Blonde Brick Home Accent Trim
I've seen a lot of posts on Blonde Brick accent colors but I haven't found a home that quite fits mine, so I am need of some help in trying to wake up this tired little Fort Worth home's exterior (landscaping will be done after painting). To the left, where the carport is
(which I am thinking about removing) is the garage which has aluminum siding. What colors would you go with to help make the home pop?

Pink brick house, accent color dilemma
Comments (29)As others have said, there are simply too many, disparate forms, shapes, colors, textures, details, and tomfoolery! The best strategy, IMO, is to look for ways to unite and blend together as many of these unrelated objects as possible. Reduce the amount of contrast, don't increase it. Less is truly more. More is a bore!...See MoreExterior accent colors for red orange brick house

Comments (6)Start with power washing the house, especially the roof, which takes up a large amount of visual space. The overall initial color impession is browns and reds. That's why your shed really doesn't blend well with the house. IMO, embrace your brown roof and the reddish brick and not try to go gray/blue. A light sage green might be a great compromise for trim. I wouldn't put shutters up at all. They don't particularly suit the house and it would save you some time and money to remove them. Paint the shed the same color as the trim you choose. As budget allows, get a landscape designer to plan extended garden beds in front to showcase your house with a mix of perennial grasses, shrubs, and flowering plants. That will do more for your house than the shutters and give you more visual pleasure....See MoreHelp please: New siding and trim accents for red brick house
Comments (3)It is highly unusual to have wood clad siding mixed with brick on a Georgian Colonial style house. I was thinking that board and batten would not work but then I came across this house. I think what makes it work is that the battens are low profile and space wide apart. It looks good. This isn't board and batten, but it would look good on your house. Something similar on the inside is called judges paneling. Notice how the the siding under the three windows is done on the house below. I also like the colors on this house. When you repaint, I would use a low contrast scheme. White on white would look good. Your windows are lined up so it doesn't look off that they are closer to one side. But I would remove all the shutters, since that don't fit the windows....See More

SW Urbane Bronze is an ultra-popular color, and for good reason — it goes so well with browns and tans. Peppercorn is another popular dark gray.
I’d wait until everything is painted, then decide on your porch floor.
You could do the front door in charcoal or red, or if budget allows, a wood front door.
Ignore the styles of these, just showing colors:
Landscaping is going to make such a huge difference, too.ETA: Definitely try a sample of whatever paint you decide around one of the windows first, to see what you think … as your windows are white aluminum (I think?) and the inspirations photos aren’t. I think it’ll be fine, but would test just in case.
