Exterior paint suggestions please!

3 years ago

Looking for exterior paint ideas. Was thinking about staying white because its safe and I am having a hard time figuring out paint with the roof and stone.

Please no landscaping or other suggestions - we are on it!

Remove the awnings , if you need sun and heat protection do solar shades inside those awnings hide 1/2 the house.IMO white is the wrong color for the house you need to respect the stone and the roof both of which to me say go a light taupe . Also the gargae the same color . The steps and handrail need to be darker and not white storm door , in fact if all you need the storm door for is a screen remove it and get a phantom screen then do the front door in a color that you like depending on the taupe you choose.

I would stay with white also - keeps a unified look with the garage and awnings.

I think it looks nice now, but do see some pinkinsh tones in the one pic. Cute house. How about SW6002 Essential Gray or 6003 Proper Gray? I think your house would look very cute in gray with white trim. Or 6247 Krypton or 6248 Jubilee? Those are slightly more blue-gray with green tones in them. Actually 6248 is still beachy but has a green hue as I look at it inside. Not sure if it will hold that color outside. I like the green you like and think it is ok for beachy, but think I might lighten it a shade or two.

I just painted my house BM 312 Crown Hill Yellow and I am so happy with it! I found three houses in my town that had a cheery yellow that appealed to me. I asked at all of the houses (left notes) and all 3 came back to me saying, Crown Hill Yellow. So the color picked me! Scaffolds are still up at my house, so I don't have a picture, but I can attest it is a bright cheery yellow, without any orange, that looks good on my 1920 New England home. Even the neighbors have called to say bravo. Which was a relief for me because it is a big YELLOW! Good luck and have fun picking. I opted for white trim, not creamy, I have a white portico, white columns, white window trim, etc. Like you, lots of white trim! Semi:

Someone in a recent post painted their garage doors a faux wood paint treatment and it looks great. If you can’t buy new wood doors, maybe you could try painting them. I think wood would look nice here.

Beautiful house. The new windows are quite white. I'd choose new white paint that is almost but not quite as bright white as the new windows to repaint the stucco. The same brown color you have now on the wood trim would be an excellent choice again. Have the company trim the shrubs so that their tops are a foot below the window sills and a foot away from the walls. The plants need air to circulate and the painters need room to move.

I agree the awnings aren't working. White is very stark with the stone. Consider the light taupe PC suggested or something that works better with the stone colors. Think about a garage door with glass panels across the top.

I tried a very light tan and it looked good, but I like contrast of a rich brown with a rust colored door.

A dark teal also works!
