I'd leave the lattice as it is, it's natural finish blends well with your plants. It already has that grayed look of aged cedar. Painting it would only add work now and in the future when it needs repainting. Lattice is not easy to paint. When you need to replace it in the future I'd recommend changing to vinyl. All you need to do is hose it off to keep it clean. I would personally just paint the door a pretty yellow and stain the deck and stairs in a greige (gray, beige mix) that works well with the natural color of the lattice. To add more color you could plant flowers or use colorful pots on the deck railing. There are some that rest over the top of the railing or racks that hold pots that hang similar to the many storage items that hang over a door. https://www.google.com/search?q=over+the+railing+planters&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0CFgQsARqFQoTCJ6u9PWzlcgCFQYJkgode_QCNg&biw=1600&bih=731 Before a hail storm destroyed them, we had attached standard planters along our back deck railing with screws, sealing them with silicone caulk. As you can see in the picture below that one had been replaced, but we could no longer find all the sizes we needed to fill the whole railing.

With the shade of blue on the front of the house I would suggest A whitewash look on the trim.I think that would blend with the rest of the color.

Go with a darker version of the house color for the treads and lattice skirting (this will ground the house), keeping it monochromatic. Paint your front door a bright color - how about an apple green? Then repeat this color in your porch furnishings.

Tammy Robertson · Answer

I agree, paint the shutters , darker tone of the blue you have. If you want the deck to stand out then paint it the same as the shutters. Pai t your front door a totally different color do it stands out

I've seen blue houses this shade with red accents; doors, shutters, painted chair on porch. Very lovely and welcoming!

Charcoal grey

I would go with chocolate brown for deck, stairs and railings. Even the lattice. Dark gray would look too much like cement. And I think it would cheapen it. I agree with the apple green door, or myself, would go with yellow. Bright and cheery and welcoming for guests.

black for the shutters, white for the lattice and bright yellow for your front door

Kea Interiors · Answer

keep deck white, tan for lattice and red stair treds for a pop of color (you already have a red flag in the yard)

Sharp12227 · Answer

Dark blue shutters. get rid of the lattice and put up T1-11 wood siding instead of lattice for a solid look and paint the T1-11 dark blue same as the shutters. Paint the the stair treads gray and keep the railing a fresh crisp clean white. For the front door paint the same dark blue OR paint the door white and paint the trim around the door dark blue to make an impact. Also, make a flagstone or paver type walkway leading up to the stairs and get white porch rocking chairs. Trim out the border of your gardens with stone, use red mulch to fill in garden areas. If you keep the lattice get some sort of trim or moulding to transition between the siding and the lattice, paint it white.
