Using the 2020 – 2021 Color Trends on Your Exterior
Just because a color is on-trend doesn’t mean your look will be trendy. Here are four timeless exterior color combinations for your home using some of today’s trending colors.
Naval is a classic navy blue that can be beautiful as a main, trim, or accent color. In a neutral scheme like the one shown here, the deep navy adds the contrast needed to keep this exterior scheme from fading into its surroundings.
Believe it or not, beige is swinging back into trend and is a popular choice for a home exterior. It is especially attractive combined with a brick in the same tones. Staying with the blue trend, I chose a deep blue with a big dollop of charcoal gray for the front door. This color complements the main color and blends with the roof.
Green is right at home in almost any setting. A soft vegetal green harmonizes with the tan and browns, producing an exterior scheme as soothing as a peaceful forest.
Neutrals are no longer the only colors that people are thinking about as the main color for their exterior. Statement colors such as a strong warm blue with light trim can change a house from one that blends into the neighborhood into a striking home that turns heads.
