The first contact of any person who passes in front of the building, be it a visitor or a passerby, is the facade of the residence. It is she who prints the style and personality right outside the house. So deciding how the facade will look will require a good architectural design, as well as painting and house colors.
The study of the facade has several alternatives, from what you want to highlight to a composition of different colors and materials. One of the options that have an excellent cost-benefit for those who want to save and beautify the facade is the application of paint. But it takes dedication in choosing colors, after all, each tone conveys a feeling and values architecture differently.
How to choose the colors for the facade of the house?
There are three important points to be aware of when choosing colors: style, function and durability. Taking these characteristics into account, reaching a satisfied final result is much easier than going to a paint shop and checking the infinite shades of the showcases.
Style
When we started the design of a house, we soon defined its style, because that is what defines the taste of the residents. Stay with him in all the decisions you will make in terms of finishes and colors, this will help to define the best color that harmonizes with the project. To keep the look nice, look for shades that enhance the shapes and architecture of the house. Soon we can check how to apply the colors according to each style!
Occupation
Try to research what that color transmits to the facade. An example is painting the house red, this construction can refer to a commercial point. And if that is not the proposal, try to apply color in some architectural detail, be it a pillar, a volume that sticks out, a door and so on. Everything can be taken into account, as long as there is a meaning.
Durability
Everyone tries to keep the house beautiful, so maintenance must be done every 3 years due to the natural wear of the paint. Consider the specifications of each manufacturer, so that it is a high quality and specialized product for facades. Remember that this goes for any shade of color, be it the most intense ones that tend to lose the color intensity, or the lighter ones that look more like the accumulated dirt from rain, soil, stains and other wear.
