HGTV's Jenny Marrs Shares A Stunning Color Palette For A Warm & Welcoming Exterior

Selecting an exterior house color is one of the most important decisions a homeowner will make. After all, the paint colors used on the outside of a home determine the first impression it makes on passersby. With this in mind, it is important to select shades that make your home feel inviting. "Fixer to Fabulous" star Jenny Marrs shared a few examples of how to pull this off in photos of a repainted home posted to the @daveandjennymarrs Instagram account. The images show how the property was transformed using cream-colored paint on the bricks. A gray shade that contrasts beautifully with the cream color was used on the shutters. These design elements came together to make the house look warm and welcoming.

Marrs also installed a rustic natural wood front door that ties all of these homey design elements together. If you are looking to upgrade the exterior of your home, you might want to consider using Marrs' transformation as inspiration to help paint the exterior of your home like a pro. Luckily, it should not be too difficult to recreate this look yourself by applying similar paint colors. This is a simple way to make your home look more welcoming without paying for a pricey remodel.

As you can see in the photos in the Instagram post, the home's exterior was originally covered with plain red brick that contributed to an outdated look. The new paint colors and front door upgrade made the exterior look more modern but still homey and welcoming. If you feel that this color palette would also complement your own home, feel free to snag similar paint shades to recreate the look.

The BEHR ULTRA paint in Vermont Cream resembles the brick paint color shown in the Instagram photos, so you may want to consider purchasing it from Home Depot for $34.98 per gallon. BEHR MARQUEE's Traditional Gray Satin paint color ($67.98 per gallon from Home Depot) can be used to make your shutters contrast with the Vermont Cream shade, just like the gray shutters in the images. If you like the rustic door Marrs selected, you might be interested in the Craftsman 2-Panel door ($808 from Home Depot) as an alternative.

The color palette Marrs used is only one of the many options you could select to liven up your home. Blue and blue-toned gray paint colors are also commonly used on exteriors to provide a calming effect that makes a house more welcoming to guests. The Element Guard™ Exterior Paint in the shade Solitude is a soothing blue-toned color you may want to incorporate on your home's exterior. It is priced at $68.99 per gallon on the Benjamin Moore website.
