How to choose the right front door colour for your home

Your home’s entrance door can have a massive impact on the overall appearance of your property’s exterior. It can add kerb appeal and help to bring together the style and architectural design of your home’s façade. Choosing the right front door for your home can be difficult. You’ll need to think about what style suits your home best, how secure your new door will be and what levels of thermal protection it will provide. Perhaps the biggest impact, however, will come from your new door’s colour.

What is the best front door colour for your home?

What colour is best for your home’s entrance door will depend on three important factors. Firstly, personal preference is extremely important. If you don’t like the colour, then you won’t appreciate it adorning your home. Secondly, it must fit in with the style of your home. Some colours are more suited to traditional properties while others look better on more modern homes. Finally, you’ll need to decide what effect you want to produce with your entrance door’s colour. Do you want it to be bright and bold or more understated?
