Pick a color from your brick and do the shutters in and paint your door a bright color like a teal would be pretty. along side of the long garage door wall get some metal planters on stands and put some plants in them. It looks like you have side lights by the door. I would paint that trim the color of your siding to make your doorway stand out more.
With the neutral colors of your house, you can paint the front door almost anything bright. I might paint the trim surrounding the door a bright white to make it really stand out.
I like the idea of black shutters. Maybe a combo like this...https://www.houzz.com/photos/740593/Home-Renovation-and-Addition-in-Decatur-traditional-exterior-atlanta

https://www.houzz.com/photos/456802/Green-Tea-victorian-exterior-boston I think the garage door needs to be painted also to break up the expanse of beige.
I would pick a complementary color which is across on the color wheel. Since your in brown tone you can go with Yellow tone

Windows or faux windows with shutters on the wall next to your sidewalk to add architectural interest and break up that large expanse of beige.

Ok your lacking curb appeal but with black shutters, painting the front door a focal point color as pictured below and a wreath for each season and garage door paint in black, this will give you that pop of color needed. The bench spray paint that black satin and angle it and add black seat cushion and pillows in a stripe pattern that has black beige and door color and add a hanging chandlier over the bench. Find one at thrift store and spray it black add timer candles or solar lights. You need 4 large urns two at your door and the other two on each side of the garage painted in black, these are on clearance now. Other great idea if your budget not to tight is add recess lighng above front door and along over hang wall going up to the door. I hope you enjoy my ideas😍 And can't wait to see your finished curb appeal 🔨
Thanks, Julie. At least I've something to work with now...
Avoid black on your front door, because it will disappear. I can see why it was painted a light colour. Red is a good idea as others have mentioned, but with charcoal shutters. I personally would paint the garage doors the same colour as the siding or 1 or 2 shades darker. You can dress it up with hardware if you would like. I like that your eavestroughs and downspouts are the siding colour, as they are not architectural features.
