What colour should I replace the windows and front door with?

2 years ago

The windows and front door and the wooden structure above the front door needs replacing. We are replacing front door for double front door.Just not sure whether to go for white aluminium windows and keep the front door and the structure above maybe a gray colour. But very open to any ideas. Many thanks.

I think a cream or grey all over could look good, or as you said, white/cream windows with grey structure (may with a white door?)

What a great decision to have to make, I wish I lived on a colourful street. Lucky you. I like either the salmon pink of the first photo or the palest pink of the second photo. I’d stick to white for the door. Keep us updated with what you decide, I don’t think you can go wrong with most colours but I wouldn’t want to be the boring one in the row

I would prefer to see a colour too, rather than anthracite - which can turn into a bit of a black hole for a front door. I like a front door to be more interesting than just matching the window frames. Agree that doing the whole thing would be best to maximise the size of the door - especially since it's not huge and it's not centred on the front of the house - so you want it to be really obvious where the door is and draw people to it.

Beautiful view. It’s a traditional house so calls for traditional timber windows not UPVC ones, nor do you require coloured lights in the top. Although you might want a view the design of those windows could be better. Split the big panes up into sections. Is the reason you don’t use the front door because it’s awkward to use it because of having 2 doors? If you have no plans to use the door in the image I would be tempted to get rid of the outside doors and just have the inner doors as it will provide you with a covered area.

I had my old back door removed and bricked in and added a window. Try to use the same bricks - a good brickie can identify them straight away. My brother is a builder/brickie and he knew exactly which bricks mine were! Although they may not be a perfect match as the original ones will have faded, they won’t look too shabby. I agree with Angie to try and match the window style with the other one. This is mine, sorry about the mess, but hopefully you can see the new and old bricks.

White is a classic, but I think a pale grey or taupe would go nicely with the red brick.

Thankyou all for your comments, I agree those pictures look great with that colour. Would you do the front door and the structure above in the same colour?

I would but you could do the door a bolder colour if you wish. I found this picture with the palest of grey for the balcony and a darker grey for the door. I also love yellow or berry doors but it’s quite a statement! So much choice.
