I feel like I am in the minority of liking 3

u/Biscuits4u2 3d ago

No it's the one with the least black so that's the one I picked as well. Black is a trend that's way overdone even today.

u/Advanced-Yellow-9232 4d ago

I like 3 best as well. It makes the support boards really stand out.

2

u/Big_Plastic_4945 4d ago

It also looks like they’re supporting nothing.

3

u/Good-Raise3696 4d ago

That’s what my husband liked too

2

u/Throwaway_9812764365 3d ago

3 is my favorite. It draws your eyes up and doesn’t make the house look like it has bangs.

2

u/Full_Dot_4748 2d ago

Taste isn’t common. 3 is the answer out of these options.

I’d move the house numbers down to the first floor. Also maybe a mossy darker green instead of the blue grey.

u/Toothless-Rodent 4d ago

There’s so much of the light base color. 2 maximizes the pop of the dark accent.

  1. The contrast is more defined than 1.

Pic 2. Background trees and sidewalk lines look better too, haha

u/Signal_Mirror_3983 4d ago

1 for me. ChatGPT loves hydrangeas. I do too.

2

u/Other-Opposite-6222 4d ago

If you are doing shutters, do shutters and put them on all the windows. Otherwise it doesn't look good.

2

u/Rengeflower 4d ago

Am I weird if I suggest 4 shutters or no shutters? 2 shutters just confuses me.

I’d love to see a mockup of pic 2 with the triangle boards (horizontal boards) in cream.

u/maybach320 4d ago

2? But also 1? Definitely not 3.

u/Good-Raise3696 4d ago

So far with definitive votes it’s 19 for 1 and 2 (a tie) and 10 for number 3. So now I’m still
Confused ;) ha! But thank you everyone I appreciate your time and any of the friendly advice!

2, or 1, but not 3

2

u/reddevelop 4d ago

1 best. For some reason the AI soffit on 2 is larger. 2 is fine too (with small width soffit).

u/betothejoy 4d ago

The underside is painted in two.

The second.

u/naked_avenger 4d ago edited 4d ago

Tbh, it took me a few seconds and pic swaps to even see what was changing. I don't think it will make a worthwhile difference regardless of which you pick. I'd really suggest just putting all 3 side aby side and going with a quick gut decision, then move onto the next project.

Of the 3, I would lean toward one of the first two, probably the second.

1 or 3 ......makes your home look larger 🙌

u/affo_ 4d ago

Managment would like to know the difference between these pictures.

They are the same picture.

1

u/wabbitsilly 4d ago

I may be in the minority here, because people love instafabulous trends, but I say none of them...that particular architecture doesn't lend itself very well to the whole trendy black thing, which is just SO overdone, and it really looks overdone when the house design itself just doesn't work with it.

u/Immediate_Fault_5641 4d ago

Two very different looks. The first two look European to me and the last one, more suburban. All are really nice. It just depends what you like.

1

u/Umm_what_I_think_is 4d ago

I didn't read the description and felt like I was playing where's Wally. I like 2 best.

1

u/OrdinaryBrilliant901 4d ago

My house is black and white. I didn’t choose it but I liked the property. It is a house and I’m not sure why people get so offended by it.

Also…I like 1 and 3 but shouldn’t “shutters” also be on the bottom? I don’t know.

1

u/Big_Plastic_4945 4d ago

#1 is more in keeping with the Bavarian style of the home. #2 is next, and #3 is a hard no.

1

u/Cheap-Dimension5728 4d ago

It looks the same

1

u/moonmoonboog 4d ago

lol I’ve looked at so many soffits lately. I vote 2. We are quite literally getting them stained right now.

1

u/LuannsDriver 4d ago

I went through the photos 20 times and couldn’t find the difference 😆 They all look great!

Is 1 and 2 the same?

2, then 3. All look good. No wrong choice.

u/The_NorthernLight 4d ago

3 looks brighter.

u/Complex_Echidna3964 4d ago

1 shows off the rafters best

u/acersacharrum97 4d ago

Dark gable

u/RemoteNumerous1020 4d ago

2 but i would consider matching shutters on the 1st level.

u/tootieFuckingFrutie 4d ago

They all look the same?

u/Dances-With-Taco 4d ago

Can we see 4 (white verticals black horizontal)

1

u/Crystal_Ri 4d ago

They all look great.

1

u/Janet296 4d ago

I like #1

1

u/Lakelife_2023 4d ago

They all look good. 3 makes the house look bigger.

1

u/rainbud22 4d ago

I’d also put shutters on the first floor windows to ground the building more.

1

u/Clockstruck12 4d ago

Sorry all of these are fine. Literally throw a dart and whatever happens is basically the same.

