Celebrate Florida with these Exterior Painting Schemes

Even though the heat of the summer can be beyond intense, and the rainy afternoons can put a damper on our days, there’s no doubt that Central Florida homeowners are proud of their state. And rightly so! Florida has a lot of exciting things to offer, like pristine beaches, mild winters, bustling cultural hubs and family-friendly theme parks. Why not wear that pride on your sleeve–or better yet, display it with your home?

The Orlando house painting experts at New Ceilings have partnered up with the color pros at Sherwin-Williams to bring you the best products for your home decor needs. Here are a few Florida-friendly painting schemes that are sure to show your state pride:

• A sunny day at the shore. Nothing represents Florida better than the warm golden hues of a day at the beach. Try using a sandy, buttery yellow as your main color, with white trim and brown accents. In no time, you’ll be reveling in the warmth of the beaches, no matter how far inland you may be. This look works great with brown roofing and with stone siding.

• A cool dip in the springs. Think about your last trip to one of the many natural springs around Florida, like Wekiva, Blue Springs, or Ginnie Springs. What colors come to mind? Without a doubt, you pictured the cool blue of the water and the verdant shades of the surrounding foliage. You can easily pull off these colors by selecting a lovely aqua as your main color and generously accenting the sides with a mossy green.

• A seaside dream. Especially if your homeowners’ association laws are more strict than others, a great way to add the perfect splash of color is by painting your front door. Keep most of your house neutral, using a sandy beige like Neutral Ground or Urban Putty, and decorate the front door (and maybe even the window trim, if you’re feeling adventurous) with a deep sea blue.

Even if you can’t adorn your entire home in the blues, greens, and yellows that reflect Florida’s natural beauty, you can use little splashes of color here and there to achieve a subtle, modern effect. Don’t forget to check your HSA’s painting guidelines before you select your palette.
