The end of 2017 is soooo close, 10 sleeps close to be precise... so it's time to start looking to the new year and what trends will be flooding our screens and pages. 

For our first trend report of 2018 let's talk about exteriors! The exterior of your home is just as important as the interior, however it sometimes gets forgotten about, neglected or just left until last, and it's time that changed.

The exterior of your home is the first thing people see when they visit you, it's the first thing you see when you arrive home and it gives everyone an idea of what they can find inside... So whether it's cute and quaint, modern and bold or minimalist and refined, it's time to bring your exterior into 2018 and the easiest way to do that, is with paint!

MONOCHROME - keep it traditional with white and add a touch of modernity by adding black accents.

SOFT NEUTRALS - always a classic choice, and one that will stand the test of time. 

GO BOLD - darker hues will be huge in 2018. We love this look, try it by choosing a dark charcoal as your main colour and lighten the overall look by adding a contrasting colour, such as white.  

BEACHY - pale grey is always a winner and it's not going anywhere! Pair it with white for a relaxed coastal feel.

TRADITIONAL - white on white will always hail supreme. Adding a coloured door will add your own personal touch.

NATURAL ELEMENTS - add a natural material against your paint for contrast and wow factor.
