Front Door- Help me choose a style and color

last year

Recently bought my first house and I’m wanting to change the front door. What style and color would you recommend? I was thinking about black to match with the shutters and give it a nice contrast. The door now just blends in and feels very retro in my opinion. And yes, I promise theirs a roof, it just has a very low pitch and .5 didn’t help the pics lol
Any ideas are appreciated, thank you!

Also, please ignore the missing railing on the porch, working on a full front of house makeover

I think your front stairs could be far more interesting by using a series of slabs along with under edge lighting.

I don't see any reason to change the door, but I don't think the shutters are successful on the home.

Try painting the door you have just to see what you like. Black, teal? Definitely retro style, pretty cool!

You can always paint your existing door.

I'd do a full view glass door, remove the shutters.

Cute house. Love, Love the door you have. Paint it your favorite color: not black. The landing seems to be off height wise, notice it the above pictures the door is flush with the landings. The shutters don't really belong on the picture window. Landscaping is going to do wonders for the curb appeal.

Remove the shutters they do not belong on those windows . I loive the idea of the slabs to create a nice looking entry . Paint the door it suits the house perfectly You ahve acute MCM house some fun color for the door that new entry step idea and no shutters is great start. Then go to work on landscaping Tjhis is one of my faves for inspiration and notice the door and garage door styles and colors even the siding if you you decide painting .

Congrats on your new home! Live in it 6 months and create a wish list of all the changes you want inside and out, prioritize based on importance to you, get costs for everything on the list, then tackle the list based on what you can budget for home improvement. Save all receipts for home improvements (not maintenance or repairs) to offset your capital gain when you eventually sell.

@PatriciaColwell I do like the idea of the slabs like Beverly suggested, I would’ve never thought of that! I’m going to remove the shutters today and see how that looks, that seems to be the one thing people are suggesting haha.
Thank everyone so much for the suggestions!
