I'm thinking the shutters don't work at all here. The windows are deep set and they don't look as though they serve a true function. I would remove them and then paint the concrete sills your trim color. I would then find a warm caramel color to add to your front door and paint your storm door to match. Painting the storm door the same color as the front door makes the door feel larger. Good luck with your project!

I completely agree with the previous poster about removing the shutters. The exterior would look great without them. For the door, turquoise would look amazing with that brick color. Whatever you end up doing, post pictures!

The shutters are necessary. We don't have them in the back of the house and the windows look small and very plain. Shutters are characteristic of this type of home in this area, anyway. I think they look really off because of the color.

As for painting the storm door, I don't think I want to attempt that. They are new and factory spray painted, so the finish is really nice, with some gold sparkle.

Beth H, I think I agree with you that it might be too much brown if i also do the door. I drove around and saw homes with dark doors, and it can be too much of a contrast.

Smitrovich, I had actually considered turquoise. If I can swatch it, I will. Wish i could visualize with a web tool.

This house exterior is tough to figure out because I'm stuck with a roof color I don't like, and storm doors that come in limited colors. My husband's kind of upset I didn't go with gray storm doors. He had suggested it. But my whole interior is gray tones!. And that front landscaping will get ripped out in the spring, so warm tones outside will go great with my idea of hot pink, purple flowers anyway. Or that's how I rationalize possibly being wrong instead of him being right ;).

I didn't do a great job on this, but it will give you an idea of what the turquoise door would like like.

Rather than adding more gold to your already gold house, I would paint the shutters and railing a medium gray color, which will look good with the roof. Then you could paint the door a dark version of the green/grey roof. If your storm door looks black, all that could work together.

Something bright and cheerful. Your house is completely neutral the sky is the limit. Choose your favorite color and go for it.

I'm having fun with this... here's your house with the turquoise door but also turquoise shutters. Looks kinda amazing, IMHO.

Edit: Also, I think you need to paint the iron railing. It's completely blending in with the house and I think it could be a nice detail.

That's pretty smitovich.

I'd go a deeper turquoise than that.

BM Oceanic teal but for the door only.

Thanks Smitrovich for doing that! What app are you using to play with the colors?

Calidesign, thank you for the medium gray suggestion. I should probably consider that. It would be a good temporary solution until a few years from now, when I replace the roof and shutters with the brown tones I really wanted.
