If you’re struggling with how to choose brick for your home, the best place to start is to gain inspiration from other beautiful homes!
First step was to drive around our neighborhood and get inspiration for the look I wanted to achieve.
Most neighborhoods have a cohesive look when it comes to finishes and some even have set guidelines on brick, exterior color, and materials.
The first step in picking out the perfect brick for your exterior is deciding on a color.
Next, after choosing a color for your brick, decide if you would like it to have a distressed look.
Lastly, decide how you would like the mortar to look; messy, thin, thick, smeared, and so on. When it comes to mortar, there are many different colors that will also drastically impact your finish.
Selecting stone to finish your exterior design, is definitely where your home’s finish gets pricey.
I love how the stones have a rough, uneven texture, making them appear natural and rustic.
Coordinate trim and garage paint colors.
Lay everything out so you can visually see how it works together.
