what colour for front door??
Comments (6)Oh my goodness! If you're bold enough to paint your house frenzy purple, you don't need anyone's advice on what color to paint your door and fence, maybe just which shade of yellow. Why don't you post the yellows that you are thinking about and a picture of your house and then ask for HOUZZERs' opinions. (I would love to see a pic. of your house regardless.)...See Morewhat colour render and front door?
Comments (6)I think you can have any colour front door you like. With regards render, i'd go for a cool tone if you're having grey windows. Jasmine white looks good on the colour card, but my experience of Dulux and that shade in particular, is that they come up a lot lighter than you think they will, and the cards aren't that accurate. I've no idea if you can get testers of those....See MoreFront Door Paint Colour
Comments (11)There's probably a lot of houses nearby that have similar colours in the brick and similar doorways so wander around and see if any inspire you. I like a muted mid-green against the brick. Blues (and teals) also look good with the orange brick. You've got to make sure the colour isn't too 'clean' though (so not a clean baby blue) as the render and brick are both 'dirty'/muted colours. I'd prefer to see something either paler or more colourful - but nothing too dark as it just turns the space into a black hole (like your neighbours). Another option is to paint the woodwork around the door a pale neutral and then just paint the actual door the colour - it'll stick out more that way rather than blend into the background. I agree with you on the black windowsills - they are making the windows appear smaller and look like bags under the eyes of the house. It does tie in the black from the woodwork on the gable end though and keeps it in keeping with the neighbours - would you consider painting all the woodwork on the front of the house?...See MoreHelp with front door colour!

6 years agoI realised that I never sent a photo of the new door that I decided to paint mint green, following ColourHappy advice. it was a great advice. everybody in my street complemented me. thanks Colourhappy! (there is a skip on the photos because we decide to remove the tarmac and have a front garden back!)
