I think a faux tile would look great. Also maybe some sort of moulding or strip on the top of the front in a brown to match the garage door?

Thanks for your reply. Where would the faux tile be placed and what color?

Possibly on the right side of the windows from ground to roof

I would stick with the brown color maybe add a pop of red or yellow

How bout a grey-blue paint on garage wall? Then, faux stacked stone panels on horizontal windows wall? Paint the pillars a dark color?

No, no, and no. Keep it simple. ;)

Thank you for the replies. I do love this house and it's design and yes, the front landscape will be done. I just think it's missing something. These homes are what inspired me to do to my house.

Plan 2 exterior is stunningly beautiful.

I do like the colors they used.

I think the stone only looks right on a very large house. The last pic above is lovely, but it's ultra contemporary and has a lot of architectural presence. On a more modest home, such as the first inspo pic, the stone just looks odd and ill-conceived to me.
