How To Pick The Right Front Door Color

Home is where the heart is and the place where people spend most of their time.  The first thing you see is the front door.  This is why it's so important to make sure you have a great front door color.  Plus, your door color is one of the easiest and most cost effective changes to make.  Let's take a look at how to pick the right color.

1.  Pick the best color for the house.

Blue might be your favorite color, but it might be terrible on your front door.  Make sure you select the best color for the environment and not just a color you like. There are several factors to take into consideration.  Take a look at the brick, wood, accents and shutters before making a decision.  Don't be afraid to experiment.  It might take a few tries before you get the right one.

2.  Reflect your personal style

Outside is always more difficult than inside for color selection.  The sun plays a big role.  Natural light tends to fade color so it's okay to use a bolder or darker color outside.  Be sure and look at your selection at different times of day so you can see your color in different lighting. You might even try the same color in different shades.

3.  Using the right paint

Ideally, you want to use a latex based paint on the front door.  Acrylic based paints are durable and flexible.  This way you have some give as your door expands and contracts with the exterior temperature.  Look at the age and condition of the door before selecting your gloss (or sheen).  High gloss will really show imperfections, so for an older door, consider semi-gloss or low luster.
