I'd maybe paint the door a light colour, that would at least tone down the heavy woodiness of it.

Also, check our your local architectural salvage place. They may have something more appropriate for your house.

You have a Victorian door and shutters that don't belong. Hit the salvage yards and look for something like this:

Yup, someone put a faux-Victorian door on a colonial home. A raised-panel colonial door is what would have been there, like this:

If that were my home, I would make changing out the door a priority. If I couldn't do it right away, I'd leave it alone until I could totally replace it with a period appropriate door.

Hello Marie! You've got a super charming home, and there's quite a few directions that you could go by replacing your door glass and sidelights. Here's a few options our designers rendered for you. These are from our Grille and Georgetown collections.

As a temporary solution, consider covering the sidelights with shutters the same length as the sidelights. Paint them black.

I really like grover's suggestion. A door with glass that somewhat mimics your windows would be a good fit.

Except for the first one, Zabitat's glass/grille patterns are not in the Colonial style. The second one is Prairie, while the third is Victorian.
