Front Door
Go back to black. It’s hardly the wildest front-door option, but black remains incredibly popular for a reason. It looks super smart, it never goes out of style, and it suits all types of houses. But to make sure it’s chic instead of bleak, add some potted topiary, chrome or brass elements, and make sure that the rest of the paintwork is crisp and bright. Job done.
You love bold color but have a few constraints to contend with, such as extreme weather or picky neighbors. Take a look at blues, specifically light gray-blues, such as the one shown here. It’s light enough that it won’t absorb heat from the sun or fade too quickly, and because of the good amount of gray in it, it likely won’t offend the neighbors or your homeowners association. Some light grayish-blue paint colors to consider are Parma Gray from Farrow & Ball, which is pictured here, and Mild Wind Blue from Glidden.
