Yellow would be so cheerful and goes great with your existing color scheme.
I love an eggplant color front door.

I agree, yellow and reds will make it pop. Add a couple of large yellow flower pots with red flowers and leafy green plants on each side of the door.
Look through these and see if it gives you any ideas. Happy painting!

Hi Kelly! I'd suggest a STRONG color and one you love. Lime Green, bright yellow, deep teal, bright turquoise, red....the eggplant would be beautiful that was suggested and very classy looking.
Hi Jani,
You've had some suggestions for the color of your front door but I have some different ideas for brightening up the look. I don't know how much room you have next to your front door. However, I'd suggest anything that is bright and cheerful. You could have red or yellow flower pots (Paint them yourself if you can't find the right color). Use colored flowers in those pots or maybe a bright green plant.
Another idea, if you have room, would be to put 1 or 2 brightly colored chairs on your on your porch with a small table between them. Add some flowers to a pot on that table to be a bright spot in the front of your house. I had a white house with a partial wall of brick and black shutters. I used red geraniums in the garden around my house and in flower pots on my steps. I currently have blue shutters and now use pink, burgundy, and purple petunias in my garden and on my porch.
One more idea is to put some window boxes under your windows. I have one on the side of my house when it connects to the garage. I fill that with some greens and the three colors of petunias so that it looks bright & cheerful.
Of course, you can also change the color of your front door, as the others have suggested. I just think that colorful flowers brighten up the look of a home. I hope this helps. Wishing you the best.
You have a great background for a pop of color. A bright aqua blue is gorgeous on a front door.
I like a red or maroon for a door.
I like Red with the black and white
try adding a colorful cushion to your bench, as well as some colorful planters with hardy plants.
Any bright saturated color would look fabulous with black and white! Paint it your favorite color! If you are not sure, go look in your clothes closet. What come is the most prominent? That's your door color!
That's a great idea - thanks!!!
