How about two large cobalt blue pots to flank the front door?

Paint gutters & garage door the same color as the brick so that they will "disappear". Dark chocolate sounds good, & landscaping & cobalt blue pots, will add definition & color. Very nice house!

darker garage door would work. something this dark or a tad lighter. I like the row of glass at the top

I like this door too.

what do you think about painting your front door a lighter color?

the shrubs under the windows on the right need pruning. Love the colored pots idea. maybe even a mustard or red would work too.

or,,instead of those hedges, try something like this under the window

Planting some flowers after the tree comes out, in that bare patch, would also work. Iceberg rose bushes?

A new more extensive landscaping plan for the front yard

Nice home!

You might want to add some more photos, a closer and clearer photo of your brick would help. Is your front door stained wood or painted? If painted, changing it to a lighter colour would help draw the eye. Don't paint your downspouts/gutters dark, you don't want them contrasting with the brick, they serve a purpose only. Better landscaping will make this place sing.

Fresh landscaping and doors and windows should really help!

I agree with some landscaping changes. Dark brown does not seem like a good choice if you already consider your house to be " blah". I might choose a lighter color for the trim. Your house is already beautiful!

#1 Landscaping

#2 Paint (not dark brown though)

Thank you all for the replies. Here are some additional pictures, for those who asked. The front door is wooden, and black - but I kinda love it and don’t want to repaint it.

Pick your favorite bright accent color and paint the door and sidelights that color, then place large planters in the same color on the porch. Consider painting your window trim and columns a lighter color, like a light cream. Then add flowers to the the beds, remove tree and trim that row of hedges down.
