What color options do I have to paint front door?
-
The Garden Frog with C Renee on Sep 26, 2014what's your favorite color? Vibrant red, deep burnt orange, blood red. That would really catch your eye. As for the screen door, I would think about taking it off and painting it the same color as the door. I always wondered why people do not do that since the screen door is what is seen. Then I would put some color on your porch with a big colored pot of flowers! Maybe even paint the bistro set a vibrant color too. Your decorations are so cute! have fun!Helpful Reply

Shari on Sep 26, 2014I would consider your siding color, gray, a neutral so your color choices for the doors are basically endless. However, since the gray siding is a darker shade, I think a light or bright color on the doors would pop more, rather than something dark or muted. I would definitely paint the screen door and the interior door the same color and repeating the color with flowers, or painting the chairs or a big flower pot would also add needed color and visual interest.Helpful Reply

Lisa Ludlow on Sep 27, 2014What are the colors in your home? If the door is open will it flow with the rest of your house. We have a similar color scheme to our house. We went with a deep cranberry and a screen door to match. Inside our home our walls are a deep golden yellow with cranberry accents. Now having said all that it is time for me to paint that stinkin' door again. :) I'm just waiting on cooler weather.Helpful Reply

Janie Hardy Grissom on Sep 27, 2014I love watching the curb appeal TV shows. They always tell you to make your front door stand out to be inviting. With your color schemes they often use red on the door. I think that would still show off nice behind your screen door & give you color to play off of for all the seasons.Helpful Reply

Lori on Sep 27, 2014Burgandy would also be my choice, but Anita is right, it'sonly paint and in this case it's only a qt. Sometimes, I hang things up, like a sheet or something in a color you are thinking about, over the door, and it will give you an idea.Helpful Reply

Wanda sinnema on Sep 27, 2014I painted ours a deep plum-burgundy.... We bought a burgundy storm door, almost like yours (LOVE IT)..... took a sample piece of it to the paint store,,,,color matched the front door paint .. YOur hardware is silver, the grey-burgundy with silver in the window and hardware would be would be a great combo. If you are thinking of changing the storm door too.. would also compliment the beige brick.. Our house is a bit darker brick, tan window frames and burgundy door..the idea is to DRAW YOUR EYE to the , as to say "this is where you come in.. or this way.."Helpful Reply

Amy Ogden-Paparone on Sep 28, 2014I'd go with something Bright and Loud! Being your home is mostly gray/white/black, you could paint your door Hot pink if you wanted and it'd look great.

You should go look on Pinterest, I'm sure you'd find one you'd love!Helpful Reply

Betty Miller on Aug 17, 2015Since the walls are grey/green I would not paint red unless you went dark wine color you don't want a Christmas tree look. Can't tell if the brick is just on the porch?
