It’s Friday and you know what that means, Feature Friday. Last week I shared a Home Staging Clients project and some staging tips, you can read all about that here. This week it’s all about design. I am lucky enough to have a couple amazing design clients this month. One client is an interior refresh and another is a full house re-build, helping them make some final decisions. Before the massive cold hit we had to pick new blue exterior siding. It was clearly down to gray or blue siding. I was truly, truly positive we were going to go with a grayish siding color. For a few reasons, gray is a classic trending color, the right shade of gray can look great with red brick, and well, we love gray. But when it came down to the style of my clients, and the feel of the interior of the home, a more coastal/classical and causal look felt right. They are a fun, easy going family and I want their home to reflect them from the curb appeal to the interior. For that reason, we ended up with a classic hale navy blue siding.
Here is a photo of the home when they purchased it. A simple colonial with a lot of original interior features. You will see in the pictures below, it is not just the siding that is getting re-done, the home is basically a complete gut with a gorgeous addition. So, stay tuned.

This looks great! My wife and I are looking at the same color scheme. We have the same red brick and were looking at a slate blue with white trim (same as in your picture.) What color blue is that?

Hi Keki,
I would also LOVE to know what color this blue this is. I have red brick exterior just like this and looking for a blue just like this.
Thank you!

Had you gone with a gray, what shade(s) go best with red brick? Trying to do some brainstorming for replacement siding. Thanks.
