No design experience required—this is built for homeowners as much as it is for professionals.
What You Can Expect Inside the Masterclass
- Start with the fixed elements (roof, stone/brick, windows) so your palette makes sense
- Avoid the most common “expensive-looking mistake”: the wrong white (especially outside)
- Choose exterior colours by undertone, not by guessing or trends
- Create the right contrast and balance for trim and garage doors
- Select a front door colour that looks intentional (not random)
- Make smart decisions about shutters (when they help and when they hurt)
- Improve curb appeal with landscaping + hardscaping that supports the colour palette
- Test exterior colour properly so you don’t end up repainting
What’s Unique About Maria’s Approach
Exterior colour has to relate to fixed elements you can’t ignore!
- Undertones matter more outside (and exterior light often washes colour out)
- The “right” colour isn’t universal—it’s the colour that fits your house and your materials
- When you follow the correct order of operations, your exterior looks timeless—even as trends shift
Trends come and go. Exteriors change slowly—and repainting a whole house is not a casual weekend project. This masterclass is built around the principles that stay true:
- A homeowner choosing exterior colours for a repaint, refresh, or new build
- Working with a builder and need to make smarter choices from limited options
- Trying to coordinate colour with roof, stone/brick, or windows
- Attracted to the black/white exterior trend but want to avoid the “stark and dated” version
- Overwhelmed by online inspiration and ready for a clear process
This is for you if you are:
who this masterclass if for
Most exterior mistakes happen because people choose colour in the wrong order—or chase an inspiration photo that doesn’t relate to their fixed elements
This masterclass fixes that !
