For windows as well as walls, as Nan says, it is the direction that the sunlight is coming from that counts. For example I look out my bedroom window and see the sunrise, I have an east window. The exterior wall that my bedroom window is set into is an east wall, because the sun that is shining on it is coming from the east. As the sun travels from east to west in the northern hemisphere , it takes a southerly path, so midday sun shines into south windows, and afternoon sun to sunset into west windows. Northern windows get indirect light only. Al's list is correct, as far as absolute light is concerned, but I must add my own observation about south windows. When I first moved here, I was excited about having a large south window for my sun lovers. As it turns out, in the summertime, when the sun is high in the sky, I actually get very little direct sunshine through that window. The angle of the sun doesn't allow that strong sun to come in more than a few inches beyond the sill. (the southern wall outside has no such problem and is bathed in strong sun.) So during the summer, I find my west window is far better for the high light plants. In the winter, the light does come through the south window at a better angle, but winter sun is quite weak here in northern IL. My personal favorite exposure is east, right near the window. The majority of non-succulent foliage plants I grow do very well there.

I like many of Yardvaark's suggestions, though I am not a fan of that particular entry since it looks undersized to my eye. Try widening the walk and adding a generous landing, making the front beds deeper, and limbing up the tree in front after consulting with a qualified and licensed arborist to see if it is healthy. I think that all three trees are assets to the home. I am not a fan of walkways lined with plants. They all too often crowd the walkway, interrupt the view to the house, are additional maintenance, and make mowing a bit more work as they divide the yard into two separate areas. Do this much and then live there for a year with the changes before you decide whether the tree needs to go or shutters need adding. I like the current clean look of the architecture, and that type of shallow hip roof doesn't need the shutters to look appropriate. I would rather see a slightly larger, more classic looking roofed entry than shutters if given the choice to dress up the front view, and it would be of more practical value as well.
