Morning all
Just completing finishing touches to the outside of our house (literally, decorator has just arrived!) The rendering is limestone white, windows anthractite and front door is being painted anthracite too. However its a big old door and has a reasonably
ornate frame around. I cant decide whether to go slightly lighter with the door frame. Does anyone have any thoughts?

Comments (1)Hi Harriet. I think it's fine to paint this door in any lighter colour you like. For your interior doors and cupboards though you could consider painting them in the wall colour, it often works for smaller rooms with more than one door so they blend into the walls and it looks less busy and therefore more spacious...See MoreWhat colour should I paint my front door?
Comments (7)Hi, I'd keep both the same colour and I don't mind the white; however the exterior has fairly warm hues with the porch door, tiles, brickwork and so the white is a contrast. If you are looking to paint the door, I'd go for Taupe-grey so there's a hint of brown present just to make the external door and internal door feel more cohesive....See MoreShould we change the colour of our front door?

Comments (16)I live in a similar era house. Are you not actually allowed to change the window colour or is it that you don't want them to stand out? I think that black windows would look better so the darker the better. For me the first thing that had to go on my house was the square browns guttering. We changed ours to black and our painted the woodwork underneath the guttering black and it dragged it forward by twenty years. I know this isn't the answer to your question but I thought I would mention it as I have a similar era house....See More
