Looking through Houzz for different colors, but, to me anyway, not all colors go with all bricks. There are really lots of different colors of brick homes. I think a red door with navy shutter might look nice on yours.

Black shutters, Navy door

All Black

Teal

BM Gentleman's Gray glossy door. On the front of Southern Living magazine.

It's actually quite a bit darker in real life.

Tibbrix! Thank you. That is exactly what I wanted to see. I am definitely love the black and the navy.

Terrific! Glad the visual helped. I think it looks nice!

I think that's a great choice. (thanks tibbrix)

And as for the boxes, I happen to love window boxes. But I am unsure of just doing those two uppers. Admittedly I am a pretty symmetrical person. How did you come to consider just those two?

Good question. The bottom two windows are pretty close to the ground and I think that the boxes will get lost in the landscaping. I saw a few pictures of houses with just the uppers and it looked okay.

I am sorry to be a dissenter, but I like the black with one of the two teal doors that Tib posted. You could also do a navy door and a shade of khaki shutters.

Aktillery, I tried doing just that with the program, but the beige and brown shutters just didn't look right against the house. Now, that's on a program. IRL could be entirely different.

louis, if you end up going with black on the shutters, if you ever have to get your room redone, do it in black. I like the starkness of the black against brick and I think it gives brick houses more stature and heft.

I thought about suggesting a tan/khaki, but I was affraid it would get lost, which sounds like maybe it would.

As for the boxes, you could always do those two and see what you think. Can always add more.

Navy shutters, either navy or teal door gets my vote. Just my opinion, but I don't think I'd do window boxes- I think they're more cottagey. A couple of big urns with flowers, or evergreen topiaries on either side of your front door would look great!

I think a medium gray on the shutters and a navy or red door would look pretty too.

I have black shutters and a bright, bold red door.

I also have Mayne window boxes and they've been beautiful and great for the flowers with the water reservoir.

I like the black shutters and navy door..it's unexpected. I would just make sure it's a bold navy so it really stand out against the black. I would just do window boxes on the upper three windows. Agree your bottom windows are low and already have shrubs below them. Pretty house!

Love the navy door and black shutters!! Are you using Hale Navy? Isn't that what you used in your living room? I remember it looking beautiful!

Hey good memory! Yes my living is SW Naval. I bought the paint for the front door a year ago when I did the living room and just never painted it.

SW Naval

Just looked that up, gorgeous!!

louis, that is SW Naval I used in the mockup.

Lukki, I also tried it with gray shutters, of all depths, but it too didn't work, I think because of the brown roof and the warmth of the bricks.

Excellent Tibbrix! Now I just have to find someone to take them down and paint them and rehang. Why is it so hard to find people to do smaller jobs like this?

Look up under Handyman. Btw, got an email from a GW lurker this morning. Says she really likes the black and the navy.

Do keep in mind that real life is very different than a mockup on a computer monitor!

I think both the navy and black are too stark for the orange-y brick, and that you should choose an accent color that works with both the brick and roof colors. Have you considered a pretty, deep (not necessarily dark) chocolate brown for the shutters and a khaki for the trim and pediment? The door itself could be a rich rust color or the shutter color.

ah, good point, Tibbrix, I didn't take that into consideration, but thanks for trying! I just found a guy to paint ours, he's going to do them when he washes the siding.
