Thank you! The roof is also brown and so are the shutters, it's so overwhelming. I do love the light grey in your photo, but I'm not sure how it would look with a brown roof.

Llight gray should work! I have light beige furniture and carpet in my living room and I painted the walls Classic Silver from Behr paints. My brown furniture also looks good against this paint. Here is a photo so you can see how the colors look together:

My chairs in the photo are an ivory/beige color and so are the sconces. I have brown frames sitting on a cherry piece of furniture. I know colors do not always show well on monitors, phones, and so forth. The best way to find the perfect gray for your house is to choose a shade, order a sample, and try out a small portion on your house. Look at it in both sunlight and cloudy weather.

Congrats on your new house!

I think the fixed elements--brown roof, white windows, red brick--are just one too many to try to make cohesive. I'd paint the siding + brick an off white color and splurge on a new wood or wood look front door in a tone that relates back to the roof. One could go mad trying to find just the right paint color that plays nice with red, brown and white. Life's too short!

I like the shutters on the gable end windows and I'd add some to the garage and front porch windows. Probably remove them from the living room window.

With some landscaping that draws the eye to the front door and some paint it'll be great.

Some brown and off-white inspiration...

Love the blue, Behr Forever Denim with crisp white trim, would also look good with the brown roof and red brick

I would build some sort of long arbor over your door and along further, it will break up the red brick look, add a bright colour to your door and a pathway

Amy A- I hope you're taking some time to enjoy your purchase. Renovating/building has gripped us so much that sometimes we forget to do it.

If I were you, I wouldn't paint the brick- the low maintenance material on your home. Think about some siding choices and door, since they need regular maintenance anyway. And easy to change. I would also consider getting some landscaping advice. You have a beautiful front yard. Good landscaping can do a ton for curb appeal.

Have some fun with this, and good luck.

Oh my gosh love the suggestion made by benjesbride. Very elegent and reminiscent of french design concepts. That being said you dont have to go white. So many nice options! Just agree that you should paint both siding and brick the same color for cohesion. The brick is an awful one tone reddish brown that I would personally want to hide. It is also creating a very strange top and bottom division, not a fan. There have been so many advances with brick pain that so long as you do your research then you will be fine and have a minimal maintanence result. Look into a product like romabio. Used it on my Mom's fireplace last year based off her realtors reccomendation.

A more obvious walkway to the front door, and painting the door a brighter color may help. Additional plantings will help, too.

You can use a warm grey on the house. Please don’t paint the brick! After you get the grey on then tackle landscaping and a great walkway.

Our last house was a trilevel with similar brick applied to the front facade at varying heights. Believe me, this stuff is nothing special. When we resided the house, we removed the brick and it easily just fell away from the house. I totally struggled with the decision to remove the original brick, but looking back it was silly to want to preserve something with really no architectural or structural value.
