9 Red Brick and Siding Color Combinations for the Best Exterior Look

Red Brick And Siding Color Combinations

There are plenty of ways available right now to create a red brick exterior design that is stunning. One of those is by adding a wall siding in the design.

This addition can bring some benefits to you. The most significant one, of course, has a relation to the brick house appearance.

The pairing between wall siding and red brick can boost the house’s curb appeal to the next level. Do you know what it means? It means more chances for a better sale if you plan to sell the property in the future.

Another benefit that you can obtain is that wall siding addition can hide some structural damages on your red brick wall. This benefit is only applicable if at first, the home exterior only consists of red brick material for the wall, which also means that the wall siding is not there since the beginning.

Wall siding can also give a color addition that will make the red brick design even more attractive. It gets even better because, commonly, once painted, you will not need to color it in any time soon since it will last for years.

One thing you must know that there are only some tones that will look nice together with the red brick material. If you are curious about all those, you are already in the right place.

The reason we said so is that in this article, we will focus the discussion on red brick and siding color combinations. To be more specific, we will share with you and explain the nine best options. Check them out in the following.

Charming Combination of Red Brick and Tan Wall Siding

First, let us talk about the combination of red brick and tan wall siding materials. This specific combo is a perfect choice for you who want to create a charming look in the home exterior design.

Both of tan and red belongs to the warm color category. Together they can create an inviting visual.

The way to apply the combination is quite various. It is not limited only in the design in which the lower part of the house gets the red brick material while the upper gets the wall siding.

Right now, there are so many creative ways to use both of these materials on the exterior. The first example exists in the photo of a contemporary facade above.

The tan wall siding dominates most parts of the exterior. On the other hand, the red brick material highlights the facade and the entry area of the house.

Here is another unique pairing between red brick and tan siding that we found. Both of the materials are not directly connected but can still build an interesting exterior design.

As you can see, the tan siding, of course, exists on the wall. The red brick, on the other hand, is used for the columns and steps.

Bluish Grey Siding and Red Brick Combo for a Stun

The next exterior combination idea that we want to show you is between bluish-grey wall siding and red brick. In a glance, this combo can make the house look stunning. However, you must know that there is something more behind it.

This combination can be the most excellent solution to pick if, by any chance, you are a fan of blue color, but you do realize that pairing the red brick with blue siding might result in something too much. With the greyish blue color, you can get the blue tone you want without making it too visible that it will ruin the beauty of the exterior design.

When it comes to red brick tone, grey is also a more suitable color to pick as the pair instead of blue. If you must choose blue, we suggest selecting a darker shade of the one that comes with a visible grey undertone.

Timeless Exterior with Sage Green Wall Siding and Red Brick

Another wall siding color that you can pair with a red brick exterior is sage green. This green tone is the one that goes well with red.

The pairing between these two colors can result in a timeless appearance. That is why we can say that it will be a good choice for you who loves to stick with one exterior design for a long time instead of changing it.

FYI, sage green is a color that has a grey undertone in it. It seems to prove that red brick and grey are truly compatible with one another.

In the design above, you can see how the combination is so beautiful. Here, the red brick material in the garage doors area seems to be more prominent, while the sage green tends to look more like a gorgeous background.

Here is another exterior example in which you can see the pairing between sage siding and red brick. Here, the brick material is used partially on the wall design as well as the step design.

The thing that we love about the design is the use of a red door and windows to complete the color combination. We are also interested in using a darker grey trim that seems to be a good match for the sage green siding.

A Classic Combination of Red Brick and White Siding

Here we come to one of the most popular classic combinations. It is nothing else but the pairing between white wall siding and red brick material.

You can also apply this combination in many ways to make the exterior design looks the best. The example that you can see in the photo is quite interesting.

It shows a white house with siding material dominating the exterior. The most interesting detail you can see in the design is, of course, the attention-stealer red brick chimney.

The contrast color between it and the white siding creates a very interesting visual. The more important thing is that the neutral white color makes the red chimney prominent here.

If you want another example, here is an attractive one that you must see. While the use of white wall siding in this design looks quite ordinary, you can see something more interesting about the use of red brick material in the traditional home design.

Here, the red brick does not exist on the wall of the house. Instead, it appears on the floor.

Something like this is definitely unique. It shows that red brick material can still create a beautiful visual even if you do not use it on the wall.

Brown is another tone you can pick for creating a cozy look in both interior and exterior design. A more important thing you must not forget is the fact that brown also looks good together with the taupe siding and red brick wall.
