What color would you paint the shutters and front door?
Comments (5)For a more modern, fresh look, I would remove all of your shutters. They do not fit the style of your windows. I would also replace your front door with a mid century style door. It, painted a bright, bold color...a bright lime green, or teal blue, for example...might add that color that you are looking for. A new, larger modern exterior light and big, bold modern address numbers would help, too. And perhaps a modern bench for your porch, or modern tall planters would enhance the space. In the future you might consider painting all of your white siding and windows a dark, deep gray. Then your bright door would really stand out. Good luck and have fun with you lovely Home!...See MoreFront Door Color (Yellow) Recommendations

Comments (13)Consider painting the porch framing a whiter white because the frames of your windows show and are a bright white, which you cannot change. But to have the 2 whites makes the porch trim look grim. The shutter color choices offered above are great. Choose what YOU like best, or look for your own ideas....See MoreBenjamin Moore paint for shutters and front door HELP!
Comments (21)<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><md>Many thanks to all for your thoughts and advice! I’ve used some them and came up with a result that I’m very happy with. As stated, I was looking for advice for shutter, door frame and door paint color. I used black for the shutters and shogi white for the door frame. But, I wanted a “pop” color for my front door and that was the most difficult color to arrive at. I decide to “study” color schemes and purchased a color wheel. I went with a complementary color to my brick. My brick is varied in color but overall a terra cotta tone. With the color wheel focused on those tones it recommended blue-green or green-blue. I came to the conclusion that my scheme would resemble “southwest” colors, thinking terra cotta and turquoise. My neighbor, that has an eye for colors, helped me make the final choice and I love it!!! The recommendations for no shutters on the ground floor was noted. I drove around my neighborhood and the community that I live in and concluded that it is standard practice to put shutters on my windows. So, I did. Thanks again to all that contributed to this post. Now, I’m off to Croatia! ✈️...See MoreBlair Courtney
