advice on home front trim/porch/garage door color
Comments (1)Question one: I would not paint the garage door the siding color. It would keep it the same color. Question two: IDK. Color needs to complement and also must be done in the right percentages. I have seen homes like yours in Aberdeen, NJ with the same brick color and used white as the window trim and it worked Question three: What ever color you use on the sidelites should also be the posts. Question Four: A retractable screen will look fine as long as it is installed cleanly. Question five storm door trim should match the sidelites. THere are internet websites you can use to choose colors. You choose the style of home and add colors to the trim, garage and siding to see if the colors work. The issue is what looks good on the computer is not the same on the home. Every single paint color is made with different percentages of color thus when you paint different colors emerge depending on what color is nearby. Hawthorne yellow is a green yellow on my exterior home whereas in an interior room it has a butter yellow. I painted a home recently a cream wheat color but it is a light yellow on the clapboards. FInd an artist. Find an art student and ask them their opinion. They tend to understand color and percentage of color on any project....See Moreadvice on exterior paint colors: front door, garage door, curb appeal
Comments (14)Snap a photo on a sunny day then use the Sherwin Williams ColorSnap app to play with the colors. I would select a tone slightly darker than your mortar for the garage door and a color slightly darker than your darkest brick for the front door. I would then on the garage door install magnetic faux hinges and windows; this will add detail to the door, like the below house. I know they can be found on Amazon, not sure where else.

Comments (4)I would not paint the brick. The brick is what makes your house stand out and I do not like grays or blues with brick.Do the siding the same as the window trim and you could do the garage door the same . Then go to work with landscaping that will up the MCM look much more than paunting the brick....See MoreCurb appeal advice (columns, garage door, front door)
Comments (1)Paint the garage door the same color as the house. The garage door isn't really a feature on your house, especially once it's a flat panel and will distract from what you are trying to do with the front door and porch. The roof is super, but it is very busy so you want to be sure not to have too many elements competing for attention. The pavers are great and will pop more once the garage door disappears into the house. You also have some really nice landscaping elements. Play all those things up, not the garage door....See MoreRelated Professionals
