My first thought & impression is that the easiest thing to do is paint gutters & garage doors the same color as trim. Leave downspouts as don’t want to emphasize. Looks like gutters never painted. That trim color is good with roof & blends well with window trim..Garage trim looks like only top painted. Front door could be an accent color but might be challenged to pick color that’s good for both brick & front rock face. I’d start with greens - not brights like fern green & not dark like hunter green.. Think about changing entry ceiling light to a prettier hanging light that fills area above the door. Landscaping & lawn could use some love - looks new. Take those ties & support poles off the trees if they’ve been on close to a full season. The ties will girdle the bark & kill trees pretty fast.

I would change out the garage doors to a natural wood to warm up the feel, with windows and a full-view front door of the same.

Would look more welcoming instead of a barrier. The lawn and planting will add softness when the season changes. Congratulations, it's a beautiful home.

Whoever built the house had a problem with colors and undertones. First thing....the yellow/gold brick around the front gable is a good place to start landscaping. Plant along the foundation something that you can trim, which will fill in as a hedge, and will stay green year round. My go to for all of that is Cherry Laurel.

Now that that unattractive color is gone you are left with a very decent color brick.

Add more light at the front door and more personality in that recess with a custom transom above it. This is just for concept. A hanging light would hep too.You could paint the garage doors to match the window trim so they would fade away. Figure out a way to move those two downspouts away from the entrance. Then find a pro who can help you develop a new landscape plan. Some of it can be installed this fall and some next spring. Avoid died mulch; go for natural like cypress to help repel pests and to degrade nicely over time.

My very first thought since the garage is prominent. Keep as much focus off of it as possible. Same with gutters and downspouts. Trying to think of a color for the front door. It needs to be pulled out of the shadows with a lighter color.

Agree with Judiana…the brick is nice!

New garage doors with some windows will help I agree the same color as the trim. But the biggest pay off will be some great landscaping and a new front door in a color .

I’m not sure I can afford t replace the garage doors yet. May have to get a quote and plan that for later. Hopefully painting will help for now.

I was also thinking of maybe doing a lime wash on the stone to make it less yellow?

@Marcia Hunt About those garage doors- seems like damaged panels on g doors can be replaced especially on newer roll up doors. If you just wanted windows in garage to change look, maybe check out a new panel with windows.

@lisadev, how do you do those mock ups? I've been longing to do mockups of the front door of my house to try diffent colors and wonder how you do this.

I would paint the front door and garage doors either a muted Navy or Charcoal, the problem with the house is it has no focal point and no contrast, it's washed out. These are the cheapest and least extreme things, so you might as well try them first. Then reevaluate on spending more cash on further enhancements after you've lived with that for a bit.

My first impression - yes, the builder had a hard time coordinating his/her colors. IMO, the garage doors, brick, and stone clash.

Since the stone covers the smallest area, I’d whitewash it to tone it down and try to get it to blend with the brick (which isn’t bad). As mentioned by the OP a few posts up.
