Please help with picking screen door color

9 years ago

Our next project is re-painting the front door. We've decided to paint the door brick red and the trim picket fence white.


However, we can't decide on the color for the wooden screen door. Do we:

  1. Paint it white (to match the trim)?
  2. Paint in red (to match the door)?
  3. Stain it with wood stain?

Any suggestion/advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    ooh that's an interesting door setup! I love the idea of a red door, and maybe a white screen door over it? Or dark brown wood stain? It's hard to tell what the rest of your house looks like. If you have any shutters, you could paint it to match those.
