Insult my house color!

4 years ago

Hello, I’m bored of the outside of my house and want to change the colors including door trim even. Im at loss for what colors would look good (I’m in Miami). Please throw your ideas at me! Thank you!

    The p orch color doesnt go with the white of the house. The house is stark and looks a bit cold. What you need is some accent colors. Not necessary to repaint the whole house. Just give it some interest.

    Your house looks like the right color for a location that bakes in the summer sun. Why not add some interest with a container garden at your entry and/or the sides of the stairs?

    Easiest thing to do would be to repaint the steps. Right now your house is a cool white and your steps are a warm white. Not good. Consider either a grey that's slightly blue or a terracotta the same colour as your roof.


    Once that's done, reassess. You may not need more. If you do, window trim in a light grey might be an option.


    If none of the above sings to you and you really want to paint the whole thing, think about sherbet colours-- pastel pink, orange or yellow. Or what about turquoise? All very traditional colours around Miami.

    I think I’d paint it closer to the color of the stairs.

    I like your white house! And I like the colour of your steps! But it looks like your house might need a pressure wash or a coat of paint? Looks a bit dirty. Your porch is crying out for big terra cotta pots of flowers to add colour on either side of your door. And paint your front door a colour like kelly green perhaps? Add landscaping with garden beds full of colourful flowers. Maybe change the lighting on either side of your door to black wrought iron lanterns. A black wrought iron railing will make the stairs safer. The way your house is now, it just needs some finishing touches. All that white will be a great backdrop for greenery and colourful flowers and a bit of black wrought iron.

    I would have so much fun covering up all that white with a great color. In searching for pics, the blues seem to keep jumping out at me....



    I like the trim color with the blue above ^^
    or what about a fresh green:

    not sure about this with your roof color:

    ok 2more!
    Yellow stucco never looks good to me but I thought this was a really nice color esp with the green trim and roof color:

    maybe not these colors, lol, but you could get creative with some color blocking:

    Advertise a street art contest in the historic neighborhoods of Miami with a cash award of $500 to the winner determined by your neighbors.

    I like the color of your steps and garage-it’s a much more warmer neutral than the white of your house. Could you paint the house the same color? I would then pick a nice warm shade of green or blue for the front door and add lots of beautiful flower pots in similar colors to flank the entrance. Finally, house numbers and lighting would add interest to your front exterior.
