since you have a darker tone roof, you can really do any color combo you like.

are you up for painting the deck and the brick?

If you try a lime wash, it could look like this (Romabio is a paint made specifically for brick)

I like celery girls mock up. The painted brick, wood doors, I might do black shutters, black trim and if not a wood front door, I'd pick a bold color to paint it. But I do like the natural wood on the garage door.

if keeping the brick, maybe a white and blue?

This looks like SW Urbane Bronze

or this:

another way to upgrade your porch posts, maybe get rid of the little fence, or you can modernize it w/horizontal wood slat or even a cable railing.

if you take down the porch fence, change out to cedar posts, and do a hardscape walkway to the front steps:

if you want to leave the red brick, most of these combos will work

You have a fine looking house! I would simply change the siding to a khaki color ( less yellow) and paint the shutters an Olive or sage green. Then I would move on to a professional landscaping/hardscaping plan. Some nice curvy planting beds, a meandering walkway from the driveway to the porch, new steps, etc. will bring about remarkable positive changes to your home.

I don't dislike the yellow body of the house, but I would convert those shutters to a dark,blackish green to be complementary to the red tone brick. Especially under the porch, the dark red shutters kind of disappear. Also, to give more interest, paint the railings on the front porch and all window frames white. The white will highlight the yellow of the siding color.

Hi,

yes You are in a big hurry, but don't hurry too much. The house has good visual basics, we only have to free them using right color. I don't know why but I realised that You have to slightly lighten facade and repaint shutters to other not hot color, such as this color used in Deauville, the place of American Film festival is held yearly. This color is very stylish and its difficultm not simple, in its best way. Alternatively, You can use off-gray but for me its dull.

Also, the basic columns of the fences are too slim. Use something to thick them as I showed on the sketch. I would leave them in whites and additional fences on stairs are needed. Also the backyard fence can be cleaned, polished and painted with this "Deauville green" color, it also would be very stylish and make a reference to a good taste))

Overall, I woulld use 2 colors + white fences. I even would not touch the bricks (You can wash them and cover with defence liquid), or You can make this other year.

You have a lot of work this time so don't try to do ALL simultenously.

Hope this works. Good luck!

Wider steps, more modern railing, garage door, and front door,

I saw today this photo. Check color combination with brick on new houses.

On your deck picture it looks like the siding is no-maintenance vinyl. Think it over before you turn a no-maintenance house (siding, brick) into one that needs regular painting. I agree with the poster who suggested to just paint the shutters dark. On my screen the siding color looks good with the brick.

The house is not attractively landscaped. Start by letting the front shrubs grow without pruning for awhile. They look like yews, and should have the shape of a gentle pyramid, wider on the bottom with a rounded top. Then add additional plantings between and in front of them. A local nursery can advise you. That will make a big difference in the appearance.
