Summer outdoor entertaining season is officially here! Ensure the atmosphere is just right for guests by creating eye-pleasing symmetry among your home’s exterior, landscaping and outdoor elements. And much of that eye-pleasing symmetry starts with a harmonious color palette.
One of the best (and easiest) ways to ensure your home’s exterior and outdoor color scheme is working together? Buy a color wheel at an art supply or home improvement store to effortlessly reference color cohesion before getting started on any projects (however big or small).
Your siding can be the true focal point of your home’s exterior, and ultimately all landscaping and additional outdoor elements should complement its aesthetic.
Here are the top four tips and tricks to ensure your home’s exterior and outdoor elements complement each other so your place is the star of entertaining this summer.
Pro Tip: Beyond paint color, ensure outdoor elements like a shed or fence match the overall aesthetic and quality of your home’s exterior so there’s seamless cohesion on your property.
With these tips, you’re well on your way to becoming the star of outdoor entertaining this summer. Best part? Creating color cohesion on your property doesn’t have to be an expensive endeavor, giving you curb appeal on a budget—but your guests don’t need to know that!
