whitewashed our brick house-now what? Ideas on color?

2 years ago

In the process of whitewashing our house. Black matte for the trim.
What do we do with the gutters and the facial and the siding above the big window? Do we paint them black as well? Front door color? And garage door color?
Please don’t judge the landscaping mess going on in the yard. lol

    I like gutters to match the soffit/fascia and the downspouts to match the color of the house. For most homes gutters/downspouts are utilitarian and should not be highlighted.

    What color roof have you chosen to match the new brick and trim colors?


    Tip: You should make all these decisions before doing anything.

    We are still not sure about a color for the roof.
    Open to suggestions. Lol

    Medium Grays are usually the most versatile color for a roof (although charcoal and black are mentioned on the board a lot). I would not do black trim you do not have a farmhouse style home.



    Post your inspiration photo.

    What color would you suggest for the trim? We will not be doing the roof until spring.

    Can’t wait to see the finished product!!

    I would do the fascia, gutters and all trim white to match the body of the house with color on the windows only.

    I agree with all white.

    So with the brown shingles on the roof, any suggestions on a color for the window trim? We want to pint the front door possibly a lavender color. Should I paint the garage white? Or possibly that faux wood look on garage?

    White garage probably. Why a brown roof, I thought that wasn't chosen yet.

    That’s just the color it currently is.

    Consider choosing the roof now, at least a couple options that will be finalized later. Will help answer some of these questions you have now about all the other related stuff.

    Agree with all white for siding, trim and gutters + charcoal roof and a fun color for the front door - keep the house very simple and add interest with landscaping

    Greens or blues could work. Lavendar will not work with the brown roof.

    So we still need to paint the door, the peak, and garage door.
    We bought a sample of Sherwin Williams “Zinc Luster”
    We don’t mind the trim color. Never been a neutral person but figure we could use a bold color on the door.
    Were thinking about the faux wood for the garage door.
    Would the house look better with the gutters painted? And what color? What color should the peak be then?

    I would paint the gutters and garage door same as house white. The idea of faux wood for garage door would look off since there's no other wood accents going on to compliment it.

    What color do you think would look good on the front door?

    Wow it is looking great!

    For your door - think about a color that will complement the brown roof and windows - maybe a warm green or the right coral?

    Agree to keep the gutters white (hopefully the "Look at me!" black gutter trend will end soon)

  • 2 years ago

    Coral sounds like it would be great!

    Still need to paint the garage door white. And clean up the paint on the glass windows. But it turned out great! Thank you to everyone who responded and offered advice. ❤️
