Having a hard time with picking a new colour scheme for our home. I want it to look more modern without dating it.

    Pretty house. I like the house color but the orangey-red trim is definitely dating. I understand you have cedar accents, but painting something cedar-colored. that’s not cedar, is not attractive. IMO.

    How about painting the trim the same color as the house but mixed with 50% white?

    I agree the red trim is the big issue . Maybe as suggested just a lighter shade of the siding . The biggest bang for your buck will be a good cleanup of the porch the landscaping and maybe black trim could work.

    Very cozy house. I would leave the cedar color, but, would paint the trim, with a similar color as the cedar. The rusty red, doesnt go with the color of the cedar. Once trim is all painted, I would add some furniture to those patios, along with pots of colored flowers, and give the yard a good clean up. By the one entrance, those stones have become a tripping hazard, and I would remove them, and redo the walking area there.

    Looks like you've posted another discussion on the same house, here's what I just posted on your other post:


    With the colour of your siding, I suggest black trim. Also suggest that you cover the painted columns with wood and stain the same colour stain as elsewhere on the house, with the exception of the 2 areas where you have handrails & columns which I show in black. Improving the landscaping with something that works in your area would also be a plus...

    Pretty house! Maybe green with brown trim? There are some nice examples here: https://aprylann.com/green-house-with-brown-trim/?amp
