This earthy exterior is nice and relaxed.
It also adds a farmhouse-like touch to this home.

This warm wood makes a welcoming statement and pops against the greenery in the front of the home.
Go for a two-toned look with a half-and-half approach, which reads contemporary and chic.
Tan and Black
What could be more classic than tan and black?

The light green color plays nicely with the gray roof and its soft tones.
Paired with a lighter tan exterior, this shade brings in some welcome contrast.
Or use yellow paint on the trim or front door to match the style of your home.

The earthy color palette will blend right in with landscaping and stone details.
Potted plants and greenery surrounding the doorstep add natural color to the entry.
Just use one on the windows and the other on the doors.
