8 Cheery Front Door Colours to Amp Up Your Curb Appeal!
While some exterior updates can be time-consuming and expensive, switching up your front door color is a simple, high-impact project. So why not have some fun with it? Traditional shades, such as white, gray, or navy blue, can certainly be beautiful on an exterior, but a vibrant, colorful front door makes your entry even more eye-catching. Bright front door colors (including yellow, lime green, coral, and turquoise) add a pop of personality that can make your home’s exterior stand out from the rest of the block. Try one of these vivid shades on your front door to instantly amp up curb appeal.
Teal Front Door
A bright shade of teal on the front door stands out against the rich brick tones and beckons visitors inside. Containers planted with bright evergreens flank the door for an extra dose of glamour.
Coral Front Door
A happy hit of color draws the eye and makes the front door a focal point on this exterior. The energetic coral hue and white trim emphasizes the door and windows to lighten up dark gray siding.
Blue and Yellow Exterior
Using the rules of the color wheel is a simple way to select a bright front door color. A monochromatic color scheme features tone-on-tone combinations, a contrasting color scheme creates an adventurous palette of hues evenly spaced on the wheel, and complementary colors (those directly across from each other) bring energy and a pleasing aesthetic to your home’s exterior. Here, a yellow-orange door and trim pair with bright blue siding for a bold facade.
Neon Green Front Door
When it comes to making a color statement, few hues top neon, especially this electric green. On this modern home, an unexpected front door color energizes and accents the architecture. If you’d like to use a similar color scheme on your home, test out a few paint swatches next to the exterior color to make sure you like the combination. To blend the color into your existing scheme, consider pulling the color onto nearby trim (here, it’s done with the house numbers).
Blue Front Door
A simple, mostly monochromatic color scheme often serves a home’s exterior best, particularly with solid, straightforward house styles such as this one. One way to add a punch of visual interest is with a door in an unexpected shade. This blue, which leans more navy than electric, energizes the exterior without being distracting.
Red Doors
Traditional-style homes often necessitate color schemes that more conventional yet still interesting. In those cases, a lively hue on a front door offers a way for homeowners to add a distinctive visual touch and boost way-finding. On this home, a vibrant red door sets off the understated combination of white trim and grays on the siding and roof. The front door color is cleverly picked up in a pillow accent on the chair and enhanced with the strategic placement of containers nearby.
Tempting Turquoise
Neutral shades are a great selection for a home’s overall color because they play well with multi-colored landscaping and across a variety of home styles. But a neutral front door on a neutral home can quickly get lost. Here, the homeowners accented their front door with a brilliant hue of turquoise that adds energy to the otherwise innocuous color scheme.
Electric Green Door
Following the rule of threes is a no-fail way to add color to your front door. Generally, most home exteriors mix three hues: a dominant and two subordinates, one of which tends to have a bigger role in the color scheme. Here, a neutral combo gets a boost thanks to this green door. To give the color more presence and pop, the inner doors behind the exterior doors were also painted the same shade.
