Choosing the right roof and siding color combinations is crucial to creating a cohesive look for your home. However, with so many color options available, it can be challenging to determine what combinations work best together. Here are some tips to help you choose the right roof and siding color combinations for your home.
Architecture
Acknowledging the architectural style of your home is the first step all homeowners should consider before diving into color options. The color scheme you choose should complement the style of your home in order to enhance curbside appeal.
Neighborhood
Your home should stand out, but it should also blend in with the surrounding neighborhood. A helpful way to understand what color combinations you like on houses is to take a stroll through your neighborhood. Seeing which colors you like and dislike will allow homeowners to get a better idea of which color scheme will work best for their home. Furthermore, if most of the houses in your area have a neutral color scheme, you may want to stick to a similar palette.
Climate
Your location’s climate can influence the color combinations you choose for your roof and siding. For example, if you live in a hot climate, you may want to choose lighter colors reflecting the sun’s heat to keep your home cooler. On the other hand, if you live in a cooler climate, darker colors may help absorb the sun’s heat and keep your home warmer.
