Siding Trim and Color Tips for an Eye-Catching Home Exterior

If you want your exterior to captivate onlookers or potential home buyers, you have to carefully select your siding and trim colors. Here are some tips on selecting the right combination of siding trim and color for a stunning exterior.

Choose Between Dark and Light Trim Colors

Trim is an essential element of your home’s siding that often gets overlooked. It frames your house, highlighting its architectural features and complementing the main siding color. When choosing trim for your siding, think of creating a contrast. A darker trim against a lighter siding gives a bold, defining look to edges, corners, windows and doors. Conversely, a lighter trim color can soften the overall appearance and give your home a more blended look with its surroundings.

Create a Harmonious Color Palette

Siding materials come in a variety of color options, enabling you to select hues that perfectly match your style and your neighborhood. When considering color, take into account the permanent elements of your home such as the roof, stonework and landscaping. The color should unify these elements, not clash with them. Choose classic, neutral colors for the main siding and reserve bold or accent colors for the trim to ensure timelessness.

Make a Statement With Accent Colors

Accents can be where your personality shines through. Consider using a pop of color on your front door or shutters to make a statement.

Play With Textures

Texture can add depth and interest to your home’s exterior. Siding options come in various textures, from smooth to rustic, providing an additional layer to your aesthetic. A professional can guide you to the right texture that complements your home’s style and the surrounding landscape.

Blend With Your Neighborhood’s Color Scheme

While expressing individuality is important, it’s also a must to consider the overall visual harmony in your neighborhood. This doesn’t mean your home can’t stand out, but it should do so in a manner that respects the existing community aesthetic.
