Help selecting paint colors for our tudor exterior
Comments (19)When we bought our house the previous owners had painted the timbers to match the original (water-stained, never painted) stucco. I wanted it to look more like a traditional Tudor so I took a shade from the darkest brick for the timbers and something close the mortar color (but a bit warmer) for the stucco. I love your stone! If I had your house I'd take a dark shade from the stone, and considering the roof color, use a brown for the timbers and a natural stucco color as in Pal's example. Remember the that the sun can fade or wash out the paint when you pick your colors... There are many Tudor style homes here (Kansas City area) and I see so many variations. A lot homes with stone do the timbers in a lighter tone than the stucco and they look great too, more French Country IMO. Your present colors don't suit the stone or the roof - but you have so much potential!!! Good luck!...See MoreExterior paint colors for tudor w/ blue roof
Comments (1)I think I would just use the colors of the brick and stone for the siding I see the blue quite clearly on the gables , such a weird choice for roof color but oh well . I think I might add some blue landscaping to bring the roof into the picture since it is there and not going anywhere. A nice walkway from the street to take your eye to something besides the roof....See MoreExterior paint for a tudor revival?
Comments (10)IMO, the turret does’t make it ”Tudor”, though it is admittedly a unique feature of the house. I would paint the brick, chimney and turret. It will give you a fresh look all the way. Neighbors of mine painted their (brick) house Benjamin Moore Swiss Coffee (OC-45); its a beautiful soft white. Easy to look at - not glaring optic white - and easy to work with/accent . It may not be the right tone to your stone window wells, or enough contrast to your white windows, but a place to start. You might consider coordinating colors with the stone window-well, so the tones don’t clash. That way, you will be able to find a compatible color with the right undertones no matter what direction you go. If you go to the ”whites”, consider the white of the exterior windows (and back door?); you’ll want enough contrast that looks intentional vs. hit-and-miss. A pop of color at the front door inside the turret could be fun! Since you will be painting the house trim and eaves, maybe paint them the white of the existing windows to tie things together. I would definitely paint the stucco foundation…. a deeper/“heavier”/weighted coordinating color on the color strip or color wheel. Again, it will be a fresh look and ”ground”/balance the color above on the siding/clapboard. If you’re unsure or uncomfortable in selecting colors, most interior designers offer (hourly?) color consultations without the commitment of engaging them for an entire project. Garage: Maybe an opportunity to paint the trim white (as the house trim and windows) [color #1], the garage sides and automatic door one of the house colors [color #2], and the gable the 3rd color, echoing all the fresh new colors of the house. Good luck; please post color decisions, progress, and finished project....See MorePaint ideas for Tudor style exterior
Comments (5)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....See MoreSigrid
