The Best Colors for Painting Your House This Summer

Painting your house can make it feel like it was remodeled without all the work. When picking a color, you want to make sure you have accent pieces to match. For example, if you are painting the exterior of your house, you want your flower beds to compliment your siding. Check out some of our favorite colors for the summer down below. Plus, we have it categorized by space!

Exterior

If your home is starting to look weathered, a fresh coat of paint can help liven it up. This summer, we are loving light colors for your home’s exterior. One of our favorite colors is light gray. This is a neutral color, so you can pair it with lots of bright flowers. You can also add a pop of color to your door, bringing the whole look together.

Kitchen


When it comes to painting your kitchen, we love painted cabinets. It makes the whole space look like it has been completely renovated. A bold blue is a classic, yet vibrant choice. This is perfect to pair with any color appliance. You can add accents of gold and white for an elegant look.


Bedroom


For a natural color palette, we love a sage green. We love this color for bedrooms because it matches lots of colors. For example, you can have green walls with a white bedspread and colorful throw pillows. For fun decor, you can use plants (whether they are real or fake may depend on your plant-parenting abilities).

Bathroom

Bathrooms are the perfect place for a sleek color palette. This is a room that you always want to look clean, especially if it is frequented by guests. A deep slate gray is a perfect choice. You can accent the room with whites and golds (or silver, if that matches your style better).

Living Room

The living room is a great spot to add one of your favorite colors to the color scheme. We love using two contrasting colors, like turquoise paired with yellow accents. This is a space to showcase your personality, so pick something that represents you best.

Painting your home is a great way to refresh for the summer. If you want a lasting paint job, it is a great idea to contact a local painter. By doing so, you are ensuring quality, and you get to save yourself from some extra work.
