Exterior House Color Help

last year

Hi everyone! I’m looking for suggestions on exterior paint colors that would pair well with a brown roof. I’d love to see examples of color combinations or AI renderings that anyone has done. Any advice or inspiration is welcome—thanks so much!

I think the garage doors are fine. Not every one wants garage windows. One house, we had, we ended up putting cardboard over windows from the inside, because, kids kept peeking inside.. I do agree, the house door needs something done, so you can see its a door, rather than a big black hole. The color of the house is very nice. Maybe just add a few colorful pots with plants in them, in front, so it has some personality. I cant see enough of the other side of the picture, to know if that is a patio out there or not. If it is, then add some color in that area too. It looks like no one lives there right now. Congratulations on your new house. It looks very nice and very well maintained.

What is it you do not like now ? I do not love the garge door with no windows and I cannot even see the front door so maybe work on those then see if you need a new actual house color

It’s just due for a new paint job. I dont have the vision to know whats best. The front door is a red brick shade. I’m not unhappy with the current color scheme but thought I’d throw the inquiry out to get alternate color ideas. Attached is older photo before roof was replaced and landscaping updated but pictures color of front door better.

I don't like the brown trim - to my eyes, it's dated. The garage door is fine. I'd find a light sage green that goes with the roof and darker green trim. Also, more landscaping and better lights would go a long way to making it look fabulous!

Agree a sage green could work nicely with your roof color. I’d do the trim in a soft white. Same soft white for the door to help pull it out of the shadows. Though darker, a navy-ish blue door, such as in this photo, can work with sage green siding.

If/when possible, I agree a garage door with windows would add some interest, especially with a front facing garage.

There are faux garage door windows available inexpensively. Not sure how they look IRL.

I like existing color. It is very good looking with roof and trim.

May be just different door color?

How about white on the trim?

I agree with the windows on the garage--because it is front facing and close to the street.

Color scheme is nice IMO.
