Paint it Olive green with Porch and Arch Window surround White
It's a very formal look that you could break up with some color from flowers.
your home is contemporary,do you want a different color scheme?
Some large floral planters with a variety of colors. You need to add more color to make it less formal
I agree with everyone who mentioned color. something strong and contemporary, keeping in mind the color of the roof. An intense darker color will visually shift the weight to your house and you have a number of great elements to highlight.
Some contemporary art in the gardens and garden lights. Two big black pots at the door with yukkas or grasses in them. I can't see your letterbox but you could modernise that too. It's a great looking house!
Add contemporary style lighting to the entrance area. Also, possible a darker color on the garage door. Contemporary usually involives crisp edges, so may change landscape beds to less curve. You have a gorgeous home, but I like that you are wanting to put your own style on it.
Here is a site with pics of contemporary style homes. Maybe you will get some ideas.
