COLORFUL FRONT DOOR IDEAS FOR YOUR MOST STRIKING ENTRANCE

Sure, you should never judge a book by its cover, but we'd forgive you for judging a home by its front door. The front door is the first impression you'll send to guests—not to mention your own self—upon entering your space. Creating curb appeal doesn’t have to mean replacing your roof or painting your whole house; it can be as simple as applying a fresh coat of paint to the main entrance of your home. While traditional shades like brown and beige serve a purpose, innovative imaginings of blue, green, red, yellow—even pink, purple, and patterned—can be a shortcut to striking style.

It's where you'll pose for photos, pin wreaths, arrange pumpkins, lug groceries, and shake hands with neighbors. A front door is a transition from the world at large to the nest of your home; in short, it's a space that matters.

YELLOW-ORANGE

A Miami “Med Deco” home designed by Alex Alonso features a sunny front door, drawing attention to its unique architecture while paying homage to The Sunshine State.

SHADES OF BLUE

 

A thatched cottage in this German village features a sky blue front door, with intricate detailing that is highlighted by a meticulous use of white paint.

GRASSY GREEN

 

On a street in old San Juan, Puerto Rico, a grassy green front door is bordered in bright white and surrounded by baby blue building.

MULTI-COLORED

 

A classic cottage in Born auf dem Darß is given a vibrant twist with its green, red, and yellow front door, complete with delicate patterns and plant motifs.

MUTED SPRUCE

In the Moment T18-15 is Behr's first-ever Color of the Year, and it's a cool tone that meets at the intersection of spruce blue, soft gray, and lush green. Here, it's coordinated with a seafoam gray exterior, but it would work equally well with whites, blues, and warm grays.

HIGH-GLOSS CHERRY

Jeweler Federico de Vera converted a railway depot in Amenia, New York into a sharp weekend getaway; the front door is Benjamin Moore Vermillion, a deep and dramatic orange-red that feels both stately and self-assured.

FUCHSIA

Gray shingles and a brick front porch are enlivened with a bright fuchsia door by Fergus Garber Young Architects.

WHITE

In this understated Southampton cottage by Brady Design, an all-white exterior is topped off with white doors and black accents.

PERSIMMON

 

In Barcelona, a creamy orange-red is a fiery accent against rich lilac and purple stucco. Because all three shades have warm tones at their base, nothing clashes.

COACH GREEN

At this 19th century Long Island farmhouse, an entryway sings in 3088 Coach Green by Fine Paints of Europe. It's a traditional tone that's infused with modernity in a high-gloss finish.

PISTACHIO

 

A sweet, confectionary choice next to shades of warm white.

CONCRETE

At this mid-century San Franciscan home, a one-panel concrete gray door offers a mellow focal-point.
