24 Painted Brick Ranch Houses With Classic Curb Appeal

Last updated on November 17, 2025 · ⓘ How we make our designs

Check out our painted brick ranch house designs that transform classic facades with fresh colors, modern charm, and irresistible curb appeal.

Painted brick can do a lot with a little. Soften a long facade, sharpen vintage lines, and make a humble ranch feel intentionally put together.

We pulled palettes from quiet places: misty mornings, shaded pines, riverstone banks, even oatmeal sweaters. Think calm creams, foggy grays, moody charcoals, and a few joyful doors that behave like exclamation points without yelling.

As you scroll, watch how contrast does the heavy lifting: graphite frames on cream brick, midnight shutters against almond tones, cedar accents warming up cool bodies.

Symmetry where it soothes, a wink of midcentury scrollwork where it fits, and plantings that earn their keep year-round. If a house can feel like a deep breath plus good coffee, that’s the vibe.
