Door color, paint shutters and garage door

6 years ago

House is very bland for me! I need help with front door color and if I should paint garage door and shutters as well. I plan to wrap the post with cedar to update it.

The garage door should blend in so that it is not the focal point of this beautiful house. If you were keeping the same paint colors, I would suggest using the same color as the shutters. Choose one of the darker colors from the brick for the garage door to blend in.

Yes, let the garage door blend in to keep it from being such a focal point. Paint the front door and window trim a soft white or cream. A light color will help pull the door out of the shadows a bit. I would remove the shutters which don't really suit the house. Also, your larger window is too big for them. Good idea to update the post in front.

Is the brick mortar the light tan color it appears on my screen? If so, that might be another option for a light color.

Colour is fun but I don't feel yellow brown will be an inviting foil to the cream. Wood in that tone would be fine. How do you want to feel in your room? Fresh light airy? The. Go white. Cool edgy look - then add colour but be brave. Tomato red or Sea Blue or Coral.

Hi Gurdip. How often do you use the parking spaces and do you use both? Is the parking to the left of the camera shot or directly in front of the shutters? I might think about a mural painted on a board on wheels that could be moved ( if you only use one space) as I assume it would be difficult to paint direct. I also think your sofas are lovely! I would be inclined to make a separate seating arrangement with a table with them as they look as if they're trying to disguise the shutters at the moment. The area is lovely but might benefit from some large shrubs and trees.

I like the idea of wrapping your post in cedar. I agree that removing the shutters is a good idea. You could paint your soffits and window trim a color that closely matches your mortar. The current color of your post and overhang seems like it would work well. I would consider painting the garage door all one color. The darker color you have on there now should blend nicely with your brick. For your front door, I would pull the terracotta color from the brick to brighten it up. Love your flowerbeds!

There's definitely a lot you can do with this space! A quick, easy update that won't take a lot of time or resources as you're getting your other remodeling plans into place is to paint your door. Giving it a nice, bright color will help warm up the entryway and make it look immediately inviting. If you want to warm up the home even more, you can switch out the doorglass - check out our Spotlights collection for some inspiration!

I'd paint the shutters sage green. Paint the garage door in the brown color that is currently on it.
