A lot less concrete would be a plus for sure or at least a long row of planters filled with seasonal plantings to break up some of it. As for the arches you need a contractor and maybe even an architect to make sure it looks right when they are removedand replaced with posts

Decorating isn't my forte, but maybe some contrasting color here and there would break up that expanse of plain white.

For example, what you did with the window top arches to the right is subtle and attractive. Maybe you could do something complementary with the arches on the left, perhaps some kind of trim around them or even just paint, to tie things together.

Could you possibly post a better pic of your home from straight on?

All I see is an ocean of concrete. Your garage placement requires the hardscape remain. You will need a steel beam to rid yourself of the arches. Make sure the new columns don't block any of the windows. You can add low planting boxes on the edge of the porch. When finances allow look into replacing at least some of the concrete with "grass pavers".

I agree about oceans of concrete. Is the driveway double-wide because cars are parked on it?

Thank you for all your comments! This is in the midwest like northwest indiana. The driveway is double wide for cars. I'm more concerned about the arches right now I feel like they block off my porch and make it seem very closed in.

No they don't and they match the curvature of the windows on the garage. And the dark red is not helping either.

You need some greenery in the arch area. With either planter boxes or dig up some of the concrete. You could use a planter box with narrow trees/shrubs.

Your home looks nice as is but one change that would be worth making, if structurally possible (weight bearing wall), is to remove most of that solid wall (about six feet) that is located to the right of the entrance in front of the door and altering that one arch across from the front door (only that one) to create a wider (rectangular) opening there -- an opening distinctively different from the arches of the porch and the windows. Making that opening larger would make your front door more visible and it would enable you to make your front entry more the focal point for the front of your home -- especially if you added some dark bold color by painting your front door -- and changing that one arch to a rectangle should not "confuse" the style of the home.

You could frame that rectangle in wood.

and/or

You could also add a pergola or sun roof in front of the rest of the front porch -- in front of the arches -- if enlarging your front porch is of interest to you.

Another idea to "break" the look of so much concrete could be to add vertical wood boards between each of the arches and add brackets for hanging flower baskets on those boards.

I would change the reddish paint by the front door and window area by the front door a very light color. Paint the white brick of the house a light earthy color, don't have a accent color above the windows on front of garage. If you don't want to change the arch of the windows but disguise them may be a pergola over those can disguise them some. Replace garage door with one with a lot of interest, windows, some details of some kind. I would remove the arches if possible and replace, I would imagine you need a structural engineer for recommendations . I would imagine the arches block a lot of light from coming into the house. Maybe a concrete stain can tone down some of the concrete driveway, do it in a way to make it deliberately uneven colors.

I like the arches too. They add character to your home. Removing them, will leave it a plain jane type of house. I do think you could do a lot with landscaping. I also would paint the entire house, that sea of white would drive me nuts. It looks like it needs a good cleaning too.

It appears that the arches do not align with the windows. For that reason alone, I would suggest removing them.

This is just a guess at how it would look without the arches because your pic is very small. It would probably be much better without them.

I agree with the concept phuninthesun has shown, the brick columns are visual heavy. I would add a pitched roof over the door, much like a dormer window would provide, this will beak-up the long horizontal roof line. The pillars are good, but columns would offer more balance to the porch, and YES planters are a must. Round to break up the angles here.

You need to find a way to incorporate the right side of the house into this redesign somehow, but a better picture of that is needed.

opppppsss - it's a garage, sorry, I didn't look closely enough the first time. Still, a better straight on picture would be good.
