Exterior Paint Color Expert

Outside paint colors bring your home to life.

Your home’s exterior paint colors are a personal reflection of the people who live inside of it. What do they say about you and your family?

Working as an interior paint consultant as well as an exterior paint color expert, I’ve seen all different styles of homes: Tudors, Colonials, Ranches, Victorians to Contemporary homes, you name it. An important theme I try to relay to people I work with is that when choosing outside paint colors, it’s important to recognize and respect the architecture of your home. Give your home a fresh look with new colors accentuating the details or possibly the period when your home was built. Color should embellish and complement the style of your home, not compete against it or overplay it. Of course the goal is to create a color palette that you will love to come home to, and creating personalized color palettes is what Amy Wax’s work is all about!

Exterior paint colors lay the foundation for the palette of your property, so remember to complement them with outdoor furniture, design elements and plantings that create a cohesive environment. Whether your home is vintage, traditional or contemporary, choosing the right color palette is the first step in helping your home look its best. The right exterior paint colors can accentuate the architectural details, add true charm to your home and increase its value by adding curb appeal.

Partnering with an exterior paint color expert like Amy will give you additional insight into how color plays a role in a certain style’s look and feel.
