Any suggestions for exterior paint colors and new lights?
Hello, I am getting ready to paint the exterior of my home before the landscape is fixed up. I would like some suggestions on paint and trim color. The driveway is a pale red paver color and the roof is a greyish brown color. I don't particularly like the wide trim but it is part of the stucco and would be a big ordeal to change it. So any suggestions on hiding the big cylinder columns and trim are helpful. The side by the palm trees and bushes is another big arched window with cylinder columns. It's hidden right now because I don't like the way the big columns stand out.
The interior of my home is Pearly white, cream, bronze, black, and silver tones with both contemporary and traditional features. I would love to paint the exterior white but the house faces West and bright in the Florida sun my neighbors might not appreciate that! I like both light and dark on the houses here in Florida - it seems like anything goes around here! I think a two-tone could be interesting and look nice if done right.
Also, I need new light fixtures and have no idea what would look nice with my house. I mentioned earlier that the interior is contemporary and traditional, but I don't know what style the lights should be.The ones up now look funny and don't really match in my opinion. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

What are you going to do with that huge expanse of pinkish pavers. That is going to have a huge effect on anything your select.
You could paint the home in a green shade or peachy pink shade.

7 years agoI like these ideas!! The pinkish pavers are staying for a few years. I think after a pressure wash they will be closer to red. I can't change the roof for another few years so that will be staying at least 5 or so years. I am planning on having a very lush landscape. I'm lucky to have a friend in the business! My neighbor across the street has a peach-pink house. It's beautiful, very spanish-style and ornate. I don't want to look like I am trying to copy them, though. The house is like double mine! lol
My neighborhood is a mix of different style homes. Mediterranean, key west, spanish, Florida. There's no association or consistency in style on my street, so anything goes here. Many homes with red features - a lot of red roofs and dark red trim.
Here's an image I found with a red paver driveway, but the roof tiles are also the same red. Also, I see many beautiful features that really bring this together, like the details around the windows, sills, brackets under the roof over hang.
This one is a little older but very nice details.
Here's a few brand new homes in my area that I looove and wish I could replicate some how in my own version. I can't even imagine how to make mine like them. Any suggestions?
^This one has a red driveway!

The pavers will not get redder when cleaned. They might get deeper when they are cleaned and if you have them sealed, but they will likely bit more of a maroon color.
Here is your home in the sage.with brown doors to look like wood.
I'm not crazy about the peachy pink with your pavers.
