Your home's exterior might have been the feature that first encouraged you to book in a viewing, or even put in an offer. Yet so often, when it comes to decorating, it can be neglected in favour of the interiors. And that's a shame. Because good house exterior colour ideas can be totally transformational.
Just as you can transform a room with paint and panelling, furniture and fabrics, a property's facades will benefit hugely from a new colour scheme, characterful cladding or a rethink of details like guttering, window frames and front door ideas.
Granted, an exterior makeover can be expensive. Checkatrade estimates that the cost to paint a house lies anywhere between £3,000 and £6,000. Factor in cladding in tiles or a material like zinc, and you can expect to spend a lot more.
