1 Paint the facade
The main problem with which many owners of houses with a wooden facade are facing - climate change.

Choosing a shade, focus on the style of the house and what surrounds it. For example, in a well-lit garden, full of greenery and bright colors, a strict dark facade will look quite well: saturated gray, green, blue. In the shadow garden, especially in the northern gloomy climate, on the contrary, it is worth trying to add lights and heat using bright and cheerful tones: yellow, red, green.
