First impressions are everything. The style, design, and colour of the front door of your property says a lot about your personality and taste—whilst providing visitors with that crucial first impression of your home.
In a row of houses, a unique or interesting or colourful door can give your house added kerb appeal—especially important if you are looking to sell your house.
Your door is usually the first thing that people notice when they look at your home. Let’s discover what your door says about you.
A No-Nonsense Black Front Door
The world’s most iconic front door is on 10 Downing Street. It has a classic black door. We aren’t saying a black front door guarantees you’ll become the next PM! However, a black front door exudes class and authority.
Teal Appea
Teal is a fashionable color. Its popularity grows with homeowners. This shade is a number one choice for a good reason. Teal links to confidence and trust.
Teal looks especially attractive on a Georgian-style home. It appears particularly appealing when teamed with a white frame. You should also consider warm brass door furniture.
A Sunny Yellow Door for a Sunny Personality
A yellow front door is a happy front door. Naturally, a happy front door suggests a happy home. Owners of a yellow door home are welcoming hosts. They are always ready for a party!
You can choose from many shades of yellow. The only question is, how bright dare you go?
Top Tip: A vibrant yellow front door is perfectly complemented by a grey frame—check out our interactive door designer and see for yourself.
Create a warm welcome with a red front door
A red front door is thought to be the entrance to a welcoming home. The tradition is derived from an early American tradition, where hospitable residents painted their doors red to symbolise that weary travellers could rest at the property for the night.
Red has always been a popular and welcoming choice for a front door, the deeper the red, the more and inviting your home looks.
Our door designer has various shades of red to tempt you, including a hot Salsa Red and a rich, warm Claret all designed to welcome guests to your house. We cover a vast range of colour options—or you can opt to choose a RAL colour code for a completely personalised front door.
What’s behind the green door?
Green doors are on the increase for British homes. From a pale sage shade to a striking fern green, the colour symbolises wealth and prosperity.
But if that seems a little ‘showy’ for your tastes, green is also a peaceful and calm colour and works well for houses in country lanes or nestled between trees.
Our Purchaser, Stacey, has a green door, which suits her personality perfectly as she is always calm and very welcoming when speaking with our customers.
