Need help with trim color, please.

last year

This is my 16x20 shop. The exterior siding will be SW Wool Skein. Exterior fascia and window trim will be SW Pure White. My question is should I paint the CORNER trim SW Pure White. Or should it be the same as the exterior siding which is SW Wool Skein? Thanks in advance!

I would say from my perspective, corner trim same color as window trim and fascia.

little bug Zone 5 Missouri. My whole home is Hardiplank siding and it is painted Universal Khaki by Sherwin Williams. I intend to paint my home SW Wool Skein

little bug Zone 5 Missouri also my husbands shop is a metal bldg that is slate bronze I believe. It’s a textured type metal bldg and sits a good ways away from the house but can still be seen.

I’d paint it to match your house.

Next spring I will paint the house the same as the shop.. we live in a rural area in the middle of 30 acres so it won’t be an eyesore until we can get that done. Thanks !

Same as the other trim but please get a nice fun door that is boring . When you say shop what will you actually use the space for? Cute building but how does it relate to the other buildings on the propert it looks kind of plunked down with no plan

I prefer the corner trim to match the color of the siding, I don’t like to call attention to it but just my preference

Corner trim should match the siding.

Will you be doing any landscaping around it?

Stop me from showing a photo with window boxes since it's a workshop and not a garden shed. Do think about a few stepping stones to integrate the shed with the rest of the yard.

Patricia Colwell Consulting the door was open into shop. The building will be used as a craft/seasonal decor storage place. The windows and door match my home. Here is a picture of the door.

housegal200. Yes, I did consider window boxes! I have stones at front of my house and thought about doing the same to my shop.

Jennifer Hogan Yes, I do plan to put a flower garden. There is a door on the right side of the shop that would go out into the garden. Im thinking about a stone pathway from the front door to my house.

Patricia Colwell Consulting It was well thought out. Budget does restrict some things though. This shop is behind my home on the most level area we could put it without doing major dirt work, as the property has a slope to it. I had to work with what I had. It was not my first choice to put it there. It is however about 40 ‘ from my back patio steps. So it is close and that will be handy. I built this to match the style and color of my home so that it didn’t look like a random outbuilding sitting in my backyard.
