Paint Windows Remodeling

What architectural style is my home?

Alexandria Juarez

last year

My house was supposedly built in 1938. I’m wondering what style it is - I feel like it’s a little craftsman and a little ranch?

Was hoping I could get some inspiration to paint my trim and windows a certain color based on the style. Open to any and all paint suggestions. I just feel like the white is so blah. I’d also like to swap the white wood blinds on the right to match the bamboo on the left but afraid the house color scheme will look too yellow/brown. Advice would be appreciated!

To my untrained eye, ranch.

It appears to be a ranch to me too. Match a brown color from your roof (the darkest brown in your roof), for your windows. I do agree, to have the same type of blinds on all the windows, especially in the front of the house. Your door isnt seen in the picture, but, it could be painted a nice bright color to show up nicely when someone pulls into your driveway.

I think it's a pretty house, not matter what the official style is, and I kind of like the white, it's subtle.

This house where I grew up is early 1950s but a similar style
