First and foremost, I'd keep all the floors one color and look into the Ralph Lauren paints which I highly recommend.

I was thinking of going with a light grey coat for your house like the Ralph Lauren Natural color Plantation (RL Number: NA43 with a Cathedral Gray (RL Number NA44) trim for the windows and railings.

Stick to neutrals and earth tones like khaki, grey, white, or black since a more vibrant color may turnoff some prospective buyers and resale value.

Definitely paint all the walls and the fireplace one color. I would look into Ralph Lauren paints' Modern Light colors. A light grey with a hint of green would make the difference. Consider Garden Moss (RL number: 14) or Sea Grass (RL number: 15). A light almost pastel color neutral color would make the place seem bigger and would go great with the grey sofa and most wooden furniture.

I would look into Ralph Lauren's Urban Loft collection of colors. For the body, I'd go with color Grey Stone (RL Number - UL14). Shutters would be Stonewall (RL Number: UL17). Trim would be Cream Stone (RL Number: UL54). Finally, the door would be Lancaster Blue (RL Number: UL 34). These grey-blue combo would fit wit your charcoal roof and the red-green interiors.

I too like the idea of trunks or chests since it provides ample storage and literally hides them away. Low benches are another decorative idea that has proven useful and interesting.
