How to Pick Authentic Colors For Your Historic Home

Do you want to faithfully represent the time period in which your historic home was built?

Do you want to paint your home in its original colors?

Our Ann Arbor exterior painting company recommends the following when trying to stay true to your historic homes’ identity:

1. Have a paint chip sampled at your local paint store! Paint stores can analyze the layers of paint for you to help determine the original color.
2. Do some online research to determine period appropriate colors! Most home styles like Cape Cod, Victorian, etc. used particular colors that you may be able to find with research.
3. Take a tour of local historic home in your area to draw inspiration! Many are preserved as museums.

If all else fails, choose a color scheme that best identifies with you! In the end, your home will be true to your personal style and needs. Your house will then actually feel like home!
