Hold the cream... before and after design ideas

6 years ago

Which color looks better (cream is the original)? Leaning towards the green with white garage. Send your suggestions and I'll update with new combinations.

    No, its too busy. The white just emphasizes how busy the trim is on the house. The garage door pops out on the last one like Little Bug mentions above. Something needs to tone down the window and entry trim.

    I like the second one best.

    The second picture is probably the way too go, as others have mentioned the garage being white pulls all the focus to that, and it's a little loud looking.

    I would do the green with different color trim and garage

    Thanks everyone, great feedback. Yes the trim is quite pronounced with the darker paints. Here are some updates with lighter paint colors.

    The white garage door is drawing all the attention.

    Bring the focus to the front door through an accent color - and blend the garage door with the surrounding color you eventually select.

    I'd vote for keeping it cream. Have you considered white with white trim?

    This isn't a 2 story but what caught my eye are the garage doors which look like yours. You might glean some ideas off of this photo. And whatever you decide you need to come up with a 3rd paint color for the front door. Otherwise it is just blending in.

    Going back to the dark green. What if you painted the garage doors and the section above the front door a slightly lighter green. Note the different color front door.

    I see that you are in the Northwest, where days are short in the winter. In my opinion, colors need to be a little brighter in the NW to account for the highly variable light conditions. Shown below is a somewhat brighter color combination from Sherwin Williams 2020 collection that you might want to try on the home in your software. I would do the body in software, the gable over the front door and the area beneath the gable in misty, the trim in snowbound, and the front door in a showy accent color, that appeals to the owner.

    Paint the corner boards and garage the same color as the house.

    I actually like the white garage on the green rendition. I'd paint the front door a color, though ... maybe something like SW Antique Red.

    I like the 3rd from the top (last photo). I especially like the garage door being painted white. It has nice detailing that all but disappears in the middle photo (dark garage door). Good luck!

    White trim is too stark, but a somewhat creamy white or other warm white with any of your colors would look very nice.

    Is this Vinyl Siding?


    You may open a huge bucket of worms painting it a darker color. . .
