Exterior color

[Lea]

Hello, We recently purchased a lot that has 3 very small cabins. They are in need of exterior updating and I am really unsure if I should paint them in similar colors or 3 different colors - any suggestions??

Hi Lea! I'm not sure if this would help- but what is the "harmony" of the area? Are the cabins/lot near other dwellings, etc...

What are you planning to do with the cabins? -which I think are very very nice!

Lea - I don't know if you realize it, but you had also posted (with a photo) about your cabins under "Need Some Ideas for Outside of Home". There are some posts there. :)

Hi,

The area is near other homes, but they are all mostly 'holiday homes', but most are much nicer than ours. We are on the water, with a home on one side of us and a 4acre greenbelt on the other side. The homes are quite close together and very small.

I did post another with a picture as I am new to this and wasn't sure if I was doing it right:)

You did fine, Lea...and we all love your darling cabins! ;)

Oh how much fun.
So, you say you like red and yellow. Well green would go well with those so why not go with something like this:
#1 paint it red with white trim then maybe a yellow door and shutters
#2 paint it yellow with white trim and green shutters and door.
#3 paint it green with white trim and red shutters and door.

that way they would all cohesively go together but then not be identical and they'd be the colors you like..
I'd stick with more subdued colors not really bright so they work together.
