exterior color help?!!?

8 år sedan

Hi there

We are adding a second story to an existing ranch home that has brown sandstone exterior (not really a facade, or we'd take it off...). I need help choosing a modern color scheme of siding and roof to go with a beige/ brown sandstone. I really like dark grey or blue and white, but I can't seem to find one that matches.... help! first picture is an upclose of the color of the stone, second is the original house....

I suggest picking up your favorite colors/shades from the existing exterior stone to keep the look harmonious with the original construction.

This is what I incision, add timber for shutters and garage for accents, this will update it and then you could use the blue on the door

You seem to have a very green & leafy section. Have you considered a medium to lightish green / grey tone for the house paint. The brick work should wotk in contrast with all natural colours as it is an earthen piece of nature. I would then aďd accents of colour e.g. white window frames as they always look fresh or match the window frames with the roof which could be a dark charcoal colour. You could also use this colour for your front & garage doors. You want the house 2 blend into its environment. Stone is a good here to start with & it can be used again in the garden.

From what I can see, it may be a bit brown-ish, but not so much. Almost a bit "greige". I think a dark blue would complement it nicely. If you go too light with a color it will be too close to the color of the stone. But a dark slate-ish blue would look beautiful. Something like this:

I think blue's have wider appeal at re-sale than green. And a bit more sophistication.

Here's some blue houses from Pinterest:

The best money I ever spent was having a decorator look at colors with me. Their vision and color perception can save you big $ in having to repaint. This is the voice of experience speaking! Lol
