Have you ever stared at a sea of paint swatches and felt completely lost? Choosing the perfect color for your home can be a daunting task. But what if the stars could hold the key to unlocking your ideal palette?
Believe it or not, astrology can offer some surprising insights into your design preferences. Each zodiac sign is associated with specific personality traits, and these traits can be reflected in the colors that resonate with you. So, whether you’re a fiery Aries seeking a bold curb appeal or a grounded Taurus seeking a timeless look, the cosmos might have the perfect hue in store for you.
Let the stars be your guide as you unlock the perfect color palette for your Long Island home’s exterior!
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Just like the crackling flames they represent, Fire signs are bursting with energy, passion, and an undeniable zest for life. Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius crave excitement and aren’t afraid to make a statement. Their ideal color palette reflects this boldness, featuring warm and vibrant hues like red, orange, and yellow.
Here are some color options that resonate with Fire signs:
- Red: A classic choice for Fire signs, a rich red can make a powerful statement. Imagine bold dark red siding such as Melrose or Autumn Red from CertainTeed or a stately red brick masonry such as Hartford brick from El Dorado around the outside of your home. Red pairs beautifully with black or white accents, like a black front door or white trim.
- Orange: A touch of orange adds a burst of sunshine and optimism. Consider a warm burnt orange door for a Spanish-style home or a citrusy orange like Navel (SW6887) from Sherwin Williams for a mid-century modern vibe. Orange pairs well with brown or cream accents.
- Yellow: Yellow exudes warmth and cheerfulness. A buttery yellow door similar to Forsythia or Daisy with matching window shutters can create a welcoming facade, while a golden yellow adds a touch of sophistication. Yellow pairs beautifully with white or gray accents.
While Fire signs can rock bold colors, it’s important to consider the architectural style of your home and the surrounding neighborhood. Here at Unified Home Remodeling on Long Island, New York our experienced design consultants can help you find the perfect balance between expressing your fiery spirit and creating a cohesive exterior design.
Earth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Earth signs are known for their practicality, stability, and connection to nature. When it comes to their home exteriors, Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn gravitate towards colors that reflect these grounded qualities.
- Earthy Greens: Lush greens like sage, olive, or forest green create a sense of harmony with the natural world. They evoke feelings of peace and tranquility, making them perfect for Earth signs seeking a timeless and calming exterior. Imagine your home with Spruce, Forest, or Cyprus CertainTeed siding or calming olive green shutters.
- Warm Browns: Earthy browns offer a sense of warmth and stability. Consider a rich chocolate brown such as New Haven from El Dorado Stone or Weathered Wood from CertainTeed for a modern home or a lighter tan for a more contemporary vibe. Brown pairs beautifully with cream or white accents, like a cream-colored door or white trim.
- Calming Beiges: Beiges such as Napery or Dakota Wheat offer a neutral and sophisticated backdrop for any architectural style. Earth signs can appreciate the versatility of beige, allowing them to add pops of color through doors, shutters, or landscaping. A warm beige can create a welcoming facade, while a cool beige like the color Downy from Sherwin Williams adds a touch of modern elegance.
Earth signs don’t shy away from texture. Consider incorporating natural materials like stone or wood accents to further enhance the connection to nature. We suggest masonry materials from Eldorado Stone. Their European Ledge line has beiges, grays, and browns to accent any home exterior. Our experienced team can help you choose the perfect paint colors and materials to create a beautiful and harmonious exterior that reflects your grounded personality.
Air Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Air signs are known for their intellect, communication skills, and social nature. When it comes to their home exteriors, Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius tend to gravitate towards colors that reflect these airy and open qualities. Here are some popular choices:
- Light and Airy Blues: Light blues like sky blue or Oxford Blue from CertainTeed create a sense of openness and tranquility. They reflect the intellectual and communicative nature of Air signs and pair beautifully with white trim or gray accents.
- Whites & Grays: Grays offer a sophisticated and modern feel, perfect for Air signs who appreciate clean lines and a minimalist aesthetic. Consider cool gray shingles like Shasta White from Owens Corning for a contemporary vibe or warm gray siding like Castle Stone from CertainTeed’s Monogram line for a more inviting feel. White is a timeless and versatile color that creates a sense of spaciousness. It’s an excellent choice for Air signs who want their home to feel bright and airy.
- Sophisticated Purples: For a touch of drama and creativity, Water signs can explore sophisticated purples like lavender or plum. A light lavender creates a whimsical and inviting exterior, while a deeper plum like Mature Grape adds a touch of luxury. Both pair well with white or gray accents.
Air signs love natural light! When choosing an exterior color, consider how it will interact with the sunlight in your location. Need help finding the perfect balance between color and light? Let Unified give you a hand and create a stunning and inviting exterior for your Air sign abode.
Water Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Water signs are deeply connected to their emotions, intuition, and creativity. When it comes to their home exteriors, Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces crave colors that evoke feelings of peace, serenity, and depth.
- Cool and Calming Blues: From calming blues like seafoam green to dramatic navy hues, Water signs can find a shade that resonates with their emotional depths. The vinyl siding shade “Seagrass” from CertainTeed is a seafoam green that creates a tranquil coastal vibe, while Midnight Blue, an elegant navy blue color, evokes a sense of sophistication and mystery. In addition, pairing Owens Corning’s “Harbor Blue” shingles with white trim or pops of color like yellow or red for a touch of vibrancy.
- Serene Greens: Similar to blues, calming greens like sage or teal offer a sense of peace and tranquility. Imagine a charming cottage with sage green roofing in “Chateau Green” or a modern home with a touch of teal like the color “Aloe” on the shutters. These cool greens pair beautifully with white or cream accents.
Water signs are drawn to natural elements. Consider incorporating water features like a fountain or birdbath to further enhance their connection to their element. We can also help you create a beautiful and serene exterior with the River Rock line from El Dorado Stone that reflects your emotional and creative spirit.
The stars may not hold all the answers, but they can offer some fun inspiration when it comes to choosing the perfect exterior color for your Long Island home. Remember, these are just starting points! The most important thing is to choose a color that you love, and that reflects your unique personality.
