Exterior Paint Assistance
Comments (4)What's the objective of a new color scheme? Is there a homeowner? I ask because color consultants start with the people who live in the home. What they like and want to keep. What they don't like. What do they want their house to "say" from the curb and how their home can be made to reflect something about them and who they are. For example, if you go blue on that house, it's going to be a complementary color scheme which means hard lines of contrast and a bold vibe. Which is markedly different from the current color scheme that's a quite blend of analogous colors. So, we go back to the homeowner and what they want - bold or quite.

Comments (3)For sure, the house is not ugly. You may not like the brick, but it’s not ugly. Romabio is recommended for brick but if looking for general guidelines, you need a mineral paint for brick. A lime wash is also an option. I’d go with a cream color for the brick and Urbane Bronze for trim, or accent colors. Classic wooden stained door. It will all look very clean, classic and stylish. Update any lights and make sure they are the right size. The columns appear a bit puny, but probably not enough to do anything about. I like their taper. You’ll get the biggest bang for your buck with new landscaping. Please don’t trim shrubs into balls, globes, trapezoids.. Plant arching shrubs such as nine bark (arching growth habits are SO elegant, lovely and natural looking). I’ve just ordered a Little Quick Fire hydrangea: it blooms all the time with flowers that are white and dusty pink. It’s also the kind of plant I picture for southern regions. Have no idea if you get a true autumn down there but shrubs with fall color would be great. Keep your landscaping simple but interesting....See MoreAssistance with cabinet paint color with Calacatta Ultra quartz
