Paint Changes Home's Points Im addition to protecting and beautifying the outside of your home, paint can change its ap- parent dimensions, helping you emphasize its good points and minimize its bad points. It all depends on the colors you se- leet and how you use them. Everyone wants his home to look large from the outside, but not all of us can afford such a structure. It's easy, though, to make it look bigger than it is if you paint it white or a bright color. This is because bright, light colors reflect more light and many things look larger than they are. A chimney that is out of pro- portion to the rest of the house -- either too large or too small -- will be less noticeable if it is painted the same color as the roof. If the chimney forms part of one of the walls, that portion of it should be painted the same color as the siding. A roof which looks too: high for the building can be lowered by painting it a dark color; this will seem to bring it closer to the observer. Do the opposite to correct a low roof line that makes the house look squatty. Paint the roof white or a color lighter than the body of the house. This will make the roof seem to be further away, thus appear higher. In many older houses, win- dows may be assymetrically placed or be poorly proportion- ed, giving the structure a patch- work appearance. To correct such a situation, remove any shutters from poorly placed FOR YOUR GARDEN windows and paint the trim and sash the same color as the body of the house.
