I have a large pot on my shaded front porch filled w/ Chinese evergreen & purple tradescantia - right next to it is is a dracaena. Another nearby pot, also shaded, has a double-stalked tricolor(pink) dracaena w/ a trailing houseplant I forgot the name of. IOW, consider low-maintenance houseplantsâ¦.

I think the teal color would be pretty and if you keep your yellow planters that would be a nice combo. Are you going to paint your shutters or the piece behind the light? The door knob and handle changed to a black would help tie it together as you have a black roof, a black light and some black brick. But from a safety point, I would like to make a suggestion: Have you thought about getting a wrought iron rail for the porch to keep your little one from falling off or when going up the stairs? If you removed the larger plant in front of the stair and added a black rail, this would be another design element (and safer too!).

jck910, I guess I do not see the difference between using white and another color....here is a picture of the door leading to the garage which is white and I think it sticks out just like a color would...the color on the front door seems more cream or off white

Don't forget that you can paint a door different colors on the inside and the outside (many people do). For the outside of your door, I think a dark blue might get lost or look like a dark hole so I would go with the light gray to match your other trim. On the inside, you could go blue, white, or whatever suits the rest of the room.
