Stucco exterior paint color dilemma

2 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...

Did not see celerygirl 's mock-up before I did mine, but they are very close. I didn't indicate in my mock-up, but I would also paint the dark brown wood siding the same color as the stucco.

Keep the faux timber details on your home they add interest and texture. Here are some homes with stone that is similar to yours. I think your home could benefit from contrasting paint trim around the windows & perhaps actual wood for the 'timbers' on your stucco. Any paint colors should be pulled from the colors in your stone except for the bronze for the windows. I think your home could look much better with upgraded garage doors like you see below.

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 ...
