what color should i paint my front doors?

4 years ago

My house is a cape cod style with slate blue grey siding and white trim and dark grey roof. The garage door is stained wood. I have two front entrances. Front door is in the center of the house with a long covered front porch. The 2nd door also faces front with a smaller covered porch set back between the front door and garage.

My two favourite colours to go with a blue grey house are goldenrod or berry red. Pumpkin orange is a strong third.

A dark, bold emerald green could work well. You might also consider adding an awning over your door or even a roof over your front stoop for a covered porch to help protect your door and keep you dry as you pause to unlock your door when it's raining. https://www.generalawnings.com/door-awnings-c-80/pc1200-series-door-canopy-p-271?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_MCMw7P93AIV3LfACh0C-AuREAQYBCABEgLBDvD_BwE

I really think it would give your home a brighter look..fresh and crisp..I think it would be a great change just the trim painted....I would consider doing that before painting the front door.

I’ll try to get better pictures tomorrow. We have a large tree in the front right now so the house is fairly hidden Behind the leafy branches.

I think a vivid color door would make your house look modern. A light blue door would matches with the color of your house and would be very beautiful to look at.
