![]() ![]() So I decided to update my exterior masterclass with where the trend is today and how to handle it! Exterior Colour Selection Masterclass Update The next one was white with an existing orange brick waterline.ĭo you see the pattern here? Wow. It’s way too much.Īnd the worst part is, if it’s even possible, stark white is being done wrong, over and over and over again because it’s being slapped onto homes where that shade of white does NOT belong with way too many black accents which kill it again. The next one was white with a black garage door. The next one was white with black shutters. Last week I drove down a street filled with homes that were built in the 70’s.

And it seems like an easier look for the non-decorator to pull off then the grey trend which needed colour, but that detail often got missed.” What happened during the grey trend? It’s fresh and clean and I don’t even mind the black/white/cognac/pampas grass living rooms that I see everywhere with those two stained wood frame chairs everyone has as well, because it’s fresh and clean. Then some time passed and I watched the new trendy living rooms emerge all over social media and I thought: “Okay I get it, it was too soon to go back to beige because we just did that for 30 years before the grey trend.” When the black and white trend first came along 4-5 years ago these were my thoughts about it: Find out what it is and learn how to avoid it as the black and white trend continues to dominate our decisions.
