With the modern design aesthetic of this home there is no need to stay traditional with the choice of color for the door. Purple is the color of the moment and this door knows it.
How canopies are structured is often hidden, such as behind thick edges, but some architects opt to express how an overhead plane defies gravity. The glass canopy over the entrance to this house is small and slender in section, so the architect hung it from the wall.
Suspended overhangs add an architectural note to an otherwise simple facade. Frosted glass and metal wires frame the blue front door for an interestingly fresh entry.
1. Bluish-Purple Door With a Light Gray ExteriorIf the exterior of your home has a light neutral hue, the best way to call attention to your door is to go with a contrasting deep, dark color.This bluish purple reads as a neutral, making this palette feel calm, cool and restrained — perfect if you like purple but want to go with a relatively neutral exterior palette.Note: If your door gets hit with a lot of afternoon sun, a dark color will absorb heat and may fade more quickly than a lighter hue.
Some kind of glass awning would be great as it would let light pass through since we are already very shady along the side of the house. But this would be quite heavy since it would need to cover the width of a car- we could have several hanging along the side to at least make the length managalbe.
