Design Dilemma Exteriors Paint

Help can’t decide on colour!

4 years ago

Please can you help me. Still Feeling so stuck about what colour to make the former window and garage. Not sure if they should match and if the dormer would look better in grey or look ridiculous against the roof.
No plans to render or replace dormer.

Would really appreciate your guidance!

Dormer and garage door shouldn't HAVE to match, but there should be some coherence/palette on the exterior. If you want a more fun color on your garage door, make sure it goes with other surfaces on the house.

Personally I think a dormer in the same color as your roof looks better. And I really like your garage door. Perhaps try black?

And if you do decide on grey, I'd suggest cement grey for both door and dormer, it'll go with the mortar and lead.

Sure sarah -- the bed is Target, believe it or not, as is the chandelier. You might even find a better deal on the lighting.

I agree with the lighter cabinets for the upper and the darker for the lower. I really love the look of this tile for your backsplash but there is no info given, therefore, cannot tell you what it is. http://houzz.com/photos/653687

Maybe if you stuck to one colour scheme such as white and purple or grey and lime green, colours that compliment each other. You could have a cabinet on the larger side with some family photos or a mirror above it and maybe a single colour on the top half of the wall and a complimentary wallpaper on the bottom half. You could go for wood on the floor or a simple soft carpet but it might get muddy. You could also have a bench with storage underneath for shoes and bags, but try get a colour that matched the walls. You could also paint the banisters if they don't match the rest of the room.

Hello Catrine

What I would do is make sure the the color dormer and the wall lighter non obtrusive colow. and go for statement colours on the garage door.

The door would be either a Banana Yellow, Garden Pink or Cool Breeze color.

What I would do is make sure the the colorer the walls lighter and go for statement colours on the door.

The dormer and wall would either be a cool grey/Dark grey or a darker slate colour.

Let us know how it goes and share the after pictures

You can't really change the Dormer windows without changing all the windows on the front of the house as they all need to match.

You could stay with white and just change the Garage door though.

Alternatively go for changing all the doors and windows, so something more like this:-
