4, HOME & GARDEN
lt’s painting season

COLOR remains the
single largest motivator
for decorating and with
summer in bloom, now
is the perfect time to
create an exterior mas-
terpiece of color and
beauty for your home.

IC] Paints’ color design
consultant, Barbara
Richardson, offers sume
advice on exterior home
design and how to best com-
plement and balance the col-
ors of your home with the
flowers “and shrubbery ina
garden,

“Choose colors . you're
comfortable with,” suggests
Richardson, “Decide the end
result that you want and then
plan accordingly. Study your
home’s exterior features, as
well as literature to discover
the variety of color that
appeals to you as you create
the perfect exterior master-
piece for your own home.”

Richardson recommends
coordinating the color of out-
door flowers ard shrubs with
the color of the home, thus
creating .a- complete
thoughful color concept
_ Which swill enhance your
home’s, overall appearance.
For example, if the home has
light yellow or cream-colored
siding, select flowers in-shades
of white? cream, sof gold,
lavender cand purple. Or, if
there isa very dark stain, brick
or paint color on the body of
the home, use either darker

. something thar

and ©

shades in landscaping to blend
the home inte nature, or tse
whites and light greens to
frame the house.

The cator af the coat,
brick, stone and other pre-
determined colors also need
to be considered. Select a
color scheme which blends
and enhances these colors,
and study combinations to
see Which colors and groups
of colors will best show off
these natural textures. The
style, size, site and shape of
the home should be consid-
ered as well.

“Don't forget your neigh-
bors’ homes,” adds
Richardson. “Their colors
should be considered before
selecting your color scheme...
blends with
the trees which surround it...
light to medium should be
used next to dark colors ...
warm colors next to cool
tones.” ;

If your home is very large
and you want to create a
sophisticated color scheme
that blends with the: trees
which surround it, consider
colors that are medium to
dark tones. If the home is in a
warm climate, choose colors
that are lighter and reflect the
sun’s heat. Accessories also
add a great deal toa home.
Brass door plates, interesting
lamps to’ the sides of doors
and landscape lighting all play
an important role in a home’s
design. Adding decorative
chairs to porches and baskets
of ornamental flowers will
