Burgundy or Hunter Green Shutters would work. Arch above the front door and box above I would paint the same color as the siding as I would not want to draw attention to either honestly.

I might try taking the shutters off and seeing if you like it better.

It looks fine as is to me either with or without shutters. Perhaps remove the arched trim over the doors and windows, add larger front door lights, add a front door overhang, and/or increase the width of the front door stoop.

Consider concentrating on improving the landscaping. Make the bed to the left on the entryway deeper to match the bed on the right.

No to your choices.You can't ignore the brown roof.

I like creamy whites or light beige with brown.

My only other idea would be a light sage green.

Not sure about the shutters and door.

I like the colors you have right now. The exception is the door, which could be a much brighter color. Some brighter colors set around, like colorful pots of plants etc. I would also like to see some of the brown like the shutters around that window over the arch way, in the brown tones. It sticks out like a sore thumb right now. Same thing with the arch over the doorway. That bright white, just doesnt look good there either.

Lose!! the shutters and DOUBLE LOSE any blue idea in your head. There's a warming trend well afoot, and lose all those other ideas unless a roof change. Don't even try it lol

Get to work on the landscaping, improve the light at entry! See if you can remove the arch doo dad add on's.. An overhang of any sort needs a drawing and a permit. Bring the masonry steps forward.......etc

I think a sage type green, not too cool, and red door similar to above suggestion, and losing the white accents, would look great. I might try a red that doesn’t look too Christmasy, if using green. Rich & warm.

I think if you try to go more black/ white/ blue it’ll look harsh and mismatched with your roof.

I think a light sage green could be nice.

I think you should consider white shutters. They are completely unexpected.

The roof really isn't "brown". It has low lights that appear medium brown but it's the highlights that hit a note of apricot or peachiness, that's the challenge.

I would stay in that same Yellow-Red hue family range for the body and shutters for that reason.

The good news is the roof and brick porch go together well, they aren't competing hue families - lucky because that means you do have the option of tints, tones, shades from the same yellow-red hue family.

Shutters could actually work because shutters are a source of exterior pattern - a macro pattern - and in this case they would bring a 3rd element pattern, different scale which is what the busy porch and roof pattern combo needs IMO.

This isn't "your" house. This is AI's best shot at rendering it. I've trained my AI to read the color data profiles from my Paint Color DNA Table. So, it does amazingly well with Munsell hue/value/chroma but it doesn't always nail the render.

Here are some ideas:

You can go with black contrasting shutters, leaving door with

brown wooden color.

Or as Beverly suggested to go with white shutters.

I like the pale gray and I don't know why there is such a snit about the arches and the box window.

The brown shutters are too matchy-matchy so either remove them or paint them charcoal or white as proposed by others.

Here is a sketch of your house without shutters to visualize. The boxed window is gray.

The overlap on the lower right window shutter would make me crazy - if it were me, I’d skip the shutters or just do cream/low contrast ones on the upper level (making sure they were large enough given the window size) - then I add nice iron railings to the stairs, add larger/chunker exterior exterior lights and fill in landscaping to make that as lush as you can (looks like it’s winter in the pic so understand everything it likely sleeping) i’d also paint the gutters to match th house

Thank you all for these great suggestions!! I had honestly never thought of most of these ideas.

I think this combination from Beverly could be really nice.

I agree with la la girl - the first thing I noticed was that the shutters are not the appropriate size for the windows. Even when shutters aren't operational, they should look like they are. The shutters also shouldn't ever be attached flat to the siding of the house. They should be attached as shown in diagram below:

The shutters should also be sized so that they cover the window (measure the height and width inside the window casing).

While I agree with chloebud that Beverly's example would look nice - an important part of this house is the way the shutters have been size and installed:

When shutters are installed correctly, they create more dimension on the house vs. when they are installed flat (incorrectly).

If you are going to have shutters on your home, the last shutter on the first floor on the far right should not be placed behind the gutter/roofline - it should be mounted to overlap the gutter/roofline (as shown below - even though your gutter/roofline will cause the shutter to be pushed forward a bit unlike the example below where the shutter is angled back towards the gutter).

If you look at the outer shutters on the upstairs windows in the fourth photo posted above (the one Beverly initially posted), you'll notice that both shutters on the far right and far left are angled forward a bit because of the frieze trim (I think that's the correct term).

The windows on the first floor are close together - but they should still be sized correctly for the window if you are going to install them on your home.

You either need to have the shutters overlap each other a bit:

or install folding shutters (as shown below):

You could leave shutters off of your home - if you decide to do that, I would add extra trim around the windows.
