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.

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.
Keep these tips in mind when you go about selecting the exterior paint colours for your home. Because your home is your identity, and the colours become a true reflection of you.
