I like the white with the brick. If you keep the white I would remove the shutters. They are too small and don't belong on double windows. Remove the half circle window over the door. Paint the door black and the sidelights white.

If you want a change I would choose the savannah wicker. Again no shutters, Trim could be off white and gables the same savannah brown. That door with oval window does not belong on your house. Something more like these:

Good for you trying to do different mock-ups, can you do some more?
I’d like to see mock-ups with one color siding in both the peaks and lower body.
I don’t care for the white vertical corner boards, I think you would have less busy look if they matched the siding color. I know it’s a thing/trend but you’ve got enough going on without adding more dividing lines.
The downspouts, change or paint them to match the siding color behind them, don’t leave the white, they need to not be noticed.
The door would look great in black to bring the roof color down, change to a rectangular transom window above the door. If you do, or if you eliminate the window, I would not do oval glass in the door.
Windows with a clear lower sash would look good. Are they going to remain white? Same style?
Maybe add a closeup pic of your brick to see what colours you have there.

I like the color of the second sample picture best (third picture), but I wouldn’t do a different color in the gables.

Can you paint the trim?

Also, im normally not an advocate for painting brick, but in your case, you may be better off the paint/stain the brick white vs residing and leaving the brick.

Romabio is discussed frequently here for brick, but I have no experience with it.

All your new options will be better than the high contrast of white with all the broken up pieces. What color is your roof? If the roof is dark brown, I'd use one of the warmer taupe colors you're considering. If the roof is black, you can go more gray. Paint the vertical trim pieces the same color as the siding. When you choose your door, stick to a traditional or transitional style - not the victorian one in your mockup. I'd use plain, full length sidelights, with a solid door.

Cali,

Thank you! “all the broken up pieces” exactly describes how I feel for the past 15 years!! Just can’t find the word for it.

The roof is very dark black/gray, not solid black but with different shade of gray mix in to give it a bit more depth.

About the vertical trim color, I was thinking about 6” super corners in white, it seems a lot of new houses these days use that design. I will definitely try the same color as siding on paper to see.

Thanks for pointing out the door, Victorian is not the way to go for sure lol.

misecretary,

Townhouses lol. Never thought of that, that’s so funny but also true lol. I was house hunting for 2 years, driving by this one so many times but never want to see inside because of the curb appeal. Finally I scheduled an appointment and the interior sold me at the first glance. Guess now is the time to set it right.

Bringing in more bricks might be a great idea, I will do some more mock up to see. Just a bit of worrying how close my contractor can match it...

I agree on the brick route 300%. I think that’ll look soooo great and cohesive!!

Thank for all the great suggestions. Here we go again after adding bricks.

1. with 6” super corner white

2. corner same color as siding

3. one peak with same color siding

4. all peak with same color siding as body

I was secretly hoping can bring in some trend muti-color/texture siding, wire vertical corner boards...guess have to settle with wha goes with house layout.

Any thoughts?

I don't think the dark brown triangular siding works on the tops next to your black roof. I would forgo the white vertical siding completely. So of those 4 options I would go with the last one. I also don't think you need the extra lower brick over by the garage area, unless you put brick on that full area, and I don't think you need brick around the door, which just makes another area broken up by the siding. If you wanted to add brick, I think you'd want to do the whole front of the house. You might try a mockup using dark gray/black trim around the rooflines instead of the white color to see what you think.

I would not add brick. I like the white fascia boards at the roofline especially if your trim and windows will be white, beef up the window trim. If you get a lot of sun at the front, choose a siding that is mid tone or darker. I like the grey and clay.
We should have asked you about the sides and rear of your home, is there brick there too or just siding? If it’s all siding, I’d look to see if a belly band can be added to break up the height. Belly band house photos with different placements for a change of material or floor heights.
