What's new and exciting in exterior home colors?

We’ve all heard of curb appeal and know that first impressions matter, but how do we know what buyers are going to like? The exterior of a house should reflect its strengths and originality, while giving a peek as to what you’ll find inside. Trending exterior paint colors for 2022 aren’t about revolution; instead, they draw inspiration from historic color palettes and their natural surroundings. 


Finding the perfect color for the exterior of your home is very important, whether you are getting ready to sell or simply giving your home a face list. Color is one of the first things that you see before entering the home. There is no doubt that one of a kind tones have unique effects on our mood and perception, which is why it is important to carefully choose the color scheme of your house. 


Read on to learn what trends are hot for 2022!


Warm, Earthy Neutrals


Earthy browns and other warm neutrals are perfect for exteriors. Organic hues that mimic the color of clay, earth, or stone enable exteriors to blend seamlessly into the surrounding environment creating a more natural look. Consider earth tones, particularly if your home has other eco-friendly features.

Dusty Charcoal


Rich shades of charcoal are currently very trendy as well. Not only do they make great accent colors for doors and trim, but they look elegant when applied to the entire exterior. Paired with ivory white, charcoal really stands out. For older homes with classic shapes and styling, rich charcoals give an instant boost to the 21st century.

Warm Whites and Creams


Pure whites are so last century! In 2022, colors are starting to shift more towards subtle whites that sit softly on weathered exteriors. Try ivory, cream, or even beige whites accented with crisp white trim to modernize homes built in the early 1980s.

Vibrant Greens


Vibrant greens have been very popular already for 2022. These darker exterior shades are extremely flattering to gardens and greenery, and make your home feel like an organic, natural living space. Whichever shade of green you choose, remember that bold is ok here. 

Classic Navy


As a very popular exterior color in 2022, navy blue is perfect for both classic and modern-day facades and pairs well with a number of contrasting accents, such as rich yellow or herbal wooden textures. If you like to think outside of the box and have your home really stand out, navy may be a good choice for you.
