Help! Ideas for exterior paint + painted brick

4 years ago

last modified: 4 years ago

Hi Everyone- We are looking to paint the exterior of our home for a refreshed look. We tend to lean towards darker colors rather than light colors. I'm having trouble deciding if we should paint the whole house 1 color + trim or 2 body colors and what color palette to use. Any ideas or recommendations would be super helpful! We live in Texas where we have a lot of greenery year round. I'm not a huge fan of the brick color as seems to disappear into the decomposed granite.

We would love any and all ideas from the community! I had a graphic designer put together our house with a grey color / monochromatic look, but it's not totally working for us. How would you paint this house?

Thank you!

what is the color you show in the first pick is tha your brick already painted (I sure hope not ) IMO the fastest way to devalue a house is to paint the brick . Iwould lose the shutters paint the siding the dark color get a MCM garage door and entry door and then do some nice MCM landscaping .So something like this for thebgarage and entry doors and this type of landscaping just leave the brick and BTW if you have grids in the widows change that ,

Hey Patrica- Thanks for writing us back. The first pic is a rendering if we did it all over grey.I agree that all over grey doesn't look great. Thankfully we don't have grids in the windows but we do have plantation shutters.

Romabio masonry flat give a beautiful finish that allows the brick to breath which prevents mold and mildew. It is expensive but has a 20 year warranty. It won’t crack and peel like paint. Romabio is on line .
