My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What color should the outside be?

11 years ago
Hello everyone. I wanted to get your input as to what color I should paint the exterior of my home. my husband is leaning towards blues and I'm leaning towards greenish colors or maybe even burnt oranges or something. we want the drive way to pop against the house. oh and our shingles are also in the dark brown family. any suggestions are very much appreciated. thank you in advance

    this pic may give you an idea of a greenish/grey juxtaposed against yr drive(almost the same colour as the stone referenced in the inspiration pic)
