80's Home Exterior Update - HELP
Comments (1)Gorgeous! It's supposed to be earthy so I'd stick with browns (I never say that! but it works here) or greens. Maybe something sagey?...See More80's coastal home needs exterior HELP!
Comments (15)I would use SW Spalding Gray or a lighter color down. It depends on your neighborhood. My neighborhood has very similar home styles of the same year and is lately going lighter. In the last few months some have even gone an off white. They all look very fresh and clean. Anyway, this chit should work whether you choose one of the lighter shades or darker. Chit samples below do not really look like the color "on" but here it is. They change greatly according to the time of day and go from a warm taupe to taupe beige-y to a warm mottled vintage gray. The Heron Plume is much much lighter in real life and would be a great trim color. This color for the door. Don't be afraid to go a bit brighter than you normally would as that area is in shadow. This door painted the periwinkle above. Could you please post a closeup of the window area in front? And, also a sample of what your new roof color will be?...See More80’s contemporary - need help with exterior paint color
Comments (17)I really like your contemporary house and the original color, and I agree about updating to a modern, mostly glass door. We are amazed how much a modern door changed the look of our 80s house, both from the curb and from inside!...See MoreNeed help picking exterior paint color for 80s Contemp
Comments (9)I think you can do a gray, as long as it is a warmer tone (more taupe/greige) than a cool gray. I think you need to do that to help tie the siding color in with the stone color. I would vote no on white trim. With your contemporary home I would maybe lean more towards something in the same tone, just darker, as the siding. I would probably also look at pruning or removing the tree/shrub next to the stone. It's overgrown and hiding part of the window. With the recessed door I would look at a brighter color to make it more a focal point.
