Today’s design trends are embracing warmth and character, making Santa Clara Blend a perfect choice for homeowners and builders looking to create a statement roof with lasting appeal. While its sun kissed hues evoke the charm of traditional terracotta, this blend is far more than just an old-world roof. It seamlessly complements both classic and modern designs, proving that bold, earthy hues can thrive in contemporary spaces just as well as in Mediterranean-inspired homes.

Pair Santa Clara Blend with wood-paneled ceilings for a cozy, inviting ambiance, or contrast it with crisp white siding to create a fresh, modern aesthetic. Its depth and warmth also enhance multicolored pavers and stone pool decking, tying together exterior elements for a cohesive, high-end look. Whether you’re designing a classic retreat or a sleek, updated home, this blend offers the perfect balance of vibrancy and sophistication.

If a serene monochromatic space is your forte, this arrangement is for you. These shades will pair excellently with the roofscape and create a luxe, comely feel. Start by glossing the base of your home in a warm, peachy tan like Sherwin-Williams Sunbleached Ochre 9011 for a bright and inviting foundation. Next, add depth with a chocolate brown such as SW Baked Cookie 9098 by painting it on your trim, doorframes, fascia boards, and gutters. After that, decorate your shutters and garage doors in a darker mocha hue like SW French Roast 6069 to continue the brown theme. Lastly, brighten the overall look with an orangey cream tint such as SW Cachet Cream 6365 and coat it on your pool deck or patio flooring. You can even choose furniture cushions in this color to create a cohesive look.

Craft a lovely outdoor vibe with four colors from Sherwin-Williams’ 2025 Color Capsule of the Year! Begin by covering your structure’s exterior base in the light tan hue SW Malabar 9110 for a clean start. You can also choose pavers in this colorway to match the building. Next, gloss your shutters and lighting fixtures in the neutral-toned dark brown paint SW Clove 9605, which will add contrast and emphasize these items.

Time to add color! Incorporate a shade like the decadent gold paint, SW Bosc Pear 6390, by picking outdoor furniture cushions, umbrellas and flowerpots in this color. Lastly, add SW Mauve Finery 6282 to the look by choosing outdoor curtains and rugs that look similar to this soft hue. These two colorful but not over-the-top paints make a fun pairing and can even be utilized in your landscaping in the form of flowers.
