What color doors would look good on this exterior?
What color doors would look good on this unusual house? (Facing the house, the left side is the main front door, the right door enters the kitchen.) I assume both doors should be the same? We do plan to relandscape to make the main entrance more obvious. I was thinking about black exterior doors, but afraid they would recede too much. Any thoughts about color?

Comments (11)Your home is BEAUTIFUL inside! What a wonderful job you have done with it! I love the old wooden floors, the crisp white trim, and your modern furnishings. It is lovely. You have done a great job with it. I like the beige/gray walls inside, as well as the gray tones that you have used. Your home could look wonderful painted a blue/gray color, if you want a change. You could experiment with some color on your porch with large black modern style pots filled with colorful flowers. Your yard, as I see it, is mostly paved. So, if you want to bring color there, too, a planter under your front window (with the awning) would be nice. Trust your judgment AND taste. You have both!...See MoreWhat colors would look good and update exterior trim?
Comments (27)C Renee- I have to chuckle when you ask me how we chose the sandstone color!! It's been a domino affect from the beginning! I would have changed the siding to a color I like better, but hubby said it would cost too much. Then he didn't want white windows because they are hard to keep looking clean, and then he got his way with the roof also. I have struggled with the look of the exterior for a loooong time and my husband hasn't wanted to spend the money on changing it!! I probably should have put my foot down years ago, but we had so many things that needed to be done, inside and out, I chose to spend the money on the inside, and he spent money on boat's and water toys!!!( we've enjoyed the lake stuff with our family, so that isn't a regret, just disappointing that we couldn't do both, financially.) Now, we are in desperate need of a new deck (that will cost a ton cuz it wraps around to front), a new sunroom, and landscaping. So, to answer your question ;-), I guess because hubby didn't want white windows, and I didn't want a dark brown window, this was what we ended up with!! Now, I am trying to hopefully achieve something more appealing to my eye with paint, since we need painting done. :-) And yes, the white garage doors are going!! whether hubby likes it or not!!! LOL (and yes, the color is a taupey gray on the anderson windows)....See Morewhat color white would look good for a craftsman style home?

3 years agoWhat you need before choosing door color is a walkway to the actual entry you want used for guests That walkway should be from the street . Do you use the kitchen entry? This is a awesome MCM house so be careful what you do to it. Black would be the last color choice for a door unless all the windows are black. but I need to see your garge door since it is the frist thing you see it needs to be a MCM style with glass and ideally with a door style that either matches or at least has some MCM style. The landscpaing is what will make this place really take shape.I actually had to reread the post since the door beside the garge is what I thought was the main entry .Are you planning on any interior redesign ? That will affect the exterior if you are. Now even more so you need to have that entry be amazing .This is one of my favorite MCM landscape ideas and it could be used for inspiration for yours for sure All that attention aimed at the actual front door . is that kichen door the only way to enter from the garage ?
