This is a series we're calling Sweet Sixteen, where we find recognizable house styles and give them new life with the same 16 color schemes from our Exterior Color Palettes card to show you how to update your home and add your own personal touch.
Let's start with this common house style, a small Craftsman style bungalow. Also known as Arts and Crafts style,Craftsman style architecture has British roots but is still one of the enduring and popular styles in the U.S. since the late 1800's when they first came to exist.
Weighting the bottom of the house with a darker color adds a more formal feel...
... while painting the front door and door trim to match makes the entry more welcoming.
Low contrast between siding and trim feels calm and cohesive...
... while higher contrast draws attention to the architectural details.
Natural medium tones blend with the landscape...
...and bold colors make the landscape feel more vibrant and alive.
