Can someone help me to choose color for this ugly ranch house ????

I recently purchase this house because of the interior lay out which is very suitable for our needs . However, I am in a phase that I need to choose color for the roof, door, windows and the exterior color which is stucco.

I really can't visualize what color will be nice to give a face lift to this house . I was hoping some one can help me .

    Hi Rubina, in the small size photo attached, it's hard to see much detail. If you could post a larger file, by itself, t would help. That said, from the little I can view, here are some thoughts: 1. It appears you have a lot of different materials and details on the house which chop it up and make it feel busy. You can create harmony by using one color on most or all of these surfaces; I would consider a cream or warm off-white (assuming you are keeping the brown roof currently in place). 2. Your landscaping is beautiful - ad you thought about pulling a color from one of those blooms, and using it either on the front door, or just as an accent - say in a pot by the door, a bench, or a welcome mat? If you have further questions, feel free to email me directly at Info@PaintColorHelp.com. Good luck, looks like a cute place!

    Yes, I am replacing the roof and actually, I was thinking the same color tone. However, little concern about hot summers and whether it will cause extra heat since the house is in Southern California. Smart guess !!!!

    We're also in SoCal and have a ranch style home. Our roof is a 'medium' gray...no problem. Just don't go with a really dark gray.

    I don't have a photo or our roof, but it's tile and looks close to this color. Our siding is cream and trim is white. I'd like more contrast between the two. We also have some brick in front to consider.

    I took another picture. I hope you will be able to zoom in.

    If you go with a gray roof there are tons of color options. Do you have any preference for a stucco color?

    Are you changing the landscaping?

    Your house looked so familiar. I actually drove to an area close to us to see if it was yours...nope!

    Yes, the Landscape should be re-designed for sure. I was also recommended to do off white or Ivory Lace for the exterior stucco color and light color new windows. I am open to suggestions.
