Are you looking for a new project to take on in 2021 to spice-up your home? After working, sleeping, eating, and hanging out in your house during the pandemic, a little change can go a long way. One great place to start is the outside of your house! With a fresh coat of paint on the brick or siding of your home, you can make it stand out from the rest in the neighborhood and boost its curbside appeal. Read on to learn five exterior painting trends in 2021 to help get your project started.

1. Creative Two-Toned

Two-toned kitchen cabinets are incredibly popular, and now, homeowners are extending that trend to exterior painting. This trend is great for split-level homes with complimentary colors (ones that are located next to each other on the color wheel). It’s dynamic and will truly make your home standout among every other one in the neighborhood.

2. Clean Pewter

Pewter is an earth-tone that looks excellent with other earth tones, like natural or stained wood and black trim highlights. In 2021, this mysterious color that’s a cross between brown and gray is incredibly popular due to its versatility and ability to really make landscaping surrounding your house stand out.

3. Natural, Stained Wood Accents

Paint can truly transform a home, but if your house has some parts of wooden exterior, staining them can add a beautiful naturalness to it that paint simply can’t accomplish. There’s a trick to painting and staining exterior wood, though, so it’s best to have it done by professionals to ensure that you get the results you want!

4. White Trim with Black Main

Black and white are two classic colors that really compliment each other. If you have beautiful trees or landscaping that you want to pop, having black as your main exterior color and painting your trim white will do just that. The green foliage and colorful flowers will stand out and your newly painted home will have a more modern and clean feel to it.

5. Impressive Blue-Grey

The last exterior paint trend of 2021 is slate blue, or blue with gray undertones. It looks traditional and crisp and this color in particular comes in many different shades and varieties, so you can choose the one that best fits the image you have in mind. It’s a good idea to consider how it will look under different cloud coverage as well, so be sure to test out several shades before painting your home!

After spending practically all of 2020 in your home, it’s time to make a change. With a fresh coat of paint on the outside of your house, you’ll be able to pull up in your driveway and love the new sight!
