A front door is one of the most important architectural features of a house. Think of it as more than a focal point or a place to add curb appeal. It also enhances the facade of a house and acts as a welcome sign, directing visitors where to enter. The front door helps transition people from the outdoor world to an indoor space.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With so many functions, it is no wonder we get lots of questions on colors for doors. The color for a front door depends on several factors. Just like houses, doors come in all shapes, styles and sizes. Keep in mind that a front door color should work with the home exterior\u2019s body and trim color.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"a<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some general rules of thumb:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A black door makes a bold and elegant statement.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door: Limousine Leather MQ5-5<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Light houses are enhanced by darker colored doors.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door: Binary Star N450-6<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Dark colored homes will benefit from bright colored doors. The contrast for both makes them easier to see.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door: Rushing Stream P480-4<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Hidden doorways, or those which might be shaded by a porch or a covered entry, can benefit from a brightly colored door.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"Three<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Traditional looks come with classic navy, burgundy and forest green.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door 1: Inked M510-7<\/a>, Door 2: Cinnabark PPU3-20<\/a>,<\/em> Door 3: Equilibrium T18-20<\/a> <\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A yellow house looks approachable with a crisp white entrance.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door:<\/em> ULTRA PURE WHITE<\/a><\/em>\u00ae<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A green house gets a punch of color with a chili pepper red door.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door: Red Pepper PPU2-2<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

 <\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

A gray house looks welcoming with an eye-catching yellow door.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"A<\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Door: Cellini Gold HDC-CL-18<\/a><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Architectural style and regional location are a consideration for a door color as well. A modern farmhouse looks great with a glossy black or red door.\u00a0 Does your home have Craftsman styling? An earthy green or dark blue entrance will enhance the natural materials on the outside of your home. A coastal home with a fun yellow or turquoise door is a pleasant reminder of waterfront landscapes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Colorfully yours,<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
