Tips on Making a More Harmonious Home Exterior

Do you feel like parts of your home’s exterior are not meshing well together? It could be due to bad design from the get-go, or a recent exterior siding installation might have changed the overall dynamics of your home’s overall look. Fortunately, there are plenty of ways you can ask your trusted contractor to create harmony with your home exterior.

Mix and Match Colors

The most obvious aspect of a home’s exterior is its color palette. However, that doesn’t mean that you just have to splash everything with a single shade. A properly colored home has a palette that highlights features without sacrificing the overall harmony of the home. For example, a neutral gray-toned roof will go well with siding panels that have a lighter shade of gray or cream and a dash of earth tones on columns.

Proper Use of Lines

Some home designs favor tall vertical lines while others prefer the wide look of sweeping horizontal lines. Getting features that disrupt these lines is a sure way to ruin the harmony of your home’s exterior. Consult a reputable home improvement contractor like us to see which roofing or siding options would match your home’s current style.

Variations in Texture

You might think that varying textures in a home’s exterior are the exact opposite of creating a harmonious look. However, it’s possible to use different textures in a way that they perfectly complement each other. For example, clean, smooth-textured siding and large window panes can be accentuated with naturally textured columns and dynamic shingle or tile roofing.

Uniting the House and the Yard

Your home’s exterior will also lack harmony if the rest of the yard doesn’t mesh well with its overall look. You have two options here: changing the look of the home by calling for residential roofing services or having your siding replaced, or you can also ask professional landscapers to make changes to your yard that will accentuate the look of your home.
