Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Front Hallway Door Colour

3 years ago

We recently added a new front door and it is the same colour on both sides as suggested by installer.I love my new door but my dilema is the colour of door in same space going into our garage.It is white to match previous front door and directly across is oak stained French doors leading to living room.Should I paint it to match front door or leave it as is. Any ideas help appreciated as I m not happy with the way it is now.I will include pics of all 3 doors in that space so hopefully someone will have an idea what I can do as I’m not thrilled with it as is.Thank you

not a pro. so....the oak doors are mostly glass, so it's just the trim that is wood. I can't really tell what color the front door with the stained glass is - navy or black? The other door, even though you're not happy with it, blends in with the rest of the wall, so I'd leave it. I think it would look odd to paint it to match the front door.

Thanks for your thought lukki! You are right, white would be a very practical choice. I hope we will move in the next couple years, so from that perspective a practical, safe choice is probably the way to go. And if the doors stay white I am fine to paint the trim (it's minimal, not fancy) as well. Maybe a fresh, brighter white will look better than the current "white", which seems quite dingy.

I hope the walkway planned is at least 4’ wide. With a white house, I think you could really play with a front door color. You need a landscaping plan and the plants can echo the door color.

Do you paint the sidelights on front door the color as the front door
Q

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.
