Front door pizazz needed

I’d love to jazz up the exterior of our home and would like to start with the front door color. Please, advice is needed on the color. And... do I have to paint the single pair of shutters the same color??

    I would simply step up the landscaping at the entrance (use lots of hostas in the citron color) & paint the door and shutters with a better paint. Purchase new house numbers

      Can you show the front door? I love your home. The only issue I see is the screen door and I would remove that so your front door shows. What color is it now?

      Remove the screen door so we can see, and while you're at it, move the urns off the steps and onto the porch where they aren't a tripping hazard. I broke a leg in just that scenario.

      The front door is currently black. While the weather is nice, I’m going to leave the screen in place so that I can enjoy the fresh air. Unfortunately, I had to move the urns to where they currently are as they were getting drowned by overflowing gutters during heavy rains.

      Sometimes the best route is a subtle route. The last thing I would do would be to jazz up the front door. Install a full glass screen door if you are in habit of leaving the front door open. And paint the door itself one of the background colors of the stone.

      A gray blue would look great with your stone. This stone reminded me of yours.

      Houzz reversed the photos, but the other photo is a more blue green which might also work. Blue if stone presents itself more gray and if the stone is more sand tones, use a green/blue tone.

      Flo Mangan - I like this idea, thanks. Do you think the shutters have to match the door color?

      You're lucky that your house is traditional but retains excellent proportions from the early 20th C. (?)


      One thing you might consider is how to light up the entrance at night, perhaps by use of low voltage lights that are hidden in the recesses of the entrance, so that the entryway, from bottom to top (second floor) is illuminated subtly. (not by only the lantern)


      Also as far as a paint color for the shutters, why not take the very darkest stone and custom match it? Valspar "Garden Walk" was suggested by the darkest stone. "Night View" by Valspar is a dark blue/gray hue. Here are some schemes they suggested:

      Shutters do not have to match.

      If you want pizzaz, I'd go with a cranberry red, or maybe a logan green. Otherwise the black is very stately.

      I love the black door. I think planting red Japanese maples something like this,


      on either side of the door would give your entry a pop!

      What a lovely home! I don't know what to advise as to the color of the door - but no, the shutters don't need to match the colors should coordinate though. Some colorful plants in those urns would also help with the pizzazz factor.

      I think the black looks great. I agree with colorful landscaping and a full view clear storm door that would show off the entry door. Beautiful home-

      Guess it depends on what you want. You said pizzaz and black is classic for sure, and I always like black, but if you want to "jazz" it up, pick a pretty wood and do your trim in a blue/gray color.

      I would stick with the black color, I would just upgrade the door so that it looks more stately and matches with the grandeur of the house. I would also add a decorative iron railing on that front porch to help bring it "out" some.
