Read on and know what color pallete is appropriate for your Candlewood Lake home.

  1. Go for historical accuracy

If the property that you are painting is an antique home, it is best to use a historically accurate color scheme.  To do this, you can hire a professional to analyze old paint chips and recreate the original color. Another option is to refer to a historic color chart and choose shades that might have been used at the time your home was built.

  1. Consider other waterfront homes in Candlewood Lake

When painting your home, it will be very helpful if you will consider similar homes in your neighborhood. You don’t have to copy your neighbor’s house color. Stick with colors that make your home stand out, without clashing with nearby buildings.

  1. Check the roof

When choosing the right hues for your home, keep in mind that your property is not a blank canvas. There are some colors that are already established. To be safe, you should also consider the color of your roof. While your paint color doesn’t need to match the roof, you should work on making sure that the colors harmonize with each other.

  1. Consider the visual effect you want to achieve

Analyze your home’s relationship to the street and the landscape. Check if it sits back from the road or if it is amid a cluster of large towering trees. You can make your home stand out by choosing a slightly lighter or brighter shade. On the contrary, using darker colors can make your home appear to recede.

  1. Consider your property’s architectural style and era

If you want your home to stand out from the rest of Candlewood waterfront homes, remember to keep your paint scheme appropriate to the style of your property. Most paint manufacturer offer collections of historically accurate colors. They can be a springboard for your palette. You don’t have to strictly follow historical guidelines unless codes for your home and neighborhood specify otherwise. Just don’t stray too far from them to achieve the most pleasing effect.

  1. Take advantage of technology

There are online tools today that allow you to choose an initial color for your home. Then it suggests matching or coordinating colors and helps your experiment with different combinations on images of a home exterior. This way, you can already imagine the finished look.

Choosing paint colors is a big and often expensive decision. With these tips, you can be sure that you are selecting the right palette for your home. With the right color combination, you will soon find the right buyer for your home. Visit https://www.CandlewoodLakeCTRealEstate.com today for more home maintenance and selling tips and ideas.
