Can anyone give me some suggestions for color for the porch deck and front door color and style? Should those colors be the same? the color options I have for the porch deck are pictured below along with a picture of the house. Thanks!

I don't think the porch and door color need to match. In our beach town many of the new houses have ipe porches, which weather gray, and either stained saepele doors or pretty painted colors, usually blues and greens. I like shaded auburn for your deck.

Hey I saw on a different post you were wanting Sherwin Williams paint color options for a new build. Have you picked out kitchen tile, backsplash, cabinet color etc? I have some options put together that you might like.

I hope the walkway planned is at least 4’ wide. With a white house, I think you could really play with a front door color. You need a landscaping plan and the plants can echo the door color.

Remove the shutters they actually detract form the windows the house is such a mish mash of styles i would keep the front door a simple one painted the same as the house that entry has so much going on no need for anything else.IMO the front porch is all wrong for the house and I would remove it and replace the doors with a large window to make it look like it was never a porch.Sorry but the architect that designed this house should get another job.

So much of this depend on whether you want to make this look right….it is two obviously different sections… completely different windows…doors…and a ton of personality on the tiny side……pretty blah on the major portion …..every effort should be made to unify the curb appeal….it is my opinion that adding some cute to the big side is the way to go….for re- sale later on …and for your enjoyment every time you come home

I like the top left. Your exterior color is lovely. What is it?

My cottage is very similar in color. I'm doing a gray stain on the porch floor and a red front door. I don't want a really bright red. I like Carriage Red by Benjamin Moore but I have not made any decisions yet.

We decided to paint the interior Agreeable Gray by Sherwin Williams. It was a tough decision since the entire house (including ceilings) needed to be the same color to avoid the up charge. The kitchen cabinets were just ordered and are white with a gray island. The countertops will be Cambria Summerhill. Haven't chosen a backsplash yet and also need to pick out lighting. Any suggestions?

Agreeable Gray by sherwin williams is actually the color I would suggest! I like Pure white for the trim.

For the rest of this, I am going to make a list of suggestions.

tile: Baja Tecate (12x24) with sahara beige grout (matches agreeable gray wonderfully)

carpet: ride it out -whisper (shaw floors)

stain- weathered wood. It's a gray stain. I would do a heavy stain on shaker style cabinets. (I know you're wanting white, but this is just for thought). perhaps bathroom cabinets?

cabinetry hardware: Remington with barpull hardware (something like Hickory Hardware Bar Pull in stainless steel finish) They're very clean looking, and I love having actual handles instead of the little knobs on cabinets.

countertops (kitchen): viatera quarts- cirrus

backsplash: Nove Hex- Steel Mix with frost grout

kitchen sink: siligranite- single bowl -anthracite black (I LOVE the single bowl sinks)

bathroom vanity tops and showers: gray swirl (I don't have more information on this at the moment, but I can post pictures of what I am referring to)

for lighting, door knobs, faucets, etc: keep things brushed nickel and chrome

I googled your counter tops, and found this picture... Inspiration? :)

Also, I agree with BruceFan9. Spiced Teak, top left, looks the best. It will look great against the shade of Blue you have picked.

Leasf: thank you for your time and suggestions - very much appreciated. The picture is definitely inspiration, but it really doesn't do the quartz justice - it has so much more to it in person. My thought is the same as yours for the lighting, faucets, door knobs, etc. I think we are definitely on the same page.

As for the decking, we chose rustic walnut. Driving around we found the same color house with the rustic walnut and it looked great so we went with it.
