what color windows should we go with

last year

We are getting new windows and front door. We don’t want to go with white, and we don’t want to go with black, do you think we should go with gray and paint all the white grey to match? And get a wood door?

On your other post about your brick, someone showed a brick house with sage green trim. Very pretty combination.

I wouldn’t go with gray.

I like black.

But if you don’t, maybe consider navy?

You're plan looks lovely and by window I'm thinking you mean the largle glass doors in the dining room. From the plan it's hard to see how much room is available but I can visualize some nice gauzy curtains. Nate Berkus makes lovely ones and they give the sea shore feeling. You could put them on rings so they could move easily and then either a small shelf to the right with a set of binoculars or a telescope. Most telescopes don't get much use but binaculars do. I don't think anything else is necessary. If someone were to use the binoculars they could pull over one of those lovely chairs and relax.

Consistency is best, but there can be a certain consistency in non-uniformity. Are the stained windows within one room? Are the french doors? One option that you have that also has historical antecedents is a stained door with white trim, windows/ trim, and baseboards, and you could do this throughout the house for a certain amount of consistency. If the windows with the stained trim are all in one room, perhaps that entire room could have stained woodwork. Note that doing stain grade doors throughout the entire house can get relatively pricey. The key is to have a rather consistent plan or hierarchy and following it.

Looks like a beautiful house. Love that it is red brick with red shutters! SO refreshing. I think it would be fine for kitchen and living room to have the same paint color. And it actually seems like the paint color that is currently there is working pretty well.

My first consideration in a bathroom is ease of cleaning. Your first consideration might be something different. But when I see your pictures, I see a humongous shower with a lot of grouted tile that might become a pain to clean. Aesthetics-wise, for a shower this size, I'd consider a larger bench or ledge for product storage. The corner built-in shelf looks tiny and lonely in this rendering. I don't know how accurate this rendering is in terms of size. Is it just a tile visualizer or are you building your bathroom like this? Make sure you really consider your real life requirements. As for the tile design, I'm not a fan of accent tiles for most installations because tile dates a bit too quickly for my budget and I have a low tolerance for patterns and "accents" so I prefer the walls in the first rendering to those in the second one.

I love tht sage with brick on the house deco posted. But I need a bit more info from you.Take the shutters off decide if you want those pillars or something different. And more important than anything is what style do you like?I wnet to your idea books and you like traditional so remove the MCM pillars and replace them with wood . but I would not do all the grids in the windows like you have now maybe just didived lights in the top . What material are you getting the windows in , like vinyl , aluminum , or wood? I rrely like gray with brick the nice sage is lovely but IMO works best when the windows are also that color..I think bronze and a very dark brown might work for siding. I think if you want gray it has to be close to black and can be quite attractive,you do need to understand the style you want.

What is the manufacturer of the replacement windows? Aluminum or vinyl. Post the color chart. I hope you have not selected vinyl replacement windows. The profile is so very large and really changes the appearance of the home.

Here is the Pella Window Color Chart.

BTW if you are replacing windows I would eliminate the bow window and replace it with a different combination of either all casement or casement and a picture window in the center.

Gray would work nicely with your brick. Light gray for trim, a darker shade for garage door. A house near me has that scheme and it looks clean and modern without going overboard. Sage-green is sort of like a warm gray, can present the same tone/value.

A wood/wood-look door is nice, if you don't want to use the front door for a pop of color. (Pale butter yellow could be awesome with gray or sage.....)
