At the beginning of a new year, some homeowners wonder about the colors industry experts and designers would choose for exterior paint, and the overwhelming paint trend for 2023 so far has been warm, off-whites. This underrated group of shades may seem boring at first glance, but its popularity actually makes quite a bit of sense! Here are four good reasons why you should follow this trend for painting your home’s exterior.
Timeless Favorite
Some trends come and go—what at one time is hot with designers can quickly fall out of favor. Fortunately, warm, off-white tones aren’t going anywhere. You can rely on this color sticking around for years because it keeps coming up with homeowners and designers alike. In other words, you can feel confident about your choice even years down the line.
Less Harsh Than Purer Whites
When you first step outside from being indoors or in the car, the sun can be blinding on its own, but it can be especially unpleasant on the eyes as it reflects off true-white surfaces.
Although warm, off-white tones are still bright compared to other colors, they aren’t nearly as hard on your eyes as brighter whites. In other words, you can still have a light color on the outside of your home with a softer alternative that draws less negative attention to itself.
More Complementary to Natural Tones
Regardless of when your home was built or its style, chances are that your house will have some natural elements on it—be it brick, stone, wood, or something else. Plus, most homes have plants, trees, or other landscaping. With a few exceptions, warm off-white tends to go with more colors found in nature than gray or pure white. As a result, when you choose this option, your property can simultaneously stand out yet seamlessly belong in its surroundings.
Better Fit for More Styles
One of the most appealing features of all white tones, especially this off-white, is that it can work with nearly every possible design, age, and façade style for the exterior of a home. Do you have a brand-new, modern build? Warm off-white can give you a crisp, clean finish that reinforces this style. Do you have an older home with more classic style? Off-white is a timeless choice to highlight your home’s charm and character.
Not every trend from designers or homeowners is a good idea, but selecting off-white for the outside of your house may be one you can follow confidently. Start 2023 by painting your exterior and love coming home!
