Comments (3)Good advice. However, be sure it's 100% Acrylic Latex enamel. Satin is a good choice too. Satin is the only choice when buying a pre-finished entry door. Satin has a better appeal. Michael...See MorePainting front door for *curb appeal*
Comments (14)Here is a suggestion for door colors from a feng shui online source. "If you'd like to bring new energy to your home, painting your front door a different color can help. Red is often recommended because in feng shui the color red is associated with success and prosperity, but that may not be the most appropriate choice for everyone. Choose a color that you like, that will be appropriate to the rest of the house exterior, and that supports your goals. Black and dark blue are the colors associated with opportunities, social contacts, and career success. Green is associated with wood energy, which is uplifting in nature. Lighter shades of green are associated with new growth and new beginnings; darker shades of green are associated with the energy of mature trees and forests. Both green and purple are associated with "fortunate blessings" which include (but are not limited to) financial prosperity. Yellows and browns are associated with the stability of earth energy, but may not be the best choice for a front door, where you would like the chi to be more active. White is associated with metal and creativity, but it will show dirt more clearly, so be sure to keep it clean. A few words of caution about red: In traditional Chinese feng shui, there are certain unlucky "star combinations" that can be activated by the color red. It's possible your house has one of these combinations at the front door. Also, each year (using the Chinese calendar), one of the eight directions or the center of the house will be an inauspicious place to use red. In order to find out if either of these situations is an issue for your home you will need to do a compass-method analysis of your home. Or, use the "try it and see" method: paint your front door red and see what happens. If your luck takes a big turn for the worse (illness, unexpected major expenses, loss of a contract or job, etc.), run back to the paint store and repaint the door another color."...See MoreQuick response needed on painting front door
