My house is due for some new windows and I’m looking to replace siding at the same time because currently it’s vinyl siding directly over OSB with some rotten sections by some of the windows. I know that I want a greenish-gray color for the siding (like the 3rd picture), but I’m unsure of what texture (e.g. shakes, vertical) and accent color could go on the front of my house.

It’s a “snout house” where the garage sticks out in the front with 2 gables visible from the road. There’s a 3rd gable for the porch but that’s really only visible from a small portion of my yard so I think that would just get horizontal siding. The main garage has bricks running up both sides of it. I haven’t found any similar houses in search results so I don’t have many ideas of what to do. There’s only one other house in my neighborhood (4th picture) that has the same brickwork with updated siding. That house has more brick on the main portion of the house so they’re able to have the shakes and vertical siding on the whole front of the house with horizontal siding everywhere else. Doing everything visible from the street would be a little too expensive for my house. I like the ideas of shakes, vertical siding, and gable brackets, but I still haven’t come up with any combinations that I’d love on my house. Worst case I just do horizontal siding like what’s currently there, but I would like to add some curb appeal.
