common. At the same time, neighborhoods often have a dominant color pattern. While you may not choose the same color as all of your neighbors, you may also wish to consider how well your home will blend in. Homes that go against the grain too much can bring down the value of their neighbors’ homes.
Consider Your Architectural Style
Some homes can get away with colors that others can’t, while other architectural styles lend themselves to certain color patterns. These are some common architectural styles and colors that go well with them:
● Craftsman - look good in a combination of natural colors
● Contemporary - typically look better in neutral shades
● Ranch Style- one color with matching trim
● Victorian- colorful and quirky is fine
