My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

What color would you paint the front door?

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

We need to replace our front door. You can't tell in the picture, but right now it's a dated looking hunter green. The bricks have high variability of color, so color matchers pick up a zillion different variations on red and brown. What color would you pick? Bonus points for picking a shade of Sherwin Williams since that's what the contractors will surely use. Thanks!

    Are you thinking you want a pop of color? I think a dark blue would look really nice. With whatever you choose, I would keep the color on the dark/rich side.

    A few more Sherwin Williams suggestions that I think would look nice on your home:

    Porpoise

    Cordovan

    Peppercorn

    Muddled basil
