Red Interior
Orange Interior
  • Orange is considered a social color and can foster good conversation and company. It can represent fire or earth. Orange calls forth feelings of warmth and comfort, especially in the depths of winter.
Green Interior
  • Green is a color that focuses on health. It helps ground you in the natural world and brings calmness to your life and can represent wood. Consider layering green colors (similar to the varying leaves) to capture the outdoors in your space. A good base on your wall can be Green.
Blue Interior
  • Blue also brings calm. A lighter blue helps mimic the sky. It is beneficial in a home office or a nursery, maybe even as a ceiling paint. Paint shades such as blue provide opportunities for growth and progress when the world is limitless above you. Blue also represents wood.
White Colour
  • White serves as a balancing color. It can draw bridges from different elements, giving balance to space. A pure white paint also allows for introspection and refocus, striking a new balance internally and externally. You may also consider a white wallpaper with a soothing design that adds an extra layer of energy to the room. White can represent metal.

No Darker Exterior Painting Colour

Lighter Exterior Painting Colour

Dark exterior  painting colours can actually increase the internal heat of your home by at least 6%. They can draw so much heat to the outside that weatherboard timber can buckle and render can crack within no time at all. In saying this, a good quality exterior paint can reflect the sun’s rays to avoid this.

Consider Surrounding Environment

Environment

When we consider modern schemes from architects and designers, the home needs to suit the environment. A good way of checking this is by looking at your house from the other side of the street. The following five colours can be used in combination or individually to refresh the look of your home and ultimately enhance its curb appeal.
