What colour door will you choose for your entryway? There are many factors to consider when choosing the right door colour. Most windows are located on the front of a house, so the entryway is the first thing people see when they arrive.
These days there are more options to choose from when it comes to your windows and doors. Here are some factors to consider while choosing the right colour for your entry door.
1) Materials:
The first factor you should take into consideration is the material of your front door. The most common materials for exterior doors include aluminum, steel, fiberglass and wood. Your choice of material should suit both your home’s exterior and your door hardware.
2) Style:
The style of your front entryway will play an important part in the right colour selection for your new door. Consider what style you want when choosing a colour – do you want an upscale, classic look with only subtle colours or is your home’s architecture or current colour scheme or something more elaborate.
3) Landscaping:
Except for a few of the most basic colours, you’ll want to consider your home’s landscaping when choosing an exterior door colour. How do the surrounding plants and grasses compliment a particular shade? Also keep in mind that darker colours may require more upkeep than light ones.
4) Neighbour’s Doors:
Your neighbours’ homes may have a significant effect on the exterior of your home. If you live in a community with similar looking homes, you may want to choose a colour that is complementary to or contrasting from your neighbours’ front doors.
5) Seasonal Effects:
In some climates, colours change drastically from season to season making it more difficult for homeowners to choose the right exterior door colour. Contrasting colours can stand out against winter white, while muted hues look better against summer’s lush green backdrop. If you prefer to choose colours that will stand out year-round, try using beach tones or pastels in spring and summer; rich reds, oranges, browns and yellows in fall; and royal purples or dark greens in winter.
