Check out 8 front door colors trending today
Between trick-or-treaters and holiday guests, your front door is going to see a lot of action this fall. So why not give it a color boost? Not only will a new front door color freshen your curb appeal, it’ll lift your spirits all winter long.
Think about it. The front door is the most important element on the exterior of your home. It should stand out and say “Welcome.” Project your personality through your front door color, providing a promise of what’s inside. Changing your front door’s color gives you a chance to make an inexpensive mark on your home’s personality.
Apple’s Paint the Front Door app makes it easy to select the right color. The app gives you the ability to see what your home would look like in any color. Take a picture of your front door, select from one of the 24 carefully selected colors from the emotional color wheel and choose the color that is an expression of you. Here’s a list of colors that are hot now:
- Bright red. A bright red door might seem a bit “out there” for a traditional home, but not if it has a classic paneled design and traditional brassware that tones down the shade.
- Think pink. The neighbors will be talking about your unusual pink front door. Not shocking but not shy and retiring either. Use a salmon shade.
- Orange you glad to be home? Also in the “notice me” department, a vibrant shade of orange is hard to beat
- Bright Blue for the great Pacific Ocean. Here in Santa Barbara, bright blue is always an excellent choice. It suits the coastal feel of the house and works well with gray siding and a white wall.
- Basic black. Black is always incredibly popular because it looks super smart and never goes out of style.
- Navy hue. Try a deep indigo, add a matte finish to give a modern edge.
- Transform with yellow. You’ll simply have to tell everyone, “You can’t miss it. It’s the house with the yellow door.”
- Go green. You can’t go wrong if you go green. Doors painted green look especially good with lots of greenery in your front yard.
