Suggestions on front door paint color
5 years ago
last modified: 5 years ago
Looking for a few suggestions on what color I should paint my front door? I want something inviting but not overly loud/bold. I’m not opposed to installing a new door either, this is just the one installed when we purchased the house.
This picture is from this summer before I did the landscaping along the walkway and in front of the left side of the house.
Thanks in advance!

Front door color suggestions?
Comments (9)Oh my goodness, y'all are awesome! Thanks so much for the suggestions! Beth H., I was considering a navy color at one point, but would it clash with the black shutters? I am awful with color rules. Roof Wizard, I love the teal and was leaning that way but you've really given me something to consider with the coral! I didn't even think of that as an option before. Jackitriplett, I suppose it doesn't need to be the same color on the inside as it is on the outside. I just assumed it's supposed to be the same on both sides and thought maybe it would look strange when opening it to have it two-toned? I've never had a front door with a non-neutral paint color so I'm just guessing at that :)...See MoreDo you paint the sidelights on front door the color as the front door
Comments (2)All the same color because it's essentially one in the same element. In other words, you can have a door with no side lights but you can't have side lights without a door. That's why it doesn't make sense to paint the side lights a different color from the door....See MoreFront door - what color should I paint porch and front door?

Comments (7)I would try doing a gel stain in ebony rather than paint that door. It is so pretty and I can see where a darker ebony tone would look stunning. But you have to make sure you understand the proper preparation for the existing finish and material of the door and sidelights so you get it right. Not an easy project no matter what you decide....See More
