Help with front door color
13 years ago
last modified: 13 years ago
We just closed on our first house. The exterior paint was recently updated so we don't plan on changing it anytime soon (plenty of things inside need to be done first). The door currently matches the light sage trim color. The door is kind of scuffed up and I'd like to repaint it, but I want to liven it up with something fun. Any suggestions?

PRO13 years agoI recently did an article for This Old House on front door colors: http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/photos/0,,20567862,00.html There are lots of ideas and different style doors.
I also created an app called Color911. There you can create your own color palette, choose colors from something that has inspired you, or look at the many color themes to see if there is a look that inspires you, You can choose any number of colors within a palette, I would take a look and see if there is a palette that iinterests you and goes with your house and trim color.
I've attached a palette to give you an idea of how the palettes work... I hope this one inspires you!

Plant tons of lavender near the front door--smells wonderful.
