What color on my new home to make more inviting and warm?
Comments (10)https://www.houzz.com/photos/custom-homes-rustic-exterior-dallas-phvw-vp~53922691 I agree the shutters do not enhance anything and need to go. Do you have the budget to add some stone to add character? Even if you did a veneer of stone under the porch railing, it would help to add warmth and charm. I would box out the traditional posts with rustic wood. Given the new roof color I would paint the body of the house a darker shade of sage green or a deep cornflower blue.

Comments (3)I would not paint the brick. You take a no maintenance product and turn it into a long term maintenance issue. Deco has a good idea of beefing up the columns. If a new front door is not in the budget then paint the one you have and add a POP of color to the front of the house, drawing the eye to the entrance. None of your windows are appropriate for shutters. They would have to be so wide to cover the windows that they would not look right. If you're going to use white then use one color of white for the trim and the windows. If you use two different whites the one on the trim is going to end up looking dingy when seen with the windows. Your shingles are a brown so I would stay away from black. You could paint the trim taupe (brown/gray), sage green, etc. and leave the windows white. If you wanted to do a porch rail I would paint it the same color as the trim. New landscaping would of course also help.

Comments (9)You sounded uncertain about the colors you had selected, related to the cool tones. So it seems the balance might be easier to work out once you have the paint on the large expanse of cabinets to balance the cool tones of the other large pieces. For example, you might end up concluding that the problem with the colors you originally identified is that they are too dark, not that they go too far to the warm spectrum....See MoreCan you help me choose a trim color for my newly painted house?
