What color should I paint my garage door?
Comments (16)We have a house in our neighborhood that is the same as yours in style, age and both siding and brick colors. Their garage and trim are the brown you’re considering and it doesn’t add anything to it, if anything it looks dated and old. :c( The reason, the colors in the mock ups Lars did don’t work AT ALL, is because there is nothing else around or on the house in those colors to balance it out. It’s also really impossible to say if they’d look good or bad with the brick from a picture especially when there are so many different shades of a specific color to work with. The only way you’d know for sure what will work and what won’t is to put some samples up with the siding color you’re going to use so you can see it up close and personal. That said, I can see why the purple isn’t something you or most people even would want to do. The gray in Beverly’s mock up looks good because not only does the brick have gray in it’s mix, but she’s also incorporated it elsewhere in the view to balance it out, not to mention that it’s a neutral color that is easy on the eyes. I’ve never understood the notion of trying to make a garage door less obvious. A garage door that faces the street is a large part of the front, why would anyone want to make it look like there’s a big dark hole in the space instead of using it in a way that helps the overall design? Especially when you already have an area between the house and garage that is also fairly dark. IMO the gray looks really sharp and would be pretty and unexpected with the taupe. It’s a fresh look and both of them are neutral colors that will allow you to add as much color by the way of flower beds and trees as you want....See Morehelp with new siding color and trim/gutters
Comments (8)Celery, we liked Pebblestone but you have to go with a different color for soffit and trim so we eliminated. My husband nixed any greys with our brown roof. I like the house with the dark color and white trim, the windows are new and bronze so we are not painting them. Thank you for your suggestions. J SK, very nice, we’ve got that same stone on an outdoor fireplace in another house. I like your bronze trim with the dessert sand. The dessert sand up against current is darker, husband thinks it won’t show as much dirt as the linen. For some reason we collect an amazing amount of dirt on this house. Everyone around us has full lawns, so we are clueless where it comes from!...See MoreWhat color should my siding be? Brick house, painting gutters, etc
Comments (6)what if you added some gable truss accents? (all diff styles, sizes and colors) tried to photoshop two for you This one is Urbane bronze trim w/the dark gutters. this brick is shoji white, but you get the idea of how it would look. I like the natural wood accents and think a few trusses might look nice on yours. This is stone, but just to show what a dark trim resembles. your roof is lighter, so you'd use the bronze tones instead of this black Creamier trim w/charcoal gray siding are these the color gutters you like? if you want a lighter gray trim like this one try modern gray w/this darker bronze on the accents. or do modern gray on the siding, and urbane bronze on the fascia trim and gutters Your pic is really small, but I tried to photoshop urbane bronze on your siding. Why not get some paint samples and try them out to see what you like?...See MoreWhat colors should I use for gutters, trim, doors?
Comments (3)Medium gray roof, remove the shutters on the front. The right shade of taupe sounds like a good idea if you don't like the idea of green. Since the roof is urgent, deal with that and then start sampling colors for the siding. BM has a lot of good colors for exteriors in their Historical Colors. Don't commit to a color until you have looked at a large scale sample on all sides of the house (you can always paint a board and move it around) during various times of day and weather conditions. Too many people have their whole house painted and don't end up liking the color. Paint the garage door the same color as the siding - white is not doing your house any favors. Your front door could be black....See Morechloebud
