The start of a new year is an excellent time to refresh the top of your home with a new coat of paint. The sky is the limit when it comes to roof colours, however, there are only a handful of smart choices.
Intelligent roof colour choices can make your paint job last a lot longer, can make home life more comfortable and can even help the environment. A trending roof colour will also make your property more appealing so you can generate more interest. So what are the smartest and trendiest colours to choose for your home? Let’s take a peek.
Darker roof colours have always been popular. Charcoal and dark grey tones are especially popular because these colours can give your property a modern feel. These tones also blend well with just about any wall colour your property might be coated.
While darker tones can help hide roof imperfections, it isn’t the best selection for colder climates. In a warm city like Melbourne, it is usually best to steer clear of these darker hues because darker colours can absorb heat and will make your home interior a little bit too toasty during the scorching summer months.
If you love grey tones but want to keep your home interior cool during summer then it is best to focus on lighter grey tones. UV reflective grey rooftops are an especially good selection since these paints are specially developed to keep the roof cool despite the warm weather.
Moss green isn’t a colour that is spotted on roofs too often but it can be a good option if you want to create a property with a unique appearance. Moss green rooftops are expected to increase in popularity in 2025. This doesn’t come as too much of a surprise since green hues have been trending in home interiors for the past few years.
The earthy green will also blend well with natural materials like wood, and rock wall cladding, and can look fantastic if paired with a neutral wall colour.
Warm brown rooftop colours have always been popular and are still a good selection. The neutral colour tone blends well with most home exterior paint colours and isn’t as prone to staining or discolouring as lighter paint colours.
Warm brown will give your home a rustic and classic appearance and will create harmony with garden elements like greenery or natural stone features.
A lot of property owners will avoid white or extremely light roof colours because these light hues are very prone to staining and stains are pretty easy to spot. However, in a city like Melbourne where temperatures can skyrocket over 40 degrees, light or white
UV reflective colours can be an excellent option. This is an especially good selection for metal sheet rooftops since this roofing material is especially likely to become very warm.
White rooftops have been trending in commercial properties for a long time. It is high time for these hues to also trend in residential properties since it is considered an eco-friendly solution thanks to the cooling properties of these paints.
