Grey is my favourite colour right now, however I thin your door need a bit more depth to it. A deep burgundy or blue would make it stand out. I would suggest hanging baskets either side of the door complimenting the door colour too. Leave the door frames white though to match the windows. Good luck with your choice, I'm sure you'll pick a fantastic colour and love it!

I think thats a really good solution. The simpler the palette the less fussy a house looks. Too many colours and materials do not lead to a cohesive result. It's your house it should be your taste. It's always good to get a few opinions though in case you have missed something obvious or someone else has a brilliant idea with the benefit of detachment and previous experience.

I'd vote for all black. It will really set off the detailing of the arch. It's such an interesting shape. Maybe add a potplant (small tree) either side too, something like olive or bay in a black pot..

Hi Louise - I’m so glad you asked that question as I’ve just been googling the exact same thing! I have a red brick Victorian cottage, and want to change the door fixtures and colour. It’s currently not a million miles from Painswick, but with more yellow it in that hasn’t aged well. I’m considering F&B De Nimes blue, and seeing Sonia’s Pigeon blue has strengthened my feeling about that - grey/blue and terracotta look great together, I think. Do post your eventual choice, I’d love to see it!
