I have a double wide mobile home, would like to paint the shutters

Question

Anna Ibarra · Answer

Pick a color you like?  Then get some samples at the home store and paint 1/2 a shutter and go from there.  Also u can go online and check out some other homes you find to your like and also use that as inspiration. Your home is so cute.  The new paint shutters w/pop and add some color to your pretty home.

Andrea Reed · Answer

Thank you...since it's at the beach I wanted some beachy color, not sure what...but thanks

Jeanette S · Answer

Since you say beach, I would use that sea foam green/blue on the door and perhaps a companion color a little darker on the shutters!

Andrea Reed · Answer

Thank you. That's what I was thinking but wasent sure how it would look. Always scared to try different things   Thanks

Van Randall · Answer

Excuse my poor photoshop skills.

Andrea Reed · Answer

Oh my gosh thank you so much for the mock ups. Helps me a lot to visualize how it would look.  Love the different colors.  Thank you

Andrea Reed · Answer

I think I really like the first color, thanks so much.....

Andrea Reed · Answer

Bumping up any more ideas.....

Chris Malans · Answer

check out Pinterest for ideas. i have a sm trailer too and im actually putting shutters on mine. Im making them myself from old pallets to give it an old rustic beach look :) 
i think doing the bottom skirt around trailer will help too :) i just love your questions & mr vans idea was great too, that was cool

Andrea Reed · Answer

Thanks Chris, I've been checking and looking on Pinterest...like your idea of using the pallets....sounds neat

CK · Answer

Knowing you like teal, there are some great choices that Van did for you on the mock ups. One of our trailer houses was white with black shutters too! Brings back some good memories. Personally I like the black shutters because it relates to the shingles of the home and garden shed. I'd be more inclined to rethink the color of the deck railing. And then add in deck accessories/wall accessories and flowers that carry out whatever color your heart desires :-)

Nelda · Answer

Love the teal but I wouldnt paint the whole door. Maybe the molding around it or something. The whole painted door looks tacky to me. Maybe just a few shades lighter too. Do you plan on painting the brown railing the same color also? Thats why I said a lighter shade.

Andrea Reed · Answer

Thanks.  Nelda, Iam really confused about this now....I really want to do something this summer to make it look more appealing, the shutters or the deck, ideas please.....thanks.  Oh by the way I have two decks a smaller one towards the front and the bigger deck as seen...

Donay · Answer

i would pick the color i like but i would paint the deck also

Johnchip · Answer

Blues and yellows.

Beth Gold Roccia · Answer

we painted both the decks and the shutters same color...doors too and the bottom too. we did a lighter color on main part of the home. We're gonna get the three tiered roof to pull in both colors...

Beth Gold Roccia · Answer

on the garden and needs new

windows, the roof hasn't been done but we know what we want (three tier shingles in blues)

hope you have fun designing your home, I find it to be A lot of fun!

Beth Gold Roccia · Answer

Still a work in progress. Needs windows, plants, and roof. The roof we want is the 3 tier shingle in blue..maybe google has some for ideas! Have fun!

Andrea Reed · Answer

blues and yellow sound nice. Thank you

Debbie Denney Kintop · Answer

Can you just paint the vinyl siding on the home and skirting or is there anything special you need to do? I'm quite tired of our plain while house and white skirting with faded green shutters....

Pamela Petritsch · Answer

Blue has hundreds of shades, and you can do a different shade on the railings & shutters to add interest
