5 Timeless Paint Colours for Your Cottage’s Exterior
The key to the coziest, most relaxing cottage retreat lies not only in how many books or board games you keep stocked, but also in how much attention you give to upkeep—and that includes choosing the right paint colour.
Get inspired by these five timeless paint colours for an inviting cottage that says, Welcome to summer.
1. White
A timeless choice that exudes simplicity and elegance, white reflects sunlight, making your cottage appear brighter. It complements any architectural style and landscape.
Try: Benjamin Moore Steam AF-15
2. Peach
Peach is a soft, warm colour with a gentle, welcoming glow. It creates a friendly and inviting atmosphere and blends well with natural surroundings and greenery.
Try: Behr Porcelain Peach PPU4-11
3. Blue
Whether you go for a strong navy or a softer shade, blue evokes a sense of tranquillity and peace. It’s a timeless option for a cottage by the water or in a serene countryside setting.
4. Sage
This earthy, muted colour blends harmoniously with the nature around it. We love it for its refined, understated charm.
Try: Benjamin Moore Ivy Lane 523
5. Brick Red
Add warmth and character to your cottage exterior with a rich brick red. It’s a striking contrast to natural landscapes and other architectural elements, such as mouldings and trims.
