The Best House Paint Colors for Hilton Head Homes

Posted on April 15, 2019

Hilton Head homes are beautiful. Of course, we’re partial since we work and live here. But really, we think they are the prettiest houses in the country. One of the reasons they are so lovely is because they are painted in the nicest colors. If you’re thinking of painting your house (the exterior or interior) of it, consider the following color choices to make your house look its best for yourself, renters, and buyers if you’re thinking of selling.

 

Colors for Making Small Spaces Look Bigger

It’s easy to make small rooms look much bigger. Paint them a light color, such as:

  • White
  • Cream
  • Pastels
  • Cool Colors (with a tinge of blue or green)

The reason these colors make spaces look bigger is because they reflect light. The light reflection is what causes the visual expansion of the space.

The same goes for the ceilings. White ceilings make them look higher while dark colors make the space look really small.

When to Use Warm Colors

Browns, reds, and other warm colors are perfect for creating a sense of intimacy. They are good for bedrooms, dining rooms, and living rooms.

Blues, Greys, and Greens

Peacefulness comes from these colors. It’s perfect for a Hilton Head home since many people come to the area to relax. They are also the best colors for a beach themed home.

Complement with Furniture

Take a look at your furniture and choose colors that will complement it. If your furniture is brown, you know you should probably offset the darkness with lighter colors. If the furniture is white or grey, you can either complement it with a light color or more of a bold one. Bold doesn’t mean dark – it means bright.
