As a long-running door specialist, we feel qualified to tell you not to play down the importance of identifying the best front door colours for your home.
People’s first impressions of your property could be significantly influenced by the finish your front entryway adorns, so it needs to impress.
Your door colour can also say so much about you – a bright hue hints at a positive occupier, while a cooler tone indicates someone with a calm persona. If paired well, there’s no reason why a neutral shade would be regarded as too safe.
3 Steps to Selecting a Perfect Front Door Colour
Step 1 – Observe Home Style and Architecture
You need to respect your home’s existing style and ensure your colour choice is in harmony with it, naturally blending in so as not to spoil it.
Step 2 – Think About Location and Lighting
Exposure to natural and artificial light can have differing effects on colour. Get hold of some colour samples so that you can test them in both forms of light and see how they react to it.
Step 3 – Door Maintenance and Longevity
Colour fading is an occurrence that you could do without! It requires a finish that can endure in the face of the elements and needs little attention.
What do Certain Door Colours Represent?
Grey and Black: Classiness and Imposing
There’s a sophistication about grey and black doors, plus they’re amazingly sleek too. Employ their use at modern residences and urban dwellings.
Red: Toughness and Vibrancy
The boldness of a red door suggests confidence and shows you’re not afraid to express your personality. Red is also thought to be a lucky colour.
Blue: Tranquil and Trusty
Blue signals peacefulness, contentment and security. Feel all of that come over you each time you access your home through the door opening.
Green: Natural and Abundant
Green is symbolic of nature and induces thoughts of growth. It’s also seen as emblematic of renewal and abundance.
Colour Recommendations for Different Homes
Modern Homes – The modern residence suits a sleek neutral like white, black or slate grey, establishing a clean and minimalist aesthetic.
Terraced Houses – Make your terraced home the talk of the street with a door finished in a vivid pink or yellow colour.
Cottages – Preservation of a cottage’s unrivalled charm requires something similarly alluring, such as an earthy or pastel finish.
Period properties – Inject renewed flair into that period setting using classic heritage colours, like traditional black, navy blue or deep red.
