White Front Door Design

About White Front Door Design Android App

The colour of your front door is pretty much a matter of personal taste. However, since the front door is the focal point of your home's exterior, it is also the part that will make a first impression on anybody seeing and visiting your home for the first time. It is amazing what a big role the front door plays in making these first impressions, and it can be quite surprising just how much of a difference the colour makes.

Virtually any good-quality, composite door that has been fitted recently enough to be in good condition is likely to make a good impression. However, different kinds and particularly different colours can make very different kinds of impression. Some of the most common and popular examples include:

Minimalist

The default colour choice for composite doors is generally white. This is good for those who want to create a minimalist approach, but at the same time it makes your front door look an awful lot like everyone else's. Cream is also a good choice for those who want to take a minimalist approach, and is just different enough to differentiate your door from the many plain white doors out there without spoiling the minimalist effect.

Classic Homes

Certain colours lend your home a classic and traditional vibe when people approach your door. This is best achieved with natural wood colours such as light oak or dark wood. This will provide your modern, durable and energy-efficient composite door with the appearance of a traditional treated plain wood door and create an undeniably classic look for your home. Alternatively, colours that have been traditionally popular such as dark red and green will also provide your home with that classic look.

Stylish yet Subtle

If your home décor choices tend to be stylish, attractive, yet not overstated or in-your-face, then it is entirely possible to incorporate this style into the very first impression visitors get from your home through the front door. This is best achieved with pleasant and attractive yet subtle and fairly pale colours. Prime examples include duck egg blue, chartwell green, or simple cream. If you want something a little bolder but still fairly subtle, you could also choose grey. This will create a stronger impression without being as sharp as pure black or white.

Bold and Strong

If, on the other hand, you prefer to go for something bolder and create a strong impression, it is entirely possible for your choice of front door colour to do this without being over-the-top and gaudy. This can be perceived through choosing black, which is definitely a strong shade but balanced out by the fact it is definitely far from bright. Alternatively, if you want a slightly more colourful approach, then you are best choosing a deep, strong shade but - like black - not an especially bright one. Dark red, green or blue would be ideal for this.

You might think that picking a door is all about the colour. Well you'd be half right. There's nothing better than a smart rosewood, or a distinguished black door. But getting it right depends so much on the material. After the first tip in our series, on a detailed look at materials, here's one on colour. In just 5 minutes, learn the essentials of getting the colour right.

Picking the right colour is so important to the overall look and feel of your house. The right colour for a front door will always be different depending on the age of your house, it's aspect, the exterior. Of course you can never go wrong with black or white. You should also consider the impact a door might have on the interior of your house. Different colours on the interior and exterior is one way of ensuring you get the harmonious matches that make the difference.

Pick a colour, any colour! Would be the mantra of the timber door specialists. Except lovely paint spoils lovely wood. So in actual fact, your best options are whatever shades of wood will fit your home. Nothing wrong with that. Wood is lovely. But if you want colour, there's a better way.
