Examples of Exterior Decorating for Inspiration
Now it’s time to sit back and appreciate Exterior Decorating.
Sometimes all it takes to make a great exterior is a splash of color. This exterior facade is flat with little architectural merit. By using bold color, the designer has created focal points to highlight the entrance and frame the garden taking your eye away from the large expanse of the flat mint green wall.
This is just amazing – wouldn’t it be great to see this as you walk past a large expanse of brick wall in the city. It creates interest and shows that the building owner has an appreciation for an extremely talented artist.
The use of tile on this exterior façade softens the look by adding color and texture. The tile has worn over time and the weathered patina adds a sense of a traditional old building standing the test of time.

The attention to detail in the exterior creates a classic traditional entrance. Black wrought iron fence leading up to a white plastered balustrade with a black handrail. The black and white checkered tiles lead you into the solid black door well which is balanced between to wrought iron lamps. A very well decorated exterior color scheme.
Its always great to see buildings decorated to a style, this building facade has Art Deco Influences and the color scheme chosen is a Miami Art Deco scheme which used bold pastel colors. The palms at the front consolidate the style.
I hope you have enjoyed looking at the exterior photos to give you some decorating inspiration. More great photos, ideas, and inspiration tomorrow.
