Paint ideas for Tudor style exterior

2 years ago

Thinking about purchasing and renovating this house. Definitely will cleanup/remove the trees but what colors (brick, stucco and beams) will give it that wow factor?

Hard to see the condition of the brick.
I might leave the brick untouched
Paint the stucco and those Tudor style trim boards white.
I’d do something interesting with the doors. Maybe replace them with something wood... and some updated outdoor lighting. very nice home. Doesn’t seem to need much on the exterior.

I'm not seeing much wrong with the house - what does "wow factor" mean to you??? Two things - replace the garage door with dark wood...the color of the darkest brick (or match your front door - can't tell if it is wood or painted), and then add color to your landscape.

Tudor is not really a style that is common in this area, and most of the ones I've seen are the standard white and brown. Here's a few pics I found on Google: Might be white, but appears creamy yellow: Might be real brick, but a brick like colour might be nice (I can't figure out how to make this pic a little smaller, sorry): This one looks dark taupe-grey with cream trim: Although the same house in different lighting appears almost green: This one looks like a reddish-cedar trim: This one is very light and bright: Hmm - Reverse Tudor? I think lighter coloured trim with a darker wall looks a little more Arts and Crafts than Tudor, but is still nice: Carrie

Agree. Diamond. Even modest little ranches in the 70's had diamond shapes everywhere. A home like yours, with more semi authentic styling, wouldn't look right with the square. But, there's nothing wrong with your current door that a good electrician and better lighting plan inside the home wouldn't cure. It would be cheaper too. Also, paying an arborist to limb up the trees somewhat would be a way to lighten everything up. It might be a multi year plan though, given the age and character of those great old trees.

I'm sure it will not hurt your feelings if I confess I like the bottom of your house much more than the upper. I would want to draw the eye more to the pretty details on the ground floor and away from that large gable. I made the upper a darker color and trimmed your landscaping. I can see that you love to garden but only ugly houses need to be completely hidden by plants. Show off your pretty brick. I love the soft contrasts in the brick colors. The other features I thought needed more contrast. I would use brighter trim. You don't have to tear down the timbering but just paint it the same as the stucco. I'm not a pro so my images are crude. Use your imagination.

I like the shingle/trim color it is now. Repaint in a similar tone. I don’t like the front door/storm/shutters(?). Remove shutters, repainting door AND storm: B.M Dinner Party Red B.M. Blue Porcelain

The brick color/style and mahogany-stained door feel out of place. For more cohesion, I would whitewash the brick to a tone that coordinates with the body color. Then, either darken (black) or lighten (blonde wood finish) the entry door. For a final touch, update the exterior lighting.

How about picking up the dark brown of the brick with a light tan?
