People shouldn’t be able to be told what color to paint their house. More people should experiment with wild colors inside and out.
I had to get a new roof and siding due to hail damage. I got a blue metal roof with white trim and sage green vinyl siding. I took a bit of a risk and depending on how cloudy it is the blue roof reflects too much blue and the too colors start clashing instead of complimenting. But most importantly it's not boring! Also it'll look really good as the vinyl starts fading
Are people told what color to paint their house? By whom?
HOAs essentially have rules for everything and force you to have your house conform to whatever standards were established when your house was built.
In the US, many municipalities cannot “afford” to expand municipal services to new developments, so instead said developments will establish an HOA that handles basic municipal needs (ex: trash, water, electricity, paving) along with other niceties like landscaping. The idea is that you are paying as a group to fund things in the neighborhood (but you of course still pay property tax to the city/county/state).
Haha, America strikes again for basic failures
And usually with an HOA all you're funding is people who will fine you for letting your grass grow too tall.
The land of the free hahaha
Cant even paint your house however you want lmao
Don't tell Santorini that.
Greece would look great with the Norwegian house colors imho.
Perhaps the two areas should recolour as one another for the next Halloween season. It would make for quite the postcard.
i see they are pressured into painting colors that are similar to neighborhood houses, to "maintain some arbitrary value.
Sounds like someone has butted heads with an HOA or enforcement of some other covenant on look and feel.
Some people apparently have unseemly feelings about everything fitting to a certain design plan.
At the other end of the scale, there's painting your house neon yellow. A house is not a tennis ball. It should not cause road accidents.
Thanks, here's the mock-up of my new place:
Modern and cozy at the same time!
In a suburb about half an hours drive from me theres a pink house, like an almost barbie-pink. Its eye-catching, i love it for them. I bet theres a real character in that household!
