I think I would want black trim on the windows and the garage door for sure. Are the metal gates and trim nessessary . The planters could use some work too. I think a wood garage door would be nice maybe even with some glass at the top then choose a color maybe like a gray with the wood door and the black trim. maybe even think about some color blocking I know this is not like your place but the idea is worth thinking about.

I'd use one of the color schemes on Postcard Row: https://www.dunnedwards.com/colors/specs/posts/the-painted-ladies-of-san-francisco Your place looks Art Deco, not Victorian, of course, but the Postcard color combinations could be attractive on your place, too.

Some inspiration

love the last two celery posted. great mock-ups.

can you show the other houses on the block? what have they all done with their homes?

I really like the color blocking!

This is a great blue:

I like the green and blue, but think with the adjoining homes the colors they are, it doesn't really look that great all together. The more neutral colors will work better regardless of what colors the neighbors select for their homes.

These are both great suggestions.

I suggest you take the Art Deco tour of your city and get some inspo first.
