Color scheme for red brick colonial home?
Comments (9)i wondered this all last spring. even took pics of neighborhood homes with red brick (some garden expert wrote a book i got from library about this issue - coordinating your house and landscape - but, sorry, can't remember the name!) For a while I considered movingto a white or light brown house where i can surround myself with beloved pink roses! I DO remember he said to go with white. However I reached my conclusions, I decided I really like varying shades of evergreen, with white and dark pink or red flowers, like japonica, white rhodies, red azaleas and reddish new-guinnie (sp?) impatiens. Of course, I'm partial to daffodils and plan to plant hundreds in same yard. But then yellow looks great with red, and it will only be in spring. I admit I'm only limiting this scheme to public areas (front and side), and also plan climbing roses and clematis in those colors on the sunny side. The other side is all hostas and ivy, and they look great against the brick. But in the back, my sanctuary and the area not framed by the house, are getting my favorite pinks and purples. You're the one who has to live with it, and unless you're REALLY concerned about resell value, go with what you love. Besides, things do grow on you. I used to hate red and purple, but my neighbor's red hat collection has caught my eye, and maybe i'll throw some purple clematis in with those red roses......See Moreexterior paint color for red roof colonial
Comments (10)Handsome house. There are a whole range of grays, so you do have to get the right one. I would pick a light shade. If you do go gray, how about white for the shutters? Unless you are thinking of removing them. The one double window should have them. I wouldn't paint the brick skirting. There isn't much and it add interest to the facade. I like the fence. Why are you removing it?...See Morewhite bungalow w red roof,red garage door,red front door,red brick
Comments (0)We need to remove brick under bay window because it’s falling off, but the rest is ok. We’d like to replace it with something else and paint the red brick to match whatever material we use, possibly charcoal to bring out the dark in roof. Thinking either vinyl stacked stone siding, vertical siding or vinyl shake siding. Also should we do the whole window wall or just under window. I’d love to keep garage door & front door red but give it a fresh coat....See MoreDutch Colonial Front Door Color
Comments (12)Your home is stunning! Yellow will be perfect. My front door is BM Dorset Gold. I think it would work for you in semi-gloss. I would get a full glass storm door so you can see the door. I agree the shutters are not right....See Morekandrewspa
