Characteristics of a Farmhouse Style Home
Farmhouse style homes are known for their coziness, simplicity, and tradition. Typically, farmhouse exterior paint colors include natural colors, often neutrals, such as white, beige and even black. Bright, bold colors can be used in a modern twist for farmhouse paint colors. Though the design, intended to mimic early farm homes, has been around since the 1990s, it took off after being highlighted on popular home improvement shows.
How to Choose Colors for a Farmhouse Style Home
When selecting farmhouse colors, think beyond a singular color. A palette of three colors helps create a cohesive look and adds interest. To start, we recommend choosing three farmhouse exterior paint colors. First, select a main exterior color for the bulk of the home. Then, choose an accent color for details and a trim color to finish the look.
