Same gray as around door. Trim is trim…keep it the same.

Ever considered a differenct color for the door?

Sorry…ignore…your front door is a once piece with sidelites. Is the window above part of the entire door install?

When I talked to my builder last week about interior doors and hinges and possibly going with AP or ORB, he said there weren't AP hinges and that SN (or BN?..can't remember) is what is usually used with them. But I'm going in person to a hardware store to look at these finishes in person. This way I can see each finish and shape by each manufacturer before making any decision. I can make more informed decisions by looking in person. I totally overlooked a front door handleset because it looked completely ordinary online. I saw it on someone's front door and loved it. I think in person, you'll be able to get a better feel for what you like.

Can I paint trim on dark brown windows?
Q
Comments (5)
I think all the medium, outdated brown wood of the doors and trim bothers me even more than brown windows. And with the walls, outlets and switches in the house being bland almond, I am in desperate need of some color! I think I will be able to live with the contrast of the windows and trim, since there is no easy fix for any of it that I can find. I'm just hoping to find the look that is easiest on the eye and blends the best that it can. Many have recommended BM White Dove and I've used Simply White in the past.

Do you paint door same color as garage doors or same as other doors???

Try it with the same trim color, but if it pops out too much, go back and do the gray that's on the doors. I'm thinking the trim color will defeat the purpose of blending in the garage doors and side doors. You don't want to call attention to the garage doors, right? Even having gray or black french doors with white trim would have the effect of outlining the doors and making them stand out rather than recede. JMO

Need advice on brown border around Windows (paint to match door?)

It really depends on the look you want. Painting them white (I’d paint deck and garage as well) for more of cottage feel. If you want a rustic, mountain feel, I’d leave frames but duplicate the deck’s color on portico and garage to unify the front. If and when possible, a new door in a soft grey would be nice and add Adirondack chairs and large urns to make entrance area more welcoming

It is. I kinda wish we could get rid of it. Maybe a portico?

I don’t mind the window, but think it would look better if there were separators (munitions) in the glass. The frame of the door…follow those two lines up and imagine the window was “divided”…that would give three section to that window…two the same size as the other windows and one a bit wider. Does that makes sense to you? Hard to explain. Paint all windows like the door frame.

How about an awning?
