Suggested Tools & Supplies

Tip 1
When selecting a color, keep in mind your home's surroundings. Do you want your home to stand out, or blend in?
Tip 2
Consider the amount of light your home receives during the day. For very shady areas, you may want a lighter color to reflect more natural light, whereas very sunny areas can handle a darker shade.
