Exterior remodel help!

7 months ago

Remodeling exterior of house. I am keeping the siding and roof to be cost effective. I desperately need help deciding what color windows, shutter, and door stain would look best with the tan siding and grey roof.

    No shutters on those windows. Paint trim same color as the siding and get urban bronze windows. Take the Y pieces off the posts and beef up the posts. Lighten up the door so it doesn't look like a black hole. Is that a garage on the right? It would benefit with a window. Then landscape.

    Yes, remove the shutters.


    Are those supporting posts? If so, then wrap them with beefy cedar cladding, plain, or if budget allows stone supports of cedar columns. Match the door to the columns--restain door you have to be lighter.






    Or paint the door a light turquoise.

    I agree with jck that you need windows on the side of what looks like a garage. If that's not possible then professional andscaping plans, which you should definitely budget for, should include that blank wall. Look how these deep beds extend the footprint of the house and porch. Consider a much wider walkway in the same stone as your stone façade.

    Be intentional about the windows from the inside. Think about straight, less droopy curtains, or better long plantation shutters. Any new window frames should be bronze.

    Are you changing the windows? Are you changing the front door?

    Yes, paint your current columns bronze as well as window trim as Beverly shows above. Her mockup looks great!

    That does not look like a garage entry because there is no driveway evident. Did garage entrance change to the side? I bring this up because it will make a difference if adding window(s) and deciding colors.

    Use dark Bronze Windows, lose the shutters. Change out the double door to a single with 2 sidelites and paint red or green.

    I'd put a tree in front of the blank space on the right. It does not need to be right next to your house if you don't have room for it there. Or, you could move your path out and put it between the path and the house. I'd do a small, native flowering tree.

    This kind of walkway/patio hardscaping in stone that matches your trim could extend your front porch and be part of a new landscaping plant.

    THat blank wall screams garage redo so add windows there IMO no shutters no y things for the posts just bigger posts Then the siding painted a color from the stone and LANDSCAPING is what you will need after that
