Paint Design Dilemma Exterior

Exterior paint

last year

I can't decide what color to paint my house! It is an older bunglaow and I would like to keep the body of it light as in a toasted grey color. Not sure what to do my caseings and garage door. As well the scaling of the 2 windows feel a bit small, what can I put between the windows or do I add shutters on the sides?

Don't add shutters. The windows are not right. I think it will look good all in gray, including the garage, with white trim and an interesting color on the front door.

I think it is not bad with shutters. Al least more balance. And some bright color door.

Help! I would like to update the exterior. Should I go lighter with the base color and the trim? Should I paint the brick? Thank you.

Thanks for the Cottage Red suggestion Houssaon. I might want to go a bit more bright/true red, but that is a really good muted option. As far as Edgecomb Gray trim, the windows, soffit, eaves and railings are stark white, so I was leaning towards a fairly white trim to blend better.
