Your Front Door
– Noticeably a very important feature; it’s the visual welcoming of your home. Often, the front door is overlooked until to the end of the painting job when your painting contractor asks “what color is the front door going to be?” So often, the reply back is “I don’t’ know, I didn’t think about that!”
The reason I decided to write this blog is for our customers and potential customers to choose exterior colors they will love for years to come, especially the all-important front door color.
Recently, I took a bike ride down our street to just to see what front door colors are painted on the homes in our neighborhood. Here’s what I discovered, from the simplest to the most dramatic entrances. They all make a curb appeal statement. there are so many different colors and they are not boring from dark and light blues, reds, yellows, light and dark stained doors---of course, always the impeccable white. Many may think “white” is not a true color, but it is. White can stand out when the body of the house is any color than white. it will stand out remarkably with white trim.
Exterior house painting gets as much attention today as picking the color for the interior rooms of your home. If your planning an exterior house painting project and are considering a color change we can help when it comes to the house body, trim, shutters, and of course the front door color. For our customers at Sam’s Painting, we can arrange an in-home color consulting visit from a Sherwin Williams professional and provide you with color combination brochures to pour over and websites to visit as I have noted below. Sometimes choosing that front door color is a great place to start when deciding on house painting colors and may not be where to end.
