Comments (4)Have you done "test spots" of the gray on the brick yet? If not, I'd start there. You may need to paint the siding a different color, depending on how the Romabio ends up looking. Looks like you have a very light and cool bluish-gray right now. If the brick ends up looking warmer, then I'd suggest a warmer contrasting color for the siding.. Also - once you do the brick, are you looking to change the door colors? Looks like you have two front doors, I'd personally change the color of the main door and paint the second door the same color as either the brick or the siding. I'm sure other folks will chime in about adding landscaping.....See MoreNeed ideas for exterior paint to go with pink brick on ranch house
Comments (5)Dark gray or medium gray for the stucco above the brick - yes. Paint garage door to match the stucco color you ultimately choose. Paint your front door an accent color. Choose your accent color after you have painted the stucco and garage door. Your green front door might even work as is depending upon the stucco color you select. I like how these colors work with the brick on the insp pic below. Shutters - no. Remove them. You don't need them.

Comments (7)Your brick is very attractive. I like that part. I do think you could use either a new garage door, or repaint the one you have to the bronze color of your windows, or the color of your trim. Right now, when you glance at the house, all you see is that bright yellow garage door. I dont mind the front door, but, it should be a nice brighter color that will show exactly where the front entrance is at a glance. I dont like the two mounded bushes on each side of the doorway. Its hard though, to see just what you do have for landscaping, since you have quite a bit of snow there yet. In the spring, put some nice potted plants in your entry way. Bright colors, and a nice colorful mat in front of the door. The house needs a bit of color and landscaping is a good way to get that....See MoreRelated Professionals
