Keep reading and learn more about matching your home’s brick color to different siding types.
Red Brick and Teal Siding
In some cases, the best siding and brick combinations don’t seem obvious. For instance, many people need to consider pairing red brick with teal. After all, teal is so different from red brick. Teal siding and red brick seem like they wouldn’t go well together, but when you put them together, they actually look beautiful together.
Their differences may be what makes them so well complimented. Once you install siding in this blue-green shade, you will discover that the teal shade somehow softens the red brick. As a result, you won’t notice the harshness of the red brick when looking at your house.
The Details
In the wrong circumstances, teal siding can appear dull.
Compared to other types of blue and green, teal is a darker, more neutral shade. Because of this, if it is used incorrectly, teal can look very lifeless and bland. However, when paired with red brick, the brick can enhance the teal without overpowering it. The combination of red brick and teal siding makes a very attractive exterior combination.
Tan Brick and Burgundy Siding
Despite not being as popular as red brick, tan brick can still be stylish. However, finding siding to match tan brick may be more challenging. Because tan brick isn’t as bold as red brick, a color like tan can easily be overrun by a shade of color that is slightly brighter next to it. It is best to avoid siding that is light in color because tan brick is on the lighter side.
Light siding will wash out light-colored bricks if you don’t. As a result, your house will look quite drab and washed out. Conversely, bright siding will overpower the bricks, so you do not want it to be too bright or vibrant.
Darker Shades
To balance out the lighter bricks and the darker siding, you should lean towards darker shades. Dark red or burgundy siding can be the ideal complement to tan bricks.
If you add a little bit of red to your house’s siding, you will find that you will be able to see the red hues of the brick as well as the red hues in your house, which usually is not much of a color that can be seen. If you do this, the brick will look much more colorful than it did before, as well as be more visually pleasing. Burgundy is ideal because it is not bright red, but rather it is sophisticated and subtle. Because of this, it will work quite well in elevating tan brick from its bland state.
Red Brick and Neutral Siding
Depending on the shade of red brick that is used on the exterior of your home, there can be some red bricks that may be a bit too bold. While the red color is undoubtedly appealing, an abundance of it can cause the exterior of your home to look unattractive.
The only way to fix this problem is to choose a neutral siding color. When it comes to neutral siding, you have a lot of options to choose from. For example, beige, light blue, and cream are all popular siding colors that you can choose from.
This neutral siding has the intention of detracting attention from the red bricks. However, the siding will not completely mask the bricks’ appearance. Instead, it will serve as a counterbalance to an otherwise dominant red color.
As a result, you will achieve a much more balanced appearance for your house. This is especially important if you want to make your home more appealing from the outside.
