Front door drama needed!

10 years ago

I am nearing the completion of my exterior paint job and I need some help with the colors on the front door. I am looking for a bold solution that is two colors. The shutters will be painted black to match the iron work. The house is a 1937 brick bungalow located in the historic Riverside/Avondale area of Jacksonville.

Any help in adding front door drama would be great!

I would use the black that you have on the window frame and paint the section of your door that is currently yellow: and than have the base color of the door be lighter maybe a cream or pale sage.

I think the door is pretty dramatic as it is..maybe you need to look to other ways to add drama. Perhaps two tall slim copper planters on each side the door with topiaries and some added color to the front peaked panel above the door and porch trim

The wonderful curved ceiling under the porch roof could be accentuated with an unexpected color like sky blue or sunny yellow..maybe add a wood deck over the concrete floor of the porch

The ironwork would definitely pop more if it was a light color

Check duplicate post for my suggestion. Also could change out the wrought iron porch posts for white wood beafier pillars & add white porch railings eliminating all wrought iron. You could also add appropriately sized black shutters on each side of the door.

I like the door as is but I would put a tall black planter on either side of it.

Painting the shutters with black is a good idea. If I were
you, I would highlight the roof that covers your doorstep. You’ve got a pretty
nice curve there it would be great to yellow there.
