Don't put an oval window in the front door replacement. The oval window is a victorian door style. Looking at this closely cropped photo of your front door area, I don't see a Victorian house. The door style you have now is appropriately Colonial as far as I can tell from the small photo.

Are you changing the color of the door because you want something new?

It would be helpful to see the entire house front so we can see what you see.

You can post the additional pics right here in the comment section.

thank you so much for responding, sorry for the small picture, hope this helps🙂

yes, wanting to change the color, Also replacing the shutters..

Why are you getting a new front door? You can paint the door you have a nice colonial blue. Not a fan of the shutters, but what a nice big house!!

Thank you for the compliment! The door has a lot of dents /damage from a hail storm, thank you for the suggestion on color, do you think matching the door and shutter color is a good idea?

Not a fan of the shutters.

I think the shutters and the front door shouldn't match.

If you paint the shutters a contrasting color - like black or even a gray or charcoal they will look better IMO. The hardware on each shutter adds to the illusion that they are functional too :)

Black or navy blue.

You have a fabulous home! Your entry is great and really works with the style of home you have. I agree with the paint suggestions of a blue or blue-grey. One additional item you could do is to swap out your sidelights and add glass to your existing door. Here's some mock-ups of what that would look like (we took a bit of liberty in changing your door hardware too!). Good luck on your entry project!

wow! thank you so much for those pictures!! I really like that color blue, what brand/color of paint is that?

Hi Ms.Kate! Well, we just swung for the fences and picked a blue/grey in Photoshop. We didn't start with a paint swatch. If you take the photo to your fav paint shop, I bet they can get close to what we mocked up for you! Glad you liked it!!
