We did take off our shutters before putting these one, but it just didn’t look right. I do like the shutters better than before but the brown just doesn’t look the best. What about a dark grey color for shutters? Do I keep a wood door or do the door color the same as shutters? Here is a close up of stone and brick.

I like the doors from Patricia with the glass. It looks nice to me when the glass mimics the glass in the windows. I think a light color would help give the door more focus. Maybe consider removing the shutters from the upper double window since it's too large for them. Each shutter should be half the window's width. That means very wide shutters for double windows which can look odd.

Thoughts about painting the shutters same color as other window trim or take off shutters and add same color window trim as the other larger windows. Is this hard to do or could we do it ourselves?

Rather than replacing your door, you may want to consider transforming it by adding glass to your existing door and possibly replacing the sidelights and transom (glass above the door). Here's a few transformations of similar entry styles as yours to give you an idea of what can be done. There's an online gallery that can be found here.

I think if you remove the shutters you should add the same trim as the other windows for balance. I'm not a pro (far from it!) and don't know if that's a DIY kind of job.

I don't think your door is dated. I'm just not a fan of the two-tone treatment: one color for the side lights and another for the door. Paint them all the same color.

I'd also ditch the brass kick plate on the bottom of the door. I think that's what's making it feel dated. The door itself is a pretty classic style.

Try a dark blue for the door or a forest green. Either would work nicely.

The only windows on the house that can have shutters are the 2 on the left side tha are narorow enogh for shutters, shutters are not meant to be on multi windows and IMO that house looks much better without them. Do the same trim on all the windows.At some time it would be good to remove the stone IMO never good to mix brick and stone and stone needs to be where it would have been for the actual structure not just put somewhere for who knows what.

I wouldn't put a craftsman door on a house that is clearly NOT craftsman. Your door is not dated. In terms of putting in two doors it doesn't seem that you'd have the width to do that. The house appears very brown from the roof, to the stone, etc. Perhaps a pop of color on the front door would be best. Not more brown wood.

I feel that door suits the house well. You've got nice sidelights and a transom.

I do not like double entry doors. They tend not to seal well and I think a single 42"W door is more functional than a pair or 36" or 32" where the second door is rarely opened.

I'm with strategery on this one. Your home is transitional style. The door you have is perfectly fine.

It's a very nice door as is!
