Take them off. Beef up the window trim and paint all your trim in more of a contrasting color to the body of the house. Pop the front door with color, increase all the lantern sizes to 1/3 the front door's height. Landscaping could use an upgrade.

Thanks can you suggest a color for the door and trim? Style of latern? Should I add more lanterns around all the windows?? Thank

Take them off!

You could go bold in the front door.

Jester is a great color.

The only windows that should have shutters are the single ones you will be much better off to beef up the trim and have no shutters on any. As for door color any color you like and the trim I would keep the same as the siding or do white trim and a differnt color for siding. You need some much more interesting and colorful landscaping for sure.

The entire house might benefit from being painted a different color. Not sure if it is the actual color or if the photo altered the color but the house appears pinkish. Am wondering if you should paint the lower level (which appears to be all brick on this facade) the same color as the upper floor but a couple of shades darker to really ground the lower level to the earth. As far as painting the window casings (trim) a different color I wholeheartedly agree. The lower level windows don't appear to have any casings or trim. They also seem to be lacking a brick soldier lintel - at least they don't appear in the photo. I'm going to go against the grain and say retain shutters but make them real operable shutters that actually fit the window size. I wouldn't install them on the triple windows. THAT should never be done. Good luck!

I think some flowers in the pots on the porch and a wreath would do a lot. It's very pretty.

Thanks the house is all white. There are roses in front, and hydrangeas on the sides but you can't see them. We are planning to put white roses in front as well as 2 more boxwood globes in the pots.

I see what you are all saying about the trim and casing around windows.

We would prefer something more conservative in color for those. Maybe a deep navy?

Any suggestions?

Would you keep the shutters on the 2 windows?

No, no shutters on any windows. There isn't enough room on the window to the right for properly sized shutters and shutters don't belong on the double window. The one above the door has the room but your home's windows really look much better without shutters.
