The inside of your home should normally come first when considering home design ideas. There are several small projects you can do that will have a major impact on curb appeal, even while larger work like landscaping and exterior home painting can consume a significant portion of your budget. With a can of paint, you receive the most value for your money, just like inside your house. Your front door’s striking hue will make a world of difference. Here are some of Bergen Rockland Painters top paint colors for front doors.
Red
Although some people are hesitant to paint their front door such a strong red, it is actually one of the friendliest exterior paint colors. Pick a shade of red that works well with the other colors on the outside of your house. If you want to create a bold statement, try a high gloss fire engine red; if you want something cozier, tone it down with more of a paprika hue.
Orange
Orange contrasts beautifully with dark outside house colors like gray or blue or with dark exterior house colors like charcoal. Take inspiration from a sunrise on the Central Coast or a sunset at Grover Beach. Those orange hues somehow have a soothing and hospitable quality that is perfect for creating a warm and friendly ambiance.
Yellow
Because there are so many alternatives, yellow paint is an excellent choice for a front door. Choose a mustard yellow for a more subdued appearance. Pick a lemony high gloss yellow for a welcoming atmosphere that is upbeat and positive. Yellow complements practically any exterior house color. Similar to orange, it contrasts so vividly with a dark gray house but also looks fantastic on a seaside house with white shingles.
Light Lime
Lime green has to be included on our list of favorite daring hues, especially for Central Coast-area homes. Lime green surprisingly complements exterior house colors that could struggle with other aggressive colors. Plums, browns, and even reds go very well with lime green.
