At Shaker Painting, we love to see customers shake up their spaces with vibrant colors. In celebration of International Color Day, we’re highlighting some of our favorite accent colors our clients have used to revitalize their properties.
With 25 years of experience in the paint contracting industry, we’ve seen our fair share of monotone multifamily buildings and HOA communities, where every structure is painted the same boring beige. These uniform buildings not only lack curb appeal, but they’re overwhelming to look at, with no differentiation to break up their size and design. While we believe it’s important the paint on your building blends in with your neighborhood and surrounding environment, you also want your property to stand out.
Using a variety of colors, especially accent colors that create contrast, is key to achieving a balanced and visually appealing look. Accent colors can draw attention to the architectural and decorative features you want to highlight like trim, shutters, and entry ways, while diverting attention from less appealing elements, like trash enclosures and gutters. Additionally, accent colors work to complement your base color palette, helping to complete the overall look.
More than anything, a building with a beautiful paint job and complimentary accent colors boost curb appeal. Making your building or community more attractive to potential renters and buyers. After all, who wouldn’t want to live in the most eye-catching property on the block?
If you’re interested in accent colors but unsure where to start, we’re here to help! We can connect you with a Behr or Sherwin Williams paint specialist to help select the perfect colors to maximize your curb appeal. If you have a favorite color you want to use but can’t seem to find in store or online, we can help you replicate it. We can even provide renderings to visualize your properties transformation before you commit to any colors. Let Shaker Painting elevate your curb appeal!
