Since there is no other gray on the house for the shutters to relate to, I think the front door should be the same gray color. Otherwise, I think you might be approaching too many colors and textures on a relatively simple style home.

If I choose to change the shutter colors as well and also have a different door color, what would you suggest?

What ever color you go with pick ONE. Have the shutters and door match. BLACK is claimed to be the $$$$ color.

What do you think of this blue/green color? Add a planter with color and maybe a chair or small bench, all by front door. It will look pretty, I think.

Add a planter by front door with some color, and maybe a small chair or bench, too.

I am trying to avoid black shutters if possible.

Navy. Look at Hale Navy for starters but there are lovely navies out there.

I'm thinking the solution might be to eliminate shutters. Direct focus toward your front door and a small seating area to the left of the door, under the window.

And if you were looking for more curb appeal ideas, beef up those porch posts. If not, then ignore me!

These are the pics of our current house. The other side faces the r roo...

Now that I see the real Home, no shutters and paint the storm door whatever color you paint the front door. Seriously, do a google search of navy front door with brick.

If you want more ideas for curb appeal, there are other suggestions that folks can make.

Remove the shutters. They aren't appropriate on double windows. I don't mind the door color but the storm is hiding it. New, beefy columns would make the biggest impact, and then new landscaping.

I agree to removal of the shutters, they should be wide enough to appear to close and meet in the middle of the window. If the upper shutters cannot be removed without showing damage to the siding, paint them out the same color as your siding so they do not contrast and attract attention. Hopefully your siding is wood and the shutters can be removed. Remove them from the lower window also.

You have to work with what you have, the brown roof, the pink/orange/red brick and your siding color, grey is not a good fit. A sage green on your door would work. Ideally, the storm door should match in color.

You should add another post for landscaping suggestions, add some more photos from the curb and state your planting zone.

Yes...the shutters need to go. Each shutter should be half the window's width. Not a good look with double windows. I like the green from Christine.

Unfortunately the siding is vinyl and probably will show holes in them from previous shutters.

Other side of the house facing the road. I should put shutters here riright?

I think it's worthwhile to check into removing them and patching any holes.

Ben Moore Persimmon is the first photo, might be too out there for you? Red Oxide might work. Don't know the second one, SW Really Teal is similar.

If you choose shutters, I wouldn't put them on the wide window near the front door. for the rest, you should google proper shutter sizing to make sure your new shutters are wide enough. The shutters you have look too narrow.

What color shutters would look good with the house if I choose to put on on the second floor and on the side of the house with single (please see that picture

I actually like the dark, cool-green color you presently have. The shutters just need to be sorted out.

Also would eliminate all the shutters but then add wide trim boards -- (that, hopefully, would cover most of the holes) -- at least around the upstairs windows and the front door frame ( treated, stained natural wood finish) as well as use that same wood to wrap around the thin front porch posts.

Then paint your door a color that goes well with the natural wood finish you've chosen -- a bold black, perhaps with a brass bottom kickplate might be worth considering.

Bette suggested sage green...another nice choice with your brick and roof color.

I removed the shutters next to the door. It looks a lot better.. with the top windows I dont think we can necessarily "patch" the sidings. They were put in about 27 years ago and they probably dont have the same siding part get replaced.

Which color do you think would work the best from the options below ??

Wedgewood blue??

Other siding designs and color suggestions would be aporeciated.

##i am willing to paint the door if needed be.

##i do see the need for a chair or bench

What do you mean by “siding designs”?

What are the dimensions of the upper windows? You may not like the recommended sized shutters. They’ll be much different than what you’re used to.

Oh sorry.. I meant shutter designs .

The height about 43nches and the width is pretty long (ddidid't measure it )but def it wwould be weird to havvesuch a wide shutter

Before--

Trying the black shutters. What are your thoughts on this ?

Grey door.
