Black houses can be so beautiful

Black houses can be beautiful, but would you ever paint your house black?  Sure, we’ve all seen white houses with black shutters, but a black house with white trim, now that is a house exterior to behold as you will see.

THERE ARE REASONS NOT TO PAINT YOUR HOUSE BLACK:

  • The color black absorbs heat so it is definitely not a color for the southern states, but if living in say, Alaska, well it just might be an added bonus to have your house black to absorb the heat from the sun in winter.  

  • The color black shows every speck of imperfection, so upkeep could be time-consuming.

  • People associate the color black on a house with death, evil, and spooky.

These are good common sense arguments for why not to paint your house black.

Not just any house can be painted black.  It has to be a certain kind of structure, like a Victorian house painted black with lots of white trim.

Here is a look at black houses. See if you don’t think at least some of them are stunning.
