Front door color
Please advise what color would be good for our front trim, side panels, and door. Currently we have all matching the garage color. Is that too neurtal? You are seeing primer on the side panels in these

Comments (6)This is a recommended color from SW for Mindful Gray…homburg gray. I would do this on the shutters and the garage doors and leave the wood door as is. The two middle windows shouldn’t have shutters as the won’t fit appropriately, but you are not painting the siding and the darker outlines of the shutters will show if you don’t replace what was there. Personally, would like the house with out shutters and would probably paint the siding and garage doors and have no shutters at all....See MorePlease help me choose a garage door and front door color(s)!
Comments (5)Hi there - thank you for posting! For some added curb appeal, definitely update the color of the garage, front door and two peaks in the front. Make the peaks a fresh, bright white like PPG's Delicate White. The front door and garage door would benefit from a nice, rich navy/gray - like PPG's Silver Blueberry.

Comments (4)WHITE is the most auspicious color for your front door, according to feng shui principles. It will make the door appear bigger with the light trim around it. "Therefore, the best feng shui colors for a west-facing front door are (in order of their auspiciousness): white, gray, light yellow, and all earthy/sandy colours. Avoid the following colors for your west-facing front door: blue, black, red, purple, orange, and deep pink. These colours represent the elements of water and fire and are weakening/destructive to the metal element of west direction." https://www.thespruce.com/feng-shui-colours-for-your-west-front-door-1274992...See Moremamad
4 years agoNo mess with mulberry tree. Looks way overgrown in the picture!! We are leaning toward blue/green, rusty brown, or sun-dried tomato color. My husband prefers reddish, but I like the darker blue-green. i can't see navy with the brick What do you think of a darker brown to pick up the dark in the brick? Turquoise it too light for us

4 years agoMy own bias: I am very anti-brown for houses, unless it’s a cottage in the French or English countryside.
I like a claret or burgundy for the front door. This brick looks brownish to me and the color looks quite lovely. What do you think?
That new picture of the brick shows it to be a pinkish brown? Am I seeing that correctly? Monitors can be so deceiving, finding potential front door paint samples and painting them on large boards to set against your brick would help tremendously.
Just a thought:When I was testing out color ideas for my front door I bought those colored 12x12” pieces of paper for scrapbooking at Michaels and set them against the siding to get an idea of what colors would work. I also bought those little bottles of craft paints and used them to help me narrow down the colors further.
As for lights, do you need three? I tend toward the more modern looking ones, but I don’t think this is too modern:
There are SO many light choices, look online for the widest selection:
Your lights should be 1/4 to 1/3 the length of your door. Yes, that large.
