Step No.1

COMBINATIONS: LESS IS MORE

It's important to remember that too many colours can end up looking too cluttered. It's best to keep things simple and choose one or maybe two exterior colours for your home. You can also explore different shades of the same colour if you think things are looking a bit monotonous.

CHOICE OF COLOURS

When it comes to choosing colours, you should ideally explore many options. Look for inspiration and references, as you try to narrow down on what colours you like, and then work out combinations for those. Avoid black and dark colours that gather dust easily.

Step No.3

FACTOR IN LIGHT

The colour and shade you choose on the shade-card could end up looking very different when applied on the exterior of your home, depending on the quality and type of light that falls on it. It's best to sample a few colours and shades on the wall, to get a better idea of how it's going to end up looking.

SURROUNDINGS MATTER

The location of your home and what's around it should be considered while choosing your exterior home colours. While you want your house to stand out, make sure you choose the colours in such a way that it goes with the mood and climate of your surroundings and backdrop.

Step No.5

THINK BEYOND JUST PAINTS

The exterior of your home can really come alive with some furnishings, artefacts and plants, rather than just the door and windows. Choose the material and lighting properly, so that it all goes well with your exterior colours. Also, choose a good colour combination for trims and accent colours.

Step No.6

DURABILITY

Maintaining the exterior paint of your home is equally important. While choosing the paints, irrespective of colour, make sure you choose durable and low-maintenance paints. Typically, 'satin' and 'eggshell' paints offer great durability and are easier to clean. They also give a nice finish to your colours.
