No idea what colors!

12 years ago

We are thinking about putting hardie board on the top and staining or painting the brick. With the "top" being such a large area we don't know if we should make it all the same color or 2 different colors. Any ideas?

Leave the brick as it as it adds so much personality to your house.

I would go with a color a little bit more yellow than the current chocolate milk brown to tie in with the brick. Here are a few colors to get you started:

Be sure and click on the Preview a Room button to see how the colors look in a room. There's a tab for exterior to give you an idea of how it looks on different type of homes.

Paint your front door either an accent color, or the same color as the house so it blends in.

Nice house. Agree with adding color by painting the front door. Would leave the brick, it looks really nice. Do you want any help with anything besides paint color?
