Ideas to update the exterior?

We just bought our first house and we're pretty excited, but it definitely needs some work. I don't really love the green trim. I was thinking it would look a lot better if we had it pained it black. Thought? Any other ideas to help improve curb appeal?

HELP NEEDED - matching color to granite top
Comments (17)Hi, We suggest that you go for grey (safer) or black (more "loud" and daring) laminate colours as it matches really well with the granite you have. These colours will definitely give a touch of elegance and express a modern look theme! You may also do polishing for your Granite to give it back its shine thus you will look like you have a new kitchen! Please do contact us in jojo@stoneamperor.com.sg and we may provide you more information and feedbacks about countertops! Cheers, Stone Amperor team...See MoreLeather Storage Trunks Today

6 years agoCongrats on your house. The porch and front door can provide a lot of personality to any home.
Porch: As mentioned here, your brick railing is out of character. Definitely consider rebuilding with a period railing.
Front Door: You could purchase a period matching new entry door (if don’t have already). I believe if it’s something you touch and enjoy every day it‘s worth the budget line item. But simplest is to paint your existing door. It can be a third color and a bold contrast color. You can find many examples.
Accent: Also consider a third accent color for details - porch column caps, body bands or drip edges. It can be higher or lower contrast depending on what mood your after.
Here’s an example of dark red on sage green. Opposites in the color wheel.

And of course landscape makes a big difference, as seen here also. In addition to “curb appeal”, it should bring years of joy to come home to.
Have fun!
