Porch Makeover Ideas
Summer is in full swing and will stay with us for a little longer. It’s the perfect time for barbecues and small social distancing gatherings. While spending a lot of time on your porch, you might find that the space needs some TLC. Don’t be embarrassed by peeling or flaking paint or an outdated color. Right now is the perfect time to give your porch a makeover.
Porch Paint Color Inspirations
Think of your porch more as an extension of your home. You might want to continue some color themes you are using inside for your porch. Basically, your porch is the ultimate “outside room.” Before getting started with your porch color selection, consider how much sun it gets, since light and time of day affect paint color appearance.
Neutral colors tend to be a favorite when it comes to selecting the right shade for a porch. Cool Nimbus Gray 2131-50 siding, paired with monochromatic gray floors in Normandy 2129-40, ARBORCOAT® Exterior Stain, Semi-Solid give your porch timeless look. Lighter porch colors could also help keep the inside of your home cooler during the hot summer months. Other porch paint colors you might love include Georgian Brick HC-50, Hawthorne Yellow HC-4 and Kennebunkport Green HC-123.
Don’t forget about your porch ceiling. Very popular is a light blue color not only in the southern United States. You can achieve this look with Palladian Blue HC-144, Arctic Blue 2050-60, Yarmouth Blue HC-150, or Clear Skies 2054-70. Pair these light blues with White Diamond OC-61, a cool white trim, to draw eyes to the ceiling, and explore other whites in our Off White Collection.
Have you taken a closer look at your porch floor lately? If your porch floor needs a new coat of paint, consider Floor & Patio, a quick-drying, easy-to-apply latex enamel ideal for lanais, porches–even concrete patios. When it comes to porch floor paint colors 74 Platinum Gray and 71 Deck Gray, are two great options. Are these colors too dark for your taste? Floor & Patio can also be tinted in any one of Benjamin Moore’s 3,500 colors, engineered with Gennex® Color Technology.
