Exterior Paint Dilemma!
Comments (2)Because you have a lot of brown roof showing a sage green would look great. Another option is to spend some money on beautiful deep landscaping. Here's a taupey color with a hint of green with a brown roof.

Comments (8)If you're not painting the siding now I would probably paint the garage door the same color as the siding. I agree with getting rid of the shutters. When you replace the posts I would go with something more substantial as the existing ones look too small. You could look at painting the windows going in two directions, lighter (creamy white) or darker (espresso). If you decided to paint the siding I think that opens up more options for you. The plum color on the doors doesn't seem to really work with the brick. A dark rust color or maybe even a warmer dark taupe (gray brown) would work. When you do paint the doors I would pain the one from the garage the same color as the garage door so the main front door becomes a focal point.

Remove the obscuring shrubs if you want to show the house to best effect. Replace with much shorter perennials. You could choose formal beds with a few coordinating colors or informal beds with a wider range of lively colors....See MoreRekha
