There’s something truly magical about old houses. Hand-carved banisters, cozy window seats, etc…. For those of us who love the craftsmanship and history of old houses, they represent more than just buildings—they’re a tangible connection to the past. As an old house enthusiast, I’ve spent countless hours admiring the beauty of these structures and wondering about their history. That’s exactly what inspired me to create a series of 5 free old house adult coloring pages shared below.

Color Combination Ideas
These are YOUR coloring pages, so I encourage you to use your favorite colors. Want to use hot pink to color a Craftsman front door? Go right ahead.
But if you want to stay historically accurate to the beauty and authenticity of your old house coloring pages, here are some different color combinations based on the most popular architectural styles and eras taken from this guide from This Old House:
– Victorian Houses: Think bold, elaborate and vibrant colors. Rich, bright colors like deep reds, forest greens, and golds were popular, often with contrasting trims. Consider using a color palette inspired by Victorian-era wallpaper or textiles.
– Colonial Revival: This style often features more subdued, classic colors. Soft blues, creams, whites, and muted grays work well – no bright colors. These colors reflect the understated elegance of the Colonial era.
– Craftsman: Earthy tones like olive greens, rusts, and browns are perfect for this style, emphasizing natural materials and craftsmanship – like the Colonial Revival, commonly no vibrant colors. I used to think Victorian was my dream house, but now I realize it’s a Craftsman home.
Feel free to use these ideas as a starting point, but don’t hesitate to let your creativity shine and add your personal touch! Mixing and matching colors from different eras can also create something unique and personal – your dream house.
