    Why a white door, and the handle looks to be satin nickel.

    why a white door?

  • 7 years ago
    I personally like contrast between the door and hardware, but it will look good either way. We have gloss black entry doors, with antique brass hardware, but saw lots of dark painted doors in our neighborhood with dark metal hardware.

    I love your blue door and think a white porch will look nice. I like the chrome, looks good against the blue.

    Yes, I love the black. You might also think gold. It would be lovely with the blue. That would be my choice especially in the fall with your hostas and if you plant golden flowers it will really look fresh and new. Think the brushed nickel should go now. However going all black will look fine also.

    a wreath with some forsythia in it would look great with the blue.

    basically what I'm wondering is if with an all white porch..would the blue door with black handle stand out like a sore thumb and look out of place.... here is the porch we are getting in a month. anyone????

    should I go with bulky square spindles or more simple?

    I would go with black hardware. I think the blue door is beautiful with the white railing.

    I prefer the black. Keep the black house numbers, mailbox and plant hook. The black makes a nice elegant statement imo...

    Looks like you already painted the mailbox white....

    I'm wondering about railing.. square tops shown in photo or more simple

    square tops. i still think gold everything on door is newer looking than black. there are even gold/brass lights on the picture you posted. Think gold with look better with floor. just my opinion. Brass and Navy are classic and will never age. update, don't follow everyone else.

    The square tops are nice. Tailored and not to fussy.
