The façade is the calling card of our home and our tastes, and it announces and represents the style that can be found inside. Façade style includes several factors, but one of the most important is its colour. This can be a difficult decision, so depending on architectural style, size, and the environment you live in, there are different factors that guide us to choose the best option.

In this article, we have 10 suggestions that can serve as a basis for inspiration and give your home the  personality you've been looking for all along.

So what do you say? Would you like to take the tour with us?

1. Using wood

As we have already mentioned, the look of a facade involves the consideration of several elements. You can still keep to the natural look and feel without sacrificing on elegance or sophistication by incorporating wooden elements to your façade like we see here. The differentiating tones in the timber work wonders with a black and white trim.

2. Earth tones

Earth tones are among the most favoured when it comes to the façade, as they are very natural and complemented by the environment surrounding them. Earth tones make for a sober and elegant home. When this colour palette is chosen, it is best to play with various shades to create vigor.

3. Go bold

If you are looking for an explosion of energy on the front of your house, choosing a vibrant colour like this red is the best choice. Bold colours like this are applied in specific areas and are combined with other neutral and preferably natural wood coverings in order to balance the composition of the façade.

4. Popping pink

This Mexican pink colour could be a risky bet, but it will also give a very special stamp to your home. This colour pink has long been used by renowned Mexican architects, so much so that has been the hallmark of their works. Here, we see a muted tone combined with vegetation, making this façade less striking and more soft and subtle.

5. Boast with blue

Accent colours are perfect to break the monotony of the exterior, as we have already seen with the bold red façade. Vibrant colours such as this deep blue should be applied sparingly for that elegant and modern effect. The contrast of white and blue here conveys a sense of protection while holding true to the modern design scheme.

6. Classic white

Sure, white façades are nothing to brag about, and you may think they're too conventional and have no place in this list. Well, that's not the case! White can make any exterior look upscale, and if your house is small or looking for a minimalist style, then white is definitely the best choice. The façade will look clean, bright, and perhaps even broader. This classic is safe for both exterior and interior decoration.

7. Going green

Green façades are the underdogs of the design world, but just look at how beautiful and complementary this soft green looks next to all that vegetation. 

8. Living in yellow

The muted tones are perfect for homes that are in areas where there are several adjacent properties, but if that's not the case with your home, it's easy to break the harmony of the neighbourhood and go for something different. This yellow home has a distinctive touch and a lot of exaggeration, making it a good choice to stand out in this open field. 

9. Imposing grey

Within the range of neutral colours, grey is another great option. This colour is distinct and is also a safe bet to paint when you live in a strict zoning area. You can combine various shades of grey to create depth, as we can see in this design. Lighter walls and a darker door make access the focal point of this façade. Include a few plants and you'll add some exceptional life, as well.

10. Black and white

Last but not least, we're taking you back to one of the most classic colour combinations–black and white. This combination is elegant, simple, and timeless. It creates a refined contrast and is perfect for modern homes with clean, pure lines. With this combination, you can emphasize access, heights, and small details dramatically.
