Paint color for doors and shutters on brown house with brown roof?
Comments (4)This is the best I can do on pictures, it is a dark and rainy day. The stains on the roof will be power washed off soon. I have ordered white window boxes for the two windows on the right. I would like to brighten up the doors/shutters, as the house across the street has this same color palette....See MoreNeed help choosing paint color for my front door.
Comments (14)I think you have to take certain things into account when choosing a door color and ask yourself, do you want it to be a reflection of your personality, or do you want it to be what everyone expects? With that said, is there an HOA that limits self expression? What region do you live in, and whats acceptable? So, anyone could sit here and say, red, yellow, blue, purple or whatever. It can be whatever you chose it to be, as you really have a neutral base. You can go wherever the wind blows you. Have fun with it!!! I'm sure anything color will be awesome, as you have a beautiful home with lots of curb appeal.....See MoreShutters or no shutters? Front door color?
Comments (15)I love a wood front door, but with the covered front porch, it looks like the door would disappear into the shadows if it were wood or even too dark colors. If your front door has white trim around it then a wood or darker door works IMO. I can't tell from the pics posted if you have much trim around the front door or not. Right now we are getting the black hole effect on your lovely home. Try a lighter, brighter accent color or even a soft color for your front door. What is your favorite color? Try that :) The front door should be the accent color and not the same color as your proposed shutters. ^This one is surrounded by white trim and sidelites so it doesn't recede into the shadows....See MoreColor for my front door
Comments (21)mimimomy, When we build our Ryan Home, our HOA standards were all brick fronts...then, of course, Ryan left and the custom builders came in and didn't abide by the guidelines (which no one actually enforces anyway!)- and now there are all these beautiful modern homes with both siding and brick or stone fronts. I never thought of adding siding to the front of the house, I like that blue but not sure it would go with my other siding (which I also don't like) which is like a cream color. :( I think for now I am interested in updating the door and possibly trim color, and porch and go from there! I love the idea of updating the lights too and want to add landscaping lights once I figure out what I want! I also like the idea of updating the hardward on the door. I am not sure how I would go about adding rectangular glass to the front door, (something a general contractor would do?) but I do like the idea- depending on the price!...See MoreLaura Lachance