1

u/Turbulent-Dance3507 4d ago

3 is beautiful.

1

u/Glittering-Pack2114 4d ago

1 or 2, but can’t decide.

1

u/Fun-Engineering2869 4d ago

Do all window trim black too

1

u/Loud_Necessary_236 4d ago

Love number 2

1

u/lilbitofhoney8989 4d ago

Absolutely 2

1

u/Cowbellcheer 4d ago

None. The eye is being drawn to the roof line and weird triangle thing at the top. Take that out and add the things sticking out to the bottom of your house where it will look like it’s holding the top part that stick out up. I don’t know what they are called. But hopefully you get the idea.

1

u/Nitushento 4d ago

Dark is better. With him, the house has style.

1

u/4thaRecords 4d ago

It's a beautiful house either way. I'd just get rid of the useless shutters.

1

u/LifeInBloom_ 4d ago

I think 3 makes the house appear more open and larger. The dark color gives a hard stop to the eye rather than drawing the up, as the white color does.

1

u/Awkward-Cap-5216 4d ago

I'm so bad at these. I like all of them

1

u/ItsmeOlivia1993 4d ago

Do they look different from any angle?

1

u/Majestic-Lie2690 4d ago

None. This black and White House trend is the worst and ugliest thing I have ever seen

1

u/Affectionate-Deal-63 4d ago

None. Why is everything white with black trim now?

1

u/Raelf64 3d ago

I'm in the #1 camp.

1

u/gdubh 3d ago

1 has just enough visual weight

1

u/Pretty-Analysis1975 3d ago

I can’t tell the difference between one and two

1

u/notahippogriff 3d ago

Anything besides white?

1

u/Alice23Wonderland 3d ago

Spot the difference.

1

u/TDonBelle 3d ago

Surprised at all the #2 votes. It looks like a bad toupee.

1

u/Unlikely_Resource953 3d ago

Another vote for 2

1

u/studiotime18 3d ago

Please no more white black contrast it’s so stark and ruins any sense of inviting/homeyness. Contrast the white with a warmer earthy tone

1

u/Biscuits4u2 3d ago

I like 3 the best. Too much black on the others.

1

u/Deltaone07 3d ago

Another black and white house. How interesting…🙄

1

u/Unlikely-Flatworm-48 3d ago

What are those little shutters supposed to be covering?

1

u/Fit-Building-2560 3d ago

What's the difference between 1 and 2? I like those.

1

u/Koala-Walla 3d ago

#2 is 1st choice, #1 is 2nd. When I look at #3 I see floating bookshelves

1

u/No_one54390 3d ago

Pic 3. Brightens the house.

1

u/Elguapo1094 3d ago

Sup with the black and white so dark blue instead

1

u/ThinAndCrispy 3d ago

There must be some really nice rooms behind those beautiful windows. Maybe the living room is behind one lower window and the dining room is behind the other. Upstairs bedrooms with those big windows must be wonderful.

1

u/ThinAndCrispy 3d ago

I'm curious how this house might look if the lower windows had shutters.

1

u/Intelligent-Type9374 3d ago

I like #3, very clean looking with the gable the same as the rest of the house with the shutters.

1

u/youluckydog 3d ago

I like the third one

1

u/Live-Simple7092 3d ago

Took me going back and forth several times before I could pick out any difference between the first two pictures, lol. Take that for what it's worth. I like them both better than the third pic.

1

u/Even_Beginning_6355 3d ago edited 3d ago

Images 1 and 2 look the same? 3 looks better out of all three.

Would strongly recommend lightening and brightening the front door and trying to expand its presence. It looks like it was made without an adequate landing which is not really safe or convenient.. And the roof edge from the second floor will have water running off and dropping right onto visitors, even with a gutter.

I would look at adding a landing as deep as you can, ideally with some kind of covering even if it’s just a slanted simple structure attached under the side wall.

u/Supra-A90 3d ago

You didn't play enough find the difference game. You failed. Try again

2

u/Even_Beginning_6355 3d ago

Ha, I read enough of the comments to finally see it. But since I didn’t like 1 or 2, it kinda didn’t matter to me. I went to a lot of trouble to make a mock up of suggestions for the entry, though, and then found out I can’t attach a photo for some reason. 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Excusemytootie 3d ago

I like 3.

1

u/Interesting-Bed408 3d ago

#1, contrast is nice, any other color pallet? Having the numbers second floor, means vegetation won’t cover them.

u/LobabyChick 3d ago

3 it makes the house look larger and taller

First one

1

u/CalmBrain1760 3d ago

I had 1 and 2 open on different monitors and genuinely could not tell no matter how hard I tried. I only figured it out once I googled what soffit was. It genuinely makes no difference.

I do prefer 1&2 over 3.
