Shutters advice please!

3 years ago

We painted our new home using a custom tint with Romabio mineral paint. It’s the same off white color we have used on a different house and turned out a creamy or “bone” or “antique white” color. Trying not to think it seems yellow. But it was too late to start over when I realized the color looked different on our new house. I actually drove to our old house by the way and the color looked identical. So the difference is this home has some white vinyl windows which we found out the day of painting we could not in fact have them painted and retain the warranty. This exacerbates the contrast on the body and trim but that is now a moot point. We want to see whether to put the brown shutters back or paint them a new color or leave them off. What do you think? I mocked this up in Paint. Thank you Houzz community!

Lovely home. I would leave the shutters off and work on making the landscaping much lush and colorful.

Yea that is in the works for sure. The plantings you see are two years old so they hopefully will really grow in the third summer next year. I want to balance with a purple maple on right side and extend the bed to the right so it will lend the trees to be symmetrical. We need height there under windows for sure.

Another vote to leave them off. I think the brown is nice, the windows are just not right for shutters.

Your home looks beautiful without shutters. Focusing on landscape consider partnering with your local garden nursery for ideas. I can imagine left of walkway having no grass with a nice plant bed with complimentary rock. And perhaps using the painted brick laid even to border the walkway to give more presence.
