Red is a common color for bricks, but you can also see orange bricks in residential homes. When it comes to choosing a color scheme for your orange brick, it’s important to consider which aspects of your home you want to highlight first and which ones you want to deemphasize.

Use colors that will blend in with the brick like red or orange to make less visible any features you want to deemphasize, like gutters or faux shutters. For a feature you’d like to highlight, you can use colors that contrast with the background bricks, colors that look great together but also stand out against the brick.

Trying to pair colors for shutters, doorways, and other fixtures with brick can be tricky but it can also be fun when you strike the right color combo. It’s always a good idea to explore your surroundings or bring in an outside perspective when considering exterior colors, especially pairing with brick wall.

Is it in Style to Have an Orange Brick House?

It’s difficult to define what is “in style” so it really depends on who you ask. Brick is typically more traditional, so you probably won’t see anyone use it for a modern home.

Wood and brick are both useful materials for creating rustic modern designs. It’s not clear which one is more popular, but they certainly can’t be considered rare nowadays.

Trends come and go and right now it’s more common to use more modern materials like steel. But brick will always be an architectural staple in a lot of parts of the world.

Which Colors Look Best with Orange Brick?

A classic orange brick exterior makes selecting paint colors challenging, since these types of homes usually have intense color on the outside. You can paint a brick exterior however you want. It’s also worth considering painting other parts of the house like trim, shutters, the front door and garage door.

When choosing a new color, the most important thing to keep in mind is undertones. Different shades of orange brick will vary in how they interact with accent colors.

Matching Orange Brick with White for Fresh Look

To bring the orange brick aesthetic to life, we’d recommend going with a soft white shutter. The colors in this combination are reminiscent of an orange. That’s why it makes sense that a fresh approach is something you’ll see from the combo.

If you like this design, there’s something you could do to make the exterior of your house look incredible. It is recommended that you use the same white color for shutters as well as other elements, like windows, doors, and trim.

Calm Down Your Orange Brick with Grey

The grey shutter is another excellent choice for a house that looks best in orange brick. You need to understand that the grey tone plays an important role for this case.

The orange brick is definitely eye-catching, so instead of fighting it all you can do is tone it down. Although typing with a bold might seem like a good choice, it actually presents some difficulties for people.

Check out the picture of the orange brick house above. The shutters give the orange bricks a more muted tone.

Get Striking and Contrast Look with Black

The final color for the shutter of an orange brick house that we want to tell you about is black. The contrast between the two colors can produce a bold look.

We know that black and orange are both bold colors but can still coexist well. As an example, this picture above shows a small two-story house. Without the black shutters, it will look too ordinary. However, with the shutters installed, it’s a completely different story.

Conclusion

If you want your brick home to have a classic and timeless look then stick with shades of white or sage green such as for the exterior doors, shutters, and trim.

If you’re interested in embracing a more modern aesthetic, consider painting the front door a bold colour such as yellow or teal
