Freshen Up Your Home's Exterior: Fun Summer Painting Projects in New Jersey

A full exterior repaint can be fun and rewarding, but it’s not the only way to add a little fresh style to your New Jersey home. In fact, there are plenty of fun summertime painting projects that are a lot smaller in scale, but still have a HUGE impact on your curb appeal.

We’re talking creative, colorful touches.

How about a real-life example?

Take a look at this gorgeous, coastal NJ home we just painted. The field (body) color may be a timeless white, always popular and stylish, but the shutters are a much bolder statement piece. The contrast is striking and extremely trendy! In fact, bold blues and jewel tones are red-hot right now, and it’s not too hard to see why.

4 Ideas for Creatively Adding Color To Your Home

Now that you’re feeling inspired, let’s dig into these ideas a little more deeply.

1. Painting Trim

Your home’s trim plays a crucial role in defining its architectural features. And by giving your trim a fresh coat of paint, you can instantly enhance its curb appeal and make a positive first impression. If you’re looking to make an impact, we recommend picking vibrant colors that accentuate the overall exterior color scheme, leveraging bold contrasts or complementary color combinations that create a striking visual effect.

2. Reviving Shutters

We already shared a perfect example of this!

Shutters not only serve a functional purpose but also contribute to the charm and character of your home's exterior. Whether you prefer classic neutrals or bold pops of color, painting them can bring a whole new dimension to your style.

3. Paint Your Front Door

Since your front door is a natural focal point, it’s also an opportunity to make a statement. Painting your front door with a vibrant and inviting color can instantly elevate the curb appeal of your home. With that in mind, we recommend considering bold hues like red, blue, or even a sunny yellow. Don't be afraid to step outside the traditional color palette and let your personality shine through.

4. Updating Your Exterior Accents

Sometimes it's the smallest details that can make the biggest impact on your home's exterior. Painting mailboxes, planters, fences, gates, and outdoor furniture can add charm and cohesiveness to your outdoor space. Get creative and have fun with it! Anything you paint can always be changed down the road if your taste changes.
