Neutral Front Doors

If you aren’t a big fan of bright colors for the front of your home, these neutrals are a great start.

Black Front Door Ideas

Black is a classic, and simple, choice for a front door. I especially like black doors with red brick exteriors.

It goes with just about anything and it makes an impact due to its deep color.

Of course, black plays well with many other colors and textures besides brick.

Purple Front Doors

Would you have ever considered a purple, pink or yellow door? They are out-of-the-box choices and can be a dose of personality for your home. The front entry is a visitor’s first introduction to your family. If you have a house filled with bright and bold personalities, don’t be afraid to choose an unexpected color for your door.

When you add a set of matching planters, you can bring in another color with the plants that you choose. Painting a door isn’t a big project — and neither is filling up a set of pots with soil. This is a very doable weekend project, that can update the exterior of your home.

So, I’m curious. Which color front door is your favorite and why? Comment your answer below.
