If you’ve been looking for a way to change your home’s exterior without having to completely move to another property, then keep reading.
We know how important a home is to many people. Having a dwelling that keeps you and your family safe and secure and that is comfortable and great to be at, is important. Especially today, with COVID-19 shutdowns and more people practicing social distancing. We’re finding ourselves spending more time at the home’s we’ve been living in all these years.
Perhaps for you, this additional time at your home has allowed you to realize that you’re unhappy with some of it’s outdated features. Maybe you never noticed the issue with your front door or windows no longer closing properly, but now that it has your attention and you’re ready to make some upgrades you will appreciate, here are some options you’ll want to consider.
Choose the Right Color & Style for Your Home’s Doors & Windows
If you’re wanting to keep within standard guidelines, there are some styles and colors that work well with certain house types. For example, if you have a mid-century ranch, or a Victorian style home, then you will be looking at different styles and colors to really freshen up and make the home look restored to its original beauty.
Most Victorian’s use a mix of double hung, arched, and bay windows while mid-century ranch homes have a giant picture window as their main focus and standard casement windows that may slide up and down.
Depending on the current color scheme of your home (siding and roof color) you could choose door and window trim options that coordinate or compliment them. Most times you’ll be choosing between a monochromatic or neutral color scheme. If most of your home has white, grey or tan features, you’ll likely stay within those ranges and maybe put a pop of color on the door. Oftentimes homeowners will also maintain the same shade range of a color around their home’s exterior for a soft and easy on the eye look.
