The new year is an opportunity to make a fresh start, and many homeowners want to know the colors designers recommend for exterior paint. So far in 2023, the predominant paint trend has been warm off-white. This grouping of shades may seem ordinary and uninspired at first glance, but when you really consider its traits, it makes perfect sense! Read on for four good reasons to follow this trend for painting the exterior of your home.
Off-White Is a Classic Choice
Although more exciting color trends come and go, others keep stick around. In other words, extreme colors designers deem trendy now can quickly fall out of favor and date your home. Fortunately, warm off-white tones keep coming back over the years. You don’t have to worry about your home looking outdated in a couple of years because homeowners and designers alike always circle back around. In other words, you likely won’t regret your decision even years down the road.
Off-White Is Not As Harsh As Pure Whites
Especially during summer, stepping outside from being indoors or in the car, you can become temporarily blinded by the sun. However, true-white surfaces can make this transition even worse as the sunlight reflects off them.
Warm, off-white tones may be brighter than a lot of other colors, but they are gentler on your eyes than brighter whites. Said another way, you can enjoy having a light color on your home’s exterior with less impact on your eyes in the bright summer sun.
Off-White Goes with More Natural Tones
Regardless of how old your home is or its style, most homes have some natural elements on it, like stone, wood, or the like. In addition, landscaping offers even more colors from nature. Other than flowers, pure white isn’t often found in nature, making warm off-white more common. In fact, more colors found in nature tend to work best with off-white than gray or pure white. In this way, your home can simultaneously stand out while still belonging in its surroundings.
Off-White Works with More Styles
All white tones, including off-white, are on the list of possible colors for almost any design, age, and façade style on the outside of a home. Whether you have a brand-new build or an older home with a traditional style, warm off-white can both give you a crisp, clean finish and shine light on your home’s character.
Just because designers or other homeowners like a particular color, you don’t have to jump on the bandwagon, but off-white for the exterior is one trend you can follow confidently. Start 2023 off with a decision you’ll continue to love and paint your home off-white!
