Design Dilemma Exterior

Help with my siding?

Sheila Williams

29 days ago

Hi there! My uncle wants to change his siding and needs suggestions! I’d like to think I have the answers, but the brick is distracting me! Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? As a side note, the brick stays and the trim remains white as does the garage door! Thanks so much, Sheila

With the nice bright whites on the house and dark bricks I would opt for a charcoal gray.

I suggest replacing the sconces with larger ones and since the brick seems quite dark perhaps white would be a better choice.

@orangecamera - we ended up going Tennessee Blue Stone and on the rest of the front of the house, played it a bit safe vs. cladding a section of the front of the house in wood, we put clear cedar on the underhang, around the front door, changed out the front door and got some more modern looking numbers. We loved it, and had a ton of interest when we sold the house, made a nice profit and moved cross country several years ago. Good luck!
