PRO T I P Have fun! No matter which color palette you decide is best for your home, remember that you can always use light fixtures, wreaths (I have one for every season and holiday), and landscaping to elevate your curb appeal.

Designing the perfect exterior color scheme is easy when you start with a plan. Senior Design Consultant Karen Ryan shows you how to bring it together in an eye-catching way.
DO: Have a plan. DON’T: Overthink it. The exterior of your home is important because it showcases your style before anyone steps through the front door. Developing the overall scheme can seem like a frightening task, but if you take a step back and start with a plan, you’ll come out with a well-deserved feeling of pride. To get ideas and see combinations that might appeal to you, drive though nearby communities that share the same style (Traditional, Farmhouse, Coastal, Victorian, etc.). Comparing alternatives on a large scale can help you narrow your choices and then visualize how it will all come together.
