Remodeling Exterior

Need advice on color selection for front door and window shutters.

2 years ago

Would like to update the look of my 1941 tudor revival home with new door and shutter color. The last photo shows the existing house "as is."

The other photos are ideas I have been playing around with showing different door colors and shutter colors( with wider shutters).

Not sure what colors work best. Would appreciate any advice / suggestions re: color.Thanks in advance!

Darling house! Of the three I prefer the first. I also love greens with natural brick and might try out some dark earthy greens for both shutters and door.

@roarah thank you for the great suggestions! I played around with some greens and came up with this.What do you think...too muted?

I’ve always liked this Houzz photo, they don’t mention the colours used though. Is your roof brownish or grey? You want it to go well with your flowering plants too.

I'm also drawn to the greens with the brick.
