  • where I live, the homeowner's association requires that two houses next to each other can not have the same color scheme. If you don't have that rule, I say go with whatever makes you happy. If you like the white and dark chocolate, what about a teal or yellow door!? Do what you like. I am sure it will be fabulous!

    It is hard to make those kinds of suggestions without a pic of the house. I'm inclined to steer away from a large white house with a dark trim...it may appear to be very boxy. What about a light yellow house with white trim and gray accents and a beautiful red door?

    Hi Jukefrog, It would be easier if we had a picture of your home or something similar. If you want your house to stand out, how about a really unusual statement door all together! Here's a link with some really neat front doors!! https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+unusual+front+doors&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjdzr_4sLzVAhVDRiYKHQjIBtgQsAQILw&biw=1600&bih=794


    I tend to think outside the box, so I apologize in advance if you think it's a crazy idea, but anyone can have a red door, a brown door etc... :)


    Have fun!

    I love the idea of a red door. Especially when you pair it with a white house. Red makes a statement. Good luck.

    Hello Jukefrog; What I would personally suggest that you do is this.

    Please go to Ace Hardware, Home Depot, Etc. Get as many paint chips in as many colors that you are attracted to.

    Bring them home, and look at them outside. Decide what you Love and Enjoy seeing.

    Choose what makes you Happy. This is your Home, Make it beautiful!!!!Make it Shine!!!

    I hope that this helps you!!! Take Care!

    I'm trying to send pic, but not working. I'll think about what you said. I'm not a big yellow person. Maybe I can change.
