Help selecting brick or stone for Bottom of Exterior House

26 days ago

Hi,

I’d love advice and opinions on choosing a brick to wrap around the bottom portion of our house exterior, which is light gray shingles. The house is in a beach town on the bay.


The house leans a bit traditional, but I prefer a more modern look, so I’m trying to land somewhere transitional rather than very traditional.


I’ve narrowed the brick choices down to the options attached, but I’m definitely open to suggestions if something else would work better with the gray shingles.


A few things I’m thinking about:

  • Keeping the overall look fresh and updated and will not look dated in a few years

  • Avoiding anything that feels too red or too rustic

  • Making sure the brick complements the cool gray tone of the shingles

I'd love help pairing brick or stone with gray shingles. I’d really appreciate your thoughts on which option works better, or if there’s a brick type or color you’d recommend instead.


TIA!




OPTION 1

OPTION 2






OPTION 3 - WHITE BRICK BUT A MIX OF TWO DIFFERENT WHITE BRICKS

WHITE MIX - TOP RIGHT AND BOTTOM
