Deep down, we all yearn to receive compliments about our homes. Something that may influence what people say about yours is your front door colour, emphasising how crucial it is that you find the best door finish.

Do so and your entryway will give the whole house a huge aesthetic lift, raising its profile in the local area.

Colour brings fresh energy to properties and can uplift moods – brighter colours have a warmth to them, cooler tones induce calm etc.

Choosing the Perfect Door Colour in 3 Steps

Step 1 – Consider Home Architecture and Style

Look closely at your home’s style as this ought to be a factor in selecting a colour. Ideally, the colour needs to merge with the style for a consistent appearance.

Step 2 – Judge Lighting and Location

Where your front door is located will determine how much natural light gets to it. Door colours react differently to natural and artificial light too, so it’s worth getting some colour samples to test them out.

Step 3 – Contemplate Upkeep and Strength

Colour shouldn’t offer short-lived quality. You want it to last and survive against the weather, as well as be easy to maintain.
