What color shutters for our yellow house and brown roof?
Comments (58)myfoursquare - Thank you again! It's way easier to see your way than having them tipped up by the windows on the bottom. I really don't know if I like them. I'm kind of on the fence. Hubby likes your pic, but he also likes the white band with it which would maybe be too much. I think we should wait too until I can get to the door. So helpful that you did that - we really appreciate it, thank you!!! jterrilynn - I agree. I'm hoping to get out today to see if any places have any nice pots left. We have so much snow here in Montana that I might just stay home today. Thanks for your feedback. It really helps. dedtired - HA! That made me laugh! We aren't going to do the vents. We did have them before the house was resided and I just got tired of them and was happy to see them go even though they added a little "something" to the house. Thanks for the feedback on the trim. We can't take the door off in this weather to paint it in the garage (it's 6 degrees here this morning why do I live here?!)so it may be awhile before we can paint and post a pic, but I will do it....See MoreHelp - Exterior Paint color needed for Brown Roof - Brown window
Comments (2)I’d reverse the color scheme. Light trim and eaves. Add some trim to the bottom windows. And if you aren’t afraid of color, I’d pop the front door with maybe something in the coral/pink to orange range....See MoreExterior paint/ design ideas for traditional house w/ light brown roof
Comments (17)@calidesign Thank you for reference photos. I am such a visual person and those are so helpful. I hate the color of the rock, but at some point this home will become a rental, so I don't want to change things that don't need changing just to suit my personal taste. Appreciate your point of view. @misecretary Great and important question! Definitely more of a beige! I have added additional pictures above that hopefully give you a better idea of the color of the stucco and the rocks. The trim & windows are all the same color as the shutters. I am not sure if that should change in the future. @uoflcardfan77 Thanks Kevin! Great tip on the door. I will check your website out....See More1970s yellow brick with brown house needs updating
Comments (15)I think those grays are too dark, & white mat be too bright( for garage doors). Something softer but maybe creamy or tawny. Because the garage is prominent and not so great to emphasize the doors. More make it look like part of the house mass and balance with landscaping and front door. I usually am wary of mixing gray with yellow because the grays are often too cold- though there are some classic yellow, gray and white color schemes. Maybe a light greige as Patricia showed. I don’t care for the garage, gables and roof all dark— it’s as though the rest of the house is a tiny blip. Maybe continue with some of the visualizations, going closer to the brick color but not exactly. Or if it’s easier, use a paint company app and pretend your brick is paint so you find something close to that color in the deck , and put in gables & trim & such in various colors....See Morechloebud
