New Home - Need Advice, please!

Just closed on a new home today and would like some input on the exterior, more specifically the shutters. Something seems off to me. Should I change out the shutters? Larger, louvered? Color, thinking maybe a wedge wood blue? Also, open to landscaping suggestions as well. Thank you!!

    Yes - it is the shutters. Here's a link to help.

      The shutters look appropriate. Maybe you'd prefer them to be less contrasting with house? The black may be making them appear a little smaller than they really are.

      I think the shutters are a tad small in scale compared to the windows and that is what you are feeling. I like the black, it is a nice contrast. In terns of the landscape most of what you have is distracting from the home, or covering it up as opposed to adding to it. You can't see most of the interesting features except the front door, which is what you are always trying to draw your eye to. I would consult a landscape architect or design build company (interview more than one if you want to go this route) in your area that would be willing to provide a plan. A landscape architect will charge you for the plan, but a design build company will typically give you the plan for free if you pay them to do the installation. It is a lovely home. Congratulations.

      I would remove the shutters as they appear redundant.

      You might want to consider reframing the exterior windows to something heftier

      Thank you all very much! I am going to get with a landscape architect / landscaper in the next couple of weeks and get a plan in place and consider the shutter options as well. I was looking at the front entry light and sconces at the garage and think those could be improved as well.

      I think I've seen almost all of those gaffs he pointed out! Funny looking for sure.
