6 years agoI'm tired of the "south Florida Flamingo pink" lol and am looking to update to a more "modern-ish" color scheme while keeping the house feel of "beachy/Bahamas" feel. Having difficulty matching with the peach tile roof! TIA for your help! Below is a better picture with the roof recently cleaned.... Oh and we love teal as maybe a door or shutter or some sort of accent color....

6 years agoTake the shutters off. Paint the house a pale yellow (including the garage door) with a bright blue door. Get new, large black sconces. Create a new garden bed with native plants and no lawn to the left. Or consider hardscaping the front of the house and put a couple bright blue chairs and small table out there.

Comments (18)What a wonderful project. And how nice that the house is set back so that different areas of transition can be created. Will you be growing tall trees so the home is eventually sheltered in dappled shade? Lower landscaping so the house rises above washed with sunshine? Do you want a rather mysterious look with a narrow area of accented house intriguing and drawing the eye in , making people going by try to see more? Do you want an open look with the property lushly foliaged but the house very much on display, serenely or exuberantly? If you have a image in mind of what you want, style, mood and light included, you could then drive around both creative older and expensively landscaped neighborhoods looking for ideas to realize it. Color choices made then? These mostly lack the rich color you want, but I was mostly thinking first of how it might be dressed with garden. :) Lush elsewhere, perhaps, but close in as open and airy as the interior? I'm really not crazy about brown in general, but even I think a brown reminiscent of wet tree trunks works wonderfully to accent and tie inside, transition areas, garden together. The previous property uses it also....See MoreNeed help with exterior paint color for South florida home.

Comments (10)Are those some kind of storm shutters that close across the windows? Are you sure they are paintable? If you search this site for photos of "red tile roof" you'll see lots of inspiration pix.

Comments (7)Something tall and skinny for passing boats or passing gators? How about the common house plant False Aralia, Plerandra elegantissima. The other aralias that are not the genus aralia either that are worth looking into are Polyscias fruticosa cultivars. I would not plant them as a hedge, only as vertical accent in the bromeliads. This may be more a tropical look than modern. Tropical Mawdernn...See More

6 years agoKeep in mind that the color we're reading on our screens may not be the actual color of your roof. So a pale yellow may or may not work. Consider buttercream. Here are some beachy houses with pale reddish roofs.
Very, very pale gray even though gray isn't really a tropical color:

I agree that those shutters need to be removed.
Pompano Beach Custom Home · More InfoI also like the white stucco with Bahama type shutters for your home. There are many different colors you can use depending on the ultimate siding color you choose.

6 years agoIn fashion I like the combination of aqua and peach. You say you're roof is peach but I see some brown in it. I think a subdued grayed out shade of aqua would work and still feel beach like
If I owned your house I'd go with off white. I have a weakness for white houses with tile roofs.
