I should mention, the painters are coming back today to finish up & I need to let them know if I’m going to keep the garage as is, trim it out in white, go back to white, etc. They also will need to know if they’re putting the shutters back up & in what color. Thinking I’ll leave them off the far left window & put a flower box underneath, but maybe above the garage looks a little naked?? If I put the shutters back up should I go with white, black, or a variant shade of the dominant house color? TIA!

The garage color is good. Looks very nice. Much better than the white. Your front door, can be any color you want it. I would choose a brighter color, of your choice. As to the shutters, the house actually looks good either way, so your choice. On your house, I would choose to leave them off. The house looks bigger and more in proportion without them.

Thank you so much for your input! Very helpful🤩

I like the house with no shutters.

I like the garage door, but you might consider painting the trim around it white. If you were to paint the garage door, I'd go with a few shades darker than the house paint. All paints are made of a mix of pigments. Find out what pigments are in your paint. There will probably be a form of black and a form of white. You can ask them to make a sample with more black or less white.

Thanks Sigrid! If I were to paint the garage 3 shades darker, would you still trim it out in white, or no?
