what colour for front door?

8 years ago

Remodelling a 60's bungalow. We've planned for white rendering on walls, black windows and cladding under them. Got a huge front door with glass panel either side but can't decide which way to go - wood, black or something totally different!!

My first instinct is to recommend a colour that will draw the eye to the front door. However, I recommend that you look around your neighbourhood and see what's going to fit in very well. Some neighbourhoods are very neutral, and others are more colourful. I don't know what country you live in or what the climate is. All of these things factor into making choices.

Grey would look smart or a duck egg blue.

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.)

Hi there, Research suggests that the colour of your front door can tell a lot about a person. However blue seems to be the most positive. Depending on the hue, it could give the impression of intelligence (navy), prosperity (royal) or sincerity (powder). Your door questions answered by www.greentreedoors.co.uk

Dear Gail as far as I can tell from your photo the existing rosewood looks very attractive, indeed it is probably the most attractive rosewood house I have ever seen. In my opinion It is planting that will make the biggest difference, even, as people have already proposed, just adding some planters - however take your time in choosing the right planters/shrubs and plants. Lechuza (www.lechuza.co.uk/) do self watering/sub irrigation planters - nothing worse to bring down the even most attractive house than dried out uncared for planters/garden. Mona Pantsava (available amongst others at www.waterirrigation.co.uk - purchased my water timers here and received great customer care with one faulty timer after a year from purchase) do a range of sub irrigation tanks for standard planters and pots that are not so expensive as lechuza and open up wider choice but you will have to put extra effort in to make your own up (www.albopepper.com explains concept of sub irrigation very well) and give thought to weather resistance. Or look at sprinkler/drip feed watering system. I definitely think improving the planting will make the biggest difference. I hope it all comes together for you.
