CRAFTSMAN HOME COLORS: EXTERIOR IDEAS AND COLOR SCHEMES
Craftsman-style homes depend on the right color schemes to enhance their distinctive aesthetic and complement their signature features.
READ MOREThis past year, Rollex researched a few exciting color trends for home exteriors, from versatile classic colors to earthy, organic hues.
Home color trends usually align with the priorities homeowners have for their exterior: something that stands up to harsh storms or winter weather, but that also reflects the homeowner’s lifestyle.
To support those kinds of designs, Rollex offers a variety of color options for home exteriors, in both vinyl and steel siding material options. Combining different colors offers homeowners a lot of opportunities, and this season’s trends include a mix of hues: Stone, Cobblestone and Twilight.
Here are a few exterior designs that use these versatile colors successfully: Keep reading to see how they’ll inspire your next project.
This home’s successful use of mixed textures helps the exterior truly stand out. Cooler tones, like this Cobblestone in Rollex’s Horizon vinyl siding, add an elegant backdrop to details like the shaker shingles and window shutters.
The home’s exterior also uses a Stone color in the architectural details of the entryway columns and window shutters to elevate the home’s facade. Using lighter shades in the trim adds contrast and gives this home a distinctive look.
Homeowners can also add plenty of personal style by selecting more intense color choices on their exterior.
The rich Twilight grey used on this home’s window design and entryway detail complements warmer earthy tones in the brick. Featuring this darker grey with light gray trim, along with the Cobblestone siding, was an intentional (and attractive) decision: the variety adds depth and dimension to the exterior’s color palette.
This traditional two-story home is enhanced by thoughtful color choices, something every homeowner can handle. (Tip: If you need more inspiration, you can also look to your neighborhood’s overall style for ideas.)
Relying on contrast makes for a more interesting and colorful exterior.
The Twilight grey featured in the garage and window shutters on the home above could come across as boring, if paired with the wrong color. But when that grey is offset by clean white trim and beige, such as a Stone color, it creates a handsome foundation for other exterior details.
Darker shades of color add more contrast, making the lighter tones pop even more against the rich brown in the home’s brick. The color of the roof isn’t an afterthought, either: the soft black adds subtle contrast to the lighter beige below.
There are just as many exterior color options as there are design ideas, but if you want to guarantee you’ll have the home exterior you want, for as long as you want, work with a brand that delivers all of those solutions.
