Nothing freshens a home more readily than a freshly painted front door. But before you grab a can of your current favorite color, take into account where you live. Strive to make your door fit with its surroundings. Specifically, consider:
- Shutter color: To keep them from clashing, choose the same color family just go a shade or two lighter or darker.
- Garage door color: Usually, the garage door takes up a sizable amount of surface area. So make sure the front door complements it. (Some people choose to introduce the door color as an accent in the garage door.)
- Color and materials of your home: The color of the brick, stucco, vinyl or wood must blend in with or contrast sharply with your door. Classic example? White house, black shutters and red door. Pop!
Remember, the front door sets the stage for your entire home. Professional home painters can not only help you choose a color, they can get the job done quickly and cleanly.
