Siding choices!

5 years ago

Building a house and choosing siding color! We have decided we like the picture below and want to try and stay similar to it. Any suggestions on brand and colors would best match with it!
Thanks in advance for any information or details!

Good question! Some solid Sherwin-Williams colors you may want to consider are: Gibraltar, Grays Harbor, and Outerspace. We recently used a color called Cyberspace, it may be a little dark compared to the grey in the photo but it's definitely worth checking out. Good luck!

idk about color but if I may say, the house has way too many different sidings. I think the stone would be great as foundation only, then either the clapboard OR the board-and batten.

What a beautiful house, Shahbaaz! I live in a similar house - a 150-year-old colonial bungalow in Kumaon. You have already received lots of excellent advice from better-qualified people, so all I would say is, keep its age and heritage character the central theme. The white tiles do clash, I am afraid ... flooring with terracotta tiles would echo the roof and look lovely. The columns and the arches over the doors and windows are amazing. But I'd say, leave it all chuna-painted - there's a beauty and softness to it. Don't let the painters add too much neel (indigo) in the limewash -- in the hills where I live, they put far too much if I don't watch out and the result is a harsh white. Natural lime has a softer, creamy look.

Hello Sir, I do not understand- what do you mean by "changing the wall Designs." For coloring/wall papers/textured painting it is better to have finished wall. For wall cladding/tiling it is OK to have a non finished wall as well as they require a rough surface. For changing the tiles, its quite a messy, and wasteful expense. Rather, you can give the tiles of your choice to builder to install on the first go itself. Some builders don't allow such requests but others would happily do so. Some others may even offer a discount for not using their tiles. Same thing with paint as well you can give your colors to them to paint if you are not happy with white. Thanks, Nitin CORNERSTONE DESIGNS Bangalore.

your staircase block is nice. use natural store cladding, if cost permits, else some nice stone designed tiles should also do the trick. as per the tile/stone, you can either go with the similar family for the rest of the wall painting. ensure the moldings/projections are painted in lighter tone than the walls, so that they do subtly stand out.

do you have the interior designing and finishes finalized? as I mentioned earlier, everything in the room has to be tied together. I cannot give you a colour for the arch if it is going to clash with the window frame job, or the cabinets or the wood. In case you don't, I can help you with that. we offer consulting services, which is basically this, the help on Houzz, in a lot more detail.

Use the stone only around the foundation and the board and batten around the rest of the house. Use the shakes only in the gables and paint it all the same color. Add a colorful front door.

Like greenish said, there is too much going on and your eye doesn't know where to focus on. Plus the stone looks fake and stuck on. Stone should look like it's an integral part of the house. Like it "could" be holding up the house or the walls. Not stuck on like wallpaper.

This is the look of our outside, we are just trying to find some grays that we like, seems like all colors we look at don’t match up the way we want them to

Very cute house. I like the color in the mock-up. While the stone work and siding here are better than in the other pic, it is still applied randomly to the bottom 1/3. It should LOOK structural, not decorative and therefore I would use it on the foundation only OR up to the eaves, 5hen use siding on gables. It will look great.
