PAINTING STYLES FOR YOUR SOUTH CAROLINA HOME
Columbia, South Carolina is an area rich in visual diversity. The land where the uber green landscape and flourishing flower gardens sprout like weeds, South Carolina’s “look” opens its arms to new and old homes alike. Similar to most areas in the country that have their own unique style, Columbia homes blend contemporary architecture with historical homes and buildings to give it that up-to-date, classically modern fusion of southern charm meets new age.
Today, we’re going to talk about some of the most popular and most beloved exterior painting styles that you’ll see when strolling around this quaint city. Having experienced them all up and close, here are some of Carolina Painting & Pressure Cleaning’s favorites:
CLASSIC WHITE
Whether you’re a visitor or a born and bred South Carolina native, it’s highly unlikely that you’ll fail to notice the grandiose white homes that stand tall all throughout the state. With the exterior, pillars, and windowpanes all covered in a glistening white color, these homes brighten up the already colorful South Carolina landscape. Our painting company loves this painting style because it’s classic and because the bright white painting pairs nicely with green grasses and colorful flowers.
WHITE WITH A TWIST
A fun variation of the classic white style painting job, the white with a twist features a white exterior with a pop of color stemming from the doors, shutters, and the roof. While the options vary quite widely, a somewhat popular style is darker shutters on both sides of the windows which makes for a lovely, but stark, contrast. Another one of our favorite looks is the dark shutters paired with a matching door, a style that’s both sleek and classic and stands out at all hours of the day!
BRICK
Another classic South Carolina home look is a mostly brick exterior coupled with white pillars, doors, and shutters. The bricks give the home the old-timey look that never fails to stand out, and the white puts forth a touch of style that ties the whole look together. We like the brick look because of its versatile ability to style with any other color or look. Match the exterior with some bright landscaping and shrubbery for a more woodsy look or clean it up with some stones for a more polished, beachy look.
PASTEL
A pastel painting job is what makes the South…the South. You can’t miss the huge, historical homes colored with bright yellows and greens all over the state. The unique pastel colors are a signature style that fit in perfectly in our warm and colorful state. We especially love the pastel exterior painting work because of how simply, yet extraordinarily, the colors work with the landscape.
Of course, there are plenty of other South Carolina home painting looks that stand out within the state. These are just a few!
