What is a better paint color for my front door?
Comments (8)If you want to stay with the blue tones then go with something darker particularly if you are going to paint the brick a cream color. If you keep your brick the way it is, I would switch to red/coral or a warm color for your front door accent. In any case, no matter which direction you choose for your front door, please remove the shutters from the right window or size them to the size of the window only and not including the panel below the window. Also, do the shutters on the front door close? Or are they decorative only? They look non-functional at the moment (from here). If they are non-functional, consider removing them entirely and painting any framing (if there is framing) behind them the same white you have on the panel under the right window. I think it will help focus the attention to your front door area....See MoreWhat Color should I paint my front door?

Comments (38)Your house looks more craftsman than country. Especially the design on the windows in the door and sidelights. That said, if the doors and sidelights are wood, I’d rather see the paint stripped and just stain the door a nice medium to dark stain. If they are not wood and need to be painted, I’d go with an olive green, but I actually like the yellow they are now and you could even go more into a mustard. The trim should not be painted to match the door unless you also paint the trim around all the windows. The window trim currently matches the trim around the door, which looks fine IMO. I’d even say strip and stain the window trim if that’s what you do with the door. Just my two cents. Hope you find a solution that you LOVE! Good luck!...See MoreOlychick
