What color should I paint my front door?
Comments (15)HI -- Your ranch is adorable . I am going to tell you to paint more than just the doors . Put the hanging plants into the planter instead of hanging them , but leave them in the pots so you can change them for seasonal things . In the fall do the Mums and for the winter season and Christmas do birch branches and pine-cones and lights etc. Paint the center entrance / porch section Manchester Tan . Paint the front and storm doors -- Willow all by Benjamin Moore . Put a raised panel below the left window and decorative side panels to the full height on the sides . Paint the under window panel white and the side panels - the Willow . If you can also paint the big front window frame and grids the Willow . To add another bright color such as red with some big plant pots and flowers ....See MoreWhat color should I paint my front door
Comments (7)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...See MoreWhat colour should I paint my front door?
Comments (19)Just looking at your home again, Nina. It's really cute and while I agree with others that you could make a larger impact painting the whole house, I also realize that's not always in the budget. In the meantime, I'd take a que from Beverly's rendering and leave everything as is except I'd paint the portion above the door white to match the door and garage. The light fixture above the mailbox looks a little small so you could add something a little bigger and contemporary. You could install it a little more to the right to help balance the space since the door is off centered in that strip of siding. I'm not sure what your bushes are but I'd try to trim up the one to the left of the front door and probably replace the one to the right with something a little smaller. Small boxwoods below that front bottom window would look very nice. Edge out your beds and add some mulch, power wash your front stoop and sidewalk and it will give you a fresh look for your home. Whatever you end up doing I hope you enjoy it....See MoreWhat color should I paint my front door?
Comments (18)If you are going to widen the step-up, consider installing decking all the way across the porch level with the step. That would be fun. A little more maintenance, and you would have to see how it hits the bottom of the rails. You might be able to remove the rails, or if you like them, add rails to meet the step, then you may not have to widen it or install decking. (Posts likely need to stay.) Regarding deliveries, I have found that some delivery people rarely step all the way into the porch if they don’t have to. Think about where they typically leave packages near your door. You may not need to widen the step for them. Ha! Fedex just delivered a big box. They used the first 2 of the 4 steps up to my porch. That way, they didn’t have to bend over as much....See MoreRelated Professionals
