Help picking colors for house exterior.
Old (1925) bungalow that we moved into late last summer. Beige vinyl siding (probably original stucco underneath), sort of a creme colored fascia/soffit/etc, white vinyl windows, dark forest green window trim/door trim/shutters, brown wood door.
We are going to replace the stairs this summer (and paint and stain accordingly), and we will do something to the front door as well (refinish or paint), but it would be nice to find some cost effective solutions to help gel our color palette together before we do anything to those. Today, the four colors (green, white, creme, beige) just seems like a bit too much. Obviously, painting vinyl and aluminum is not ideal, but maybe it's cheaper than replacing anything. My initial thought is to paint everything that's green (shutters, trim, gutters) white, or maybe just the shutters. Would love your thoughts/ideas!

It would be nice to have a front door with more glass but if you are going to paint the one you have choose a color you like maybe even a red with a bit of a brown undertone to work with the siding Then get to work on landscaping it will make a world of difference

4 years agoI agree with Patricia, the white trim and added door glass would look very nice. It sounds like a fun project filled summer ahead, how exciting!
I'm more than happy to help out with some door mockups with your door. Here are some previous before and after photos from our talented Zabitat team. Let me know! :)

4 years agoAn expert paint person at the major paint stores can match your cream trim color with a paint to unify the trim with the aluminum parts. Match the downspouts to the color they lie against. This is just a little shed but the red and cream with a blue front door could be cute on your house. New landscaping will be the biggest change you can make aside from painting. Notice the red fence that matches the house color and the cream porch railing on the front.
