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.

Entry Door Color Suggestion

7 years ago

Hello, can anyone help provide paint color suggestions for entry doors? We would like to freshen up our curb appeal without having to do a major overhaul. Also, the post will eventually be painted a dark brown to match the rest of the trim.
Thanks!!

    IMO all the trim on your home to too dark. It makes the home look too harsh. Just like eyebrowns have to complement the face, trim must complement the house.


    I'm assuming you were trying to match the roof, but your roof isn't just one color once it's installed. Instead of the paint color Caviar below, your trim might have been a bit softer with Shade Grown or something similar.
