In New England, we’re known for our white houses surrounded by white picket fences, but we can get quite colorful too. Get color inspiration from some of the new and historic houses below.
Historic Colors
New England’s historic house colors are unique and beautiful, and they’re not just for antiques. The second house pictured below is only ten years old, and a remodel joined it to the adjacent barn, painted classic red. Carrot orange, salmon pink, ochre yellow, and bottle green are other historic color choices.
Confident Color
Where is it written that house colors must be muted or neutral? Our hats are off to the homeowners whose houses below shine with personality.
Colorful Doors
If a bold, colorful house isn’t for you, maybe a door with personality is. The houses below have doors that stand out from the body of the house. Let your personal aesthetic guide your choice and give yourself permission to be creative.
Floral Color
Both of the houses below borrow from nearby blooms to add pizzaz. Depending on your taste, you can create any colorful combination you want by combining blooms and foliage with your house. Blend or contrast, the choice is yours!
