How do I update my Tudor?

8 years ago

Bought this baby 3 years ago. My wife and I have been trying to figure out what to do with it. The brown boards are the color of a #2 and a lot of the boards are rotting and need replaced. The roof is only 10 years old so that stays. Do we put new gutters and flashing and delete the boards? Do we replace with siding?

Replace the bad boards (or all of them) and consider a more pleasing color palette.

Unless you love Tudor, I’d take this opportunity to ditch the Tudor elements and lean into a simple transitional style exterior. And maybe add some kind of portico that highlights your front door.

I would replace the siding with board and batten. Or a mix of shake and clapboard.

I like how they varied the with of the board and added details of clapboard on this house.

I would stay away from the palate that uses the Copper Brown. With your brick and roof warmer grays (with brown undertone) will work better.

Stay close to the color palate that you already have. Your roof looks brown, so gray will not be a good choice to use on your house. I would probably stay with the brown colors and for the house body, maybe a bit darker color than the cream you already have. Just looking at the existing house, should give you some great ideas. You have a beautiful house.
