Just a few random ideas for your consideration... :-)

• Paint garage doors to blend in with the brick/siding.
• Paint the front door your favorite non-neutral color; something that goes with your interior decor.
• Plant flowering evergreens (maximum mature height to bottom of windows) that complement the door color. Ideally, a 5'+ deep flowerbed with 3 layers (groundcover, small shrub, medium shrub) would be nice. <3
• Plant a small ornamental tree between the 2 windows. The mature size of what you select will determine whether or not I'd recommend including it in the flower bed.
• I love a good "thriller-filler-spiller" potted plant (tall elegant plant in center, shorter vegetation surrounding it, then something else to spill over the sides) near an entry -- or a vine on a tall decorative trellis/obelisk -- that would sit in the middle between the front door and the first window.
• The plant on the far right of the house could use some trimming/limbing up. It looks like it's trying to eat the house, lol!
• Create a walkway (flanked by a low groundcover) from the front door to the sidewalk, so that anyone arriving on foot isn't forced to use the driveway and/or the lawn. :-D Doesn't have to be fancy; it can be as "manufactured" (as in concrete) or "organic" (crushed stone) as you please.

Hope I gave you an idea or two you could use! :-D

ODD has good ideas!

You can get a lot of inspiration from other MCM ranches. It's sleek and modern. And symmetrical, which is pretty cool! Embrace your inner atomic ranchiness. Look up how Eichler homes are dressed and landscaped. Like yours, they have private fronts instead of the expanses of windows many midcentury homes have.

One thing your house is missing is proper garage doors. Garage doors aren't cheap and special ordered ones even less so, but imagine vertical "siding" garage doors painted to match the vertical siding in which they're set. For now at least paint them to match.

I'd prefer your siding in another color, but it's pretty hard to complement that shade of brick without ending up the color you have. :) Play with the paint programs on paint companies' websites and see how much contrast you can do before it looks patchy. Do a nice color, not a boring adult color.

No shutters. (I am a big supporter of shutters on ranches because most of them were designed with shutters in mind, but not your place.)

The frront of your house is anything but bland. You have a ton of design elements, which are not well coordinated. You have brown trim around your windows, beige siding, brrick, white garage doors and trim. I'd pull everything together with color. A soft mossy or sagey green for trim, if you want more pop with aa natural wood stained medium to dark brown dfor the garage doors.

Then, I'd add some landscaping. Put in rhodos and mt, laurel of varying heights (so that mature height and spread doesn't block your windows.

Planters are much harder to keep watered in heat and the roots freeze more in winter because they limit root space. Plant your plants in the ground. in drought, roots have room to grow down.

Barbara C has the right idea! The geometry of the entry path would continue across the foundation to the right of the entry.

or with modern planters

I love the ideas,thank you all for being so helpful. I love the planters
