i'm not an expert, but i think your brick looks nice, but maybe not with the color of your siding and shutters. would you consider just painting the siding? maybe a creamy tanor a gray?

It has a lot of character and looks like a happy home. Lets give the siding and cement foundation a nice tan color paint to match the bricks. Remove the shutters, which are not really right for a house like yours. Add wider more modern trim instead. Trim color in a lighter tan/creamy color.

Be sure to paint all the downspouts the same color as the brick, not the trim.

(Nice combo)

Front door and garage door stained wood. Beef up the size of the porch posts at front door.

(Front door & porch posts. Ignore those wrong sized shutters.)

Put in some lovely landscaping with some curves.

I see a lot of pink/orange in the brick which is probably what you don’t like. I think if you went for a warm grey for siding, similar to the photo below, would be your best bet to neutralize those tones. Stay away from cool greys as they will show blue and have the opposite effect. Trim in a creamy white would provide a fresher look too. I also suggest losing the shutters, they look fake and don’t add anything. I would suggest adding wider trim to the upper windows.

I am with agreement of above. Paint the siding, foundation, and back deck the same color as the brick. The dark brown on it now makes it top heavy. Remove the shutters. You need attention to your front door area. To me it looks more like a kitchen door. The porch needs beefed up and a new door.
