A favourite combination is a soft or bold grey with a beautiful vibrant accent. Grey has been trending for the last few years, from wall colours to furniture. This colour is a neutral tone that looks amazing paired with vibrant colours. If you want your home to stand out, try pairing it with yellow or red accents. If you’re not brave enough to paint your door a vibrant red or yellow, red accent chairs or a pop of bright yellow adds the perfect touch to a grey exterior and is sure to boost curb appeal. It’s subtle yet stands out. This also works with home exteriors that are tan or other neutral colours.

Sometimes all it takes is a great contrast and a pop of colour to make your home into a show-stopper.
