Help with exterior trim

10 years ago

I posted on the decorating forum as well but haven;t gotten any responses yet. We are in the process of hiring a siding guy and need to decide how to trim our new construction. We are not yet sure on the house color. What would you do for window trim, door trim (if any- not sure if we need because of transom and sidelights), moulding, corner boards, trim boards etc. Also we kept going back and forth on shutters- the current idea was to do a slightly bigger trim and skip them but we are still open to the idea. Here is a picture of the current construction and a rendering of what the finished should should be something like (I drew shutters on one part just to give an idea what they look like.....we would either do none, or probably just the two front facing gables).

For window trim I was thinking maybe something like this:

And then maybe something like this for under the roof (not sure what it's called- crown?)

We can do whatever we want but I have no idea where to begin! For some reason I thought the siding guy would give us ideas and show us renderings- clearly I was wrong. Any help VERY much appreciated. Thanks everyone! (color still undecided...we are currently thinking grey or blue...also open to color suggestions. We are planning primed hardi so we can paint any color).
