If your home has a simple or open facade, you may want to choose a secondary trim color that contrasts with your primary trim for a more colorful look. Shutters , doors, shakes and scallops can be used to add visual interest to your home's exterior. Since these elements are usually accents and do not play a prominent role in your home's overall exterior, you can be a little more experimental when choosing color. Consider using an accent color in a bold, rich shade to highlight these elements. Shakes can be used on the whole house or as an accessory to create textural depth.
Scallops add an old-fashioned, elegant feel that adds dimension and beauty to a home exterior.
Windows in specialty shapes can be grouped with more traditional window styles to create a dramatic focal point. Consider adding new windows at the same time you replace your siding, for minimum disruption of your home and lifestyle.
