Hi there, I think a dark blue might be a nice contrast with the same color trim to make it all cohesive.
I'd leave it brick, but I'd paint trim on other part of house(greenside) white around windows and brown eaves to blend it all together. It's nice
If you want it all uniform ...brick color this needs the brick color for all of house,my opinion ,the rust gutter needs to be painted same as brick portion of home`s gutter,I see brick ,white and grey, the bright white of windows and door ...not really flowing here, accent the green color of your gutters for windows frames , door painting the recessed brick above back door same color as door,and add a iron ornamental fixture,some rose bushes and flowering plants...good luck
I'd paint the green white to match trim of the brick side; especially since you hate the green color (me too).
Paint same color as brick so if looks like 1 house.
Perhaps you could paint it to match the under trimming of brown, or the color of your fence next to the brick.
Also, I meant to say, paint the window sills the same as the brick window sills also.
Our house was half brick half siding when we bought it. We stained the brick--stain absorbs into the brick and won't flake off like paint will--and painted the siding with paint the exact color of the stain we used on the brick. Now--10 years later, it still looks great and it is cohesive because the house is all the same color. I have not regretted for one second staining the brick. This is, of course, a decision only you can make, but no matter what color you choose for the siding, it will always be a house that is two different colors unless you unify it which will greatly minimize the difference between the two materials. Just one more idea for you to consider.
Thanks Debi, thats a great idea. I'll look into stain. So can you buy a paint and a stain the same color? Also what brand did you use?
The other thing I think you need to consider is if your intention is to highlight the siding side of the house or the brick side. I would do the window sills and the trim all the same color on both sides. I like Debi's idea to stain and paint the entire house the same color. Or keep all the trim/sills the same and do the siding a complementary color to the brick that you actually like. Many homes use 2-3 different materials - brick and vinyl, or stone and brick, etc. Just not usually side by side! To me, it all depends on your intention and desired outcomes. Good luck!
Good
I think you should paint the concrete wall brick red or brown and the house exterior maybe a very pail lemon or very pail mocha color it will stand out with some red roses in the garden and paint the roof brick red 2 xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The steps would be nice brick red and if you get a nice deep burgundy front door and windows very nice together I'm an interior and exterior designer but hope this helps take care and enjoy your day xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
