Stucco exterior paint color dilemma

3 years ago

What colors to paint our stucco home? I LOVE light colored painted brick. We have coined corners and almost tacky trim areas around all windows and doors. Thoughts? Maybe we shd trim shrubs n trees?

What about all white. And maybe very dark navy just on the trim of the windows and possibly the front door

Thank you! And maybe... I’m afraid to go too white tho. And I’m not sure what to do with the detail around the windows. I love the tone on tone look, like in this picture. But I’m not sure I can achieve that look since I don’t hv shutters. Can I paint the detail around the windows in a slightly darker tone and achieve something close to this? Not sure...

Thank you for asking-- it is almost fnished and we are very happy. We went with SW white duck cut by 50% for the walls, and BM cape may cobblestone for the trim.

I need pictures. What color was the stucco before? I do not see any blue undertone in SC so that is why I am asking what the old stucco color was.

You have a lovely house ..white stucco with some charcoal grey with blue undertones for some trim areas and garage door would be very refreshing in a sea of beige to taupe track homes, a kind of California modern look. Changing the look of the garage door to either match your pergola color or a trim color will go a long way to update , giving you great curb appeal. The red tile roof gives you some thing to run with for bumping up the style. I would add some Saltillo tile for the porch and walkway to repeat that roof color , some new lighting that's larger in scale and some more structural plantings such as blue agave.

Yes. Definitely achievable. Love the look of that. Really nice. Notice how they painted the gutters black. I think that would also look amazing on your house. Also LOVE LOVE LOVE that brown door! Go for it!!!

I know, those gutters are gorgeous! So much symmetry going on w that house. And u can see the entire house. I think we hv to trim drastically or do away with some shrubs to expose our house more.

Yes. I meant to say that earlier. Totally forgot. Try to do boxwoods by your house rather than bushes or trees ...
