Need help picking exterior home colors

10 years ago

my house needs painting badly and I cannot decide on colors. We will add trim and walnut stained faux garage doors. I don't like the bricks or that one lone brick pillar..but can't replace them at this time so possibly painting bricks depending on the house color we pick.

here's my house front and the back

heres a couple of the home I like for color choices. Navy blue will probably look best on bigger homes but Im drawn to it more.

thank you!!

I love the idea of you painting your house navy blue with white trim! I suggest not painting the brick because you will change a very low maintenance material into something that has to be repainted every 4 or 5 years. I have a red brick chimney on my house and I did not have it painted when the painters painted my house in April, and I hate red brick!
