Craftsman-Style, Arts and Craft Colors

If your home was built during the early 1900's or if you are trying to replicate that time period, you most likely have a Bungelow or Craftsman Style home. What you did not know is that Craftsman and Bungelow homes and colors vary depending on where they were built. For example, the California Craftsman home will have different features than a Craftsman in

Tennessee. There were a mixtures of styles that were considered "acceptable" during that time period: Gothic half-timbering, front porches, mission-style, and a touch of victorian.

The period was known as "Arts and Craft." The colors used were typically warm and neutral with a touch of burnt reds and pail green.

Sherwin Williams Paint has done an incredible job helping painters and homeowners to narrow their color search by categorizing the style of home and the general colors used during that time period. To view a sampling of the Arts and Craft period for exterior homes, view Sherwin-Williams Site.
