When constructing a new private house, each developer cares not only about the comfort, warmth and reliability of the future structure, but also about its beauty, because it plays a big role in the sale.
However, do not forget about the appearance of the house if you are building it for yourself; on the contrary, try to think through everything down to the smallest detail in order to create the ideal home. So you have to choose the color scheme of your house, which can be quite difficult, so in this article we will talk in detail about how to choose the color of the facade and roof.
Main mistakes and 'helpers' when choosing roof color
A beautiful house is the merit of the owner, because the attractiveness of the building depends on his preferences. However, not everyone can boast of good taste, imagination, and especially artistic education, which is why, when deciding to build a house, it is important to think through the project to the smallest detail, and only after that purchase all the necessary materials.
Before drawing up your design, you can walk through the private sector and pay attention to new houses that have already been built. From this walk you can get some ideas for yourself, as well as understand which houses you really don't like.
Most likely, they will have the following disadvantages:
Inconsistency of colors and style;
Incorrect combination of colors of the house facade and roof;
Violation of the unity of proportions of the house and the balance of its color.
All these errors vary in complexity: some of them can be corrected after the construction is completed, and some cannot be corrected at all, for example, the wrong color of the roof, because its complete replacement will cost a large sum of money, and painting will be impractical.
When choosing colors yourself, they will help you:
Ready-made design solutions;
Various color combination schemes and tables;
Design programs.
Combination of roof and landscape colors
Each developer thinks through the design for his own purposes. Someone wants to show off the high price and show off the beauty of their home, while others, on the contrary, want to hide their home from prying eyes. Despite the opposition of these desires, they all require one thing - a combination of roofing and landscape.
Also remember that the landscape around your home changes several times throughout the year, so take into account the season and prevailing weather.
A green roof will be combined with various vegetation around the house, for example, it will blend nicely with the trees growing around it, but this is where the main problem of green roofs arises: in winter, such a roof will be a bright spot among the snow and bare trees. Coniferous trees, which remain green all year round, will help you 'blur' this spot;
A house with a terracotta roof will look great against the backdrop of wooded slopes. They are also suitable for houses with burgundy roofs;
Blue and also turquoise roofs are built in mountainous areas. It is worth mentioning that together with it it is necessary to create a light facade of the house;
A gray roof is suitable for a humid climate, but coupled with cold colors of the house it brings boredom, so try to dilute it with warm colors of the facade;
A brown roof is recommended for use in areas with long autumn periods, as shades of brown go well with autumn foliage.
We should also talk about especially bright colors. For example, houses with a red roof will undoubtedly look great not only in warm weather, but also in golden autumn. However, she has a special drawback - excessive attractiveness. The bright colors and beautiful shapes of the house can attract the attention of not only ordinary passers-by, but also burglars, so in this case it will be necessary to install a reliable security system.
Such bright colors are also often used for extravagant projects that only a professional can handle, but a beginner will create complete disharmony and bad taste.
