What color should I paint my front door.

6 years ago

My front door is stained now and I was wondering if I should restrain it or paint it and if so what color would look good with bricks and shutters (yes they are working shutters). I plan a new door in the future but door needs work now

    Your house is in great shape and very nice. If you want color, I would suggest you paint the front door the same sage green that your shutters are. Or repaint both the door and shutters in a brighter shade of green. The green color really compliments your exterior. Here’s a pic for inspiration.
