Searched for an inspiration photo which shows my ideas and I found one!

No shutters. Notice the strip of window trim above the windows which is the same color as the roof. House trim looks darker than siding paint to give the house more of an outline. Garage doors are prominent and the wood look is striking. You could just paint yours brown (will go with stone trim). Black front door and I love the over hang over the garage doors. Takes away the flat look.

And this wonderful step/door application.
