Just like we create first impressions when we walk in a room, your home will create a first impression when someone passes by or a guest pulls in your driveway. We blogged about Home Resolutions in the New Year recently, discussing the importance of putting your best face forward. Curb appeal can’t be overlooked! Whether you’re designing a new home or considering a “face lift” for your current home, it’s very important to select a color palette for the exterior that coordinates nicely with the architectural style and interior of your home, the surrounding homes and your own personal style.
Looking for inspiration? Or maybe you’ve fallen in love with a DH photo and are wondering how the color palette would look on YOUR home? You’ve come to the right place!
What if we said there’s a free online tool that allows you to select a home and try limitless color combinations? Sounds fun, right!
Better Homes and Gardens offers an interactive tool called Color your Home that will help you choose the best colors to create curb appeal.
Color your Home from Better Homes and Gardens
To get started, simply visit Color your Home and create a free Better Homes and Gardens account or log in to your existing account.
From there, you can dive right in to several options:
- Home Exteriors – Select a home exterior photo that is similar to your home
- Interior Rooms – Select from a vast array of interior rooms and design styles
- Upload a Photo – Upload a photo of your home. Note – Well-lit, uncluttered rooms are best.
…and now the fun begins!
Once you’ve selected a home, you can mix and match colors to your heart’s content.
Do you have a neutral palette home and are wondering what a pop of color on your door might do? …or maybe you’re considering a complete overhaul?
The options are endless. Just don’t blame DH if you find yourself glued to your computer for hours as you fine-tune your color palette!
Once you decide on colors you can save your work and even print directly from the site. Keep in mind – colors on monitors can vary.
