Evergreens and perennials are IMO pretty low maintenace you just need to be careful about futrue size of them The house seems to have bit of MCM vibe and this is my fave if you want to play up that vibe I use this a lot for inspiration for a pretty simple easy to care for landscape idea

I love big pots filled with seasonal plants for some real interest all year long so from this pic just choose all or parts of it I must say your grass looks awesome , I have none it does not do well in my yard too many big trees .So Ihave perennial beds and gravel and huge plant pots 20 of them actually in total.

To me the white/cream color brick looks too much like foundation, and divides the house horizontally in an unappealing look. I'd start by painting it the same color as the house, then plant.

Oh my gosh, the lush green lawn is beautiful! Your seasons are so nice there. Consider looking for a japanese holly shrub, a couple of them under each window in front. On left side I would look to add a star magnolia shrub. Look for a tall square planter to have one on each side of porch at ground level (maybe black to tie in with the porch railings), fill with annuals that you can change with the seasons. I too would consider painting the brick same as house color, along with the porch and step. On the right side near side entrance, I would look to put a cute bench under the window there, with a small pot of flowers nearby.

Still to tooo many unknowns for suggestions from a forum like this. What's your ZONE, how much SHADE/sun on those beds, what's your opinion of low maintenance. No garden is no maintenance. Not even all that mulch. Head to your LOCAL garden center. Bring pictures. Ask all your questions there. They are highly qualified to give advice for where you live.

Shrubs that don't have to be pruned are a good for low maintenance. Evergreen shrubs to the left of your entry, because winter can be so drab. It's nice to have evergreens by the entry. Holly is nice. Boxwood might work, but the boxwood blight makes it risky if it's that far north. Don't want evergreens to right of entry because of the snow getting dumped on the sidewalk.

Some of my favorite flowering shrubs in Michigan/Indiana are the big old-fashioned 'Snowball' hydrangea and the bridal wreath, and they would look great with your house. spirea https://myperfectplants.com/products/bridal-wreath-spirea-shrub

you missed the tree .... perennial and shrub forums...

you need to put a couple trees out in that heavily fertilized lawn... so soften the appearance of the lot from the street..

a few strategically spaced shrubs out 10 or 15 feet from the house would also help .;.

and then fill those rather small beds with perennials

frankly.. there isnt enough space in those tiny beds for trees nor shrubs.. unless you plan on moving in 5 years.. and then the next owner will be asking us.. what was the prior owner thinking...

I like the brick, but not the shutters. If you paint the house, I'd do the windows to match the brick, a bit creamier.

I'm guessing the house faces East and gets morning sun. Based on that, I'd put a dwarf mountain laurel or two in the corner by the right hard door., which I'm guessing doesn't get a lot of full afternoon sun. I'd underplant with some moss phlox.

I'm hesitant to suggest anything for the front of the house because how much afternoon sun you get.

I second the need for a tree or two in your yard. I'd put a lovely flowering tree like a dogwood or redbud or magnolia on the left corner. slightly in front of the house, far enough away that when it is full grown the canopy won't touch the house.

Some option to go
