The world of custom homes is not totally different from the world of high fashion. If you want to be fashionable, you’ll need to keep a pulse on the latest and greatest trends. Unfortunately, custom homes aren’t like models. It would be rather difficult for a 4,000 square foot home to sashay down the runway the same way a model would. The next best thing to stay up-to-date on the hottest trends? Meet with highly-qualified Indianapolis custom home builders that can show examples of their work and the best color choices available for painting a home.

- 1980s – Creative expression from Flamingo Pink, Caribbean Blue, and Nancy Reagan Red.
- 1990s – “Techie” colors including Seattle Gray, Muted Blue, and Pale Green.
- 2000 to 2015 -Just as fashion, design, and other creative things, color trends tend to make a comeback. Since 2000 we’ve seen a mix of all of these trends since the 1950s.
