The Doors of Orlando: What is the Right Color for Your Home?

Posted on September 19, 2022

If eyes are the window to your soul, front doors should set the tone for the rest of your home. With fall just under way and everyone looking for a pick me up, a front door color update can be just the project to inspire you. Here are a few front door makeover ideas to make your house the envy of the block.

Painting Tip: When painting your front door, be sure to purchase the appropriate blend of paint to get the longest  life from your work. No matter what color you choose, you will want to be sure you get a semi gloss finish. This will allow a smoother finished surface and lower sheen than its counterparts. It will have some shine to protect the finish without overwhelming eyes on bright days.

Bold reds are a great paint color when used in moderation. The exterior of your home can have an added flair for the dramatic when you have this color apple to your front door. Red paint usually contrasts well with neutral home exteriors.

Secret Garden by Sherwin-Williams

Create the visual delight of a safari by adding a few things to your front door. Paint the door a forest green. Add in some golden hardware to give it a luxurious look. With some ferns and plants flanking the door and the addition of an animal or tribal print mat, you’re sure to have a perfectly emerald look.

Peacock Plume by Sherwin-Williams

Teal is a gorgeous color choice regardless of what you have painted. Peacock Plume by Sherwin-Williams is bold without being too in your face about it. If you are wanting to give the front of your home a cool and vibrant vibe, this just might be the paint color for you.

Amherst Gray by Benjamin Moore

Gray is also an excellent front door color. While it may still be in the neutral color family, it can pop quite nicely against many exterior paint colors. Amherst Gray is a medium shade that would pair well with modern designed residences.

Caviar by Sherwin Williams

A black door used to be a no-go from stylists but it’s more commonly touted for its secure and regal feelings. Since the eye reads black as a neutral, it’s a great way to add an additional color to the front of your home without causing any interactions with your current color palette. Use the color with shiny new hardware and pretty flowers to welcome you home on a daily basis.
