Paint Design Dilemma Entry

I need help figuring out front door color

5 years ago

Hi everyone. My builder didn’t do my front door the way I originally wanted. I wanted the entire piece solid wood and stained. He gave me a stainable fiberglass door lol. Totally not the same! Anyways, now I’m thinking of doing the entire thing black like in the second pic. What do y’all think? Should I just do the door black or the sides and top black too? Thanks!

Yes, the whole door, sidelites, casings in black. It will look beautiful, and will beef up the entry.

Whole door black. It wont look right, if you have it two different colors.

agree - paint entire door, sidelights window panes - whole thing - black. Your door will be much more of a statement piece for your entry if it has some”presence”!

Not only the entire door black--the trim around all the other windows that blend into the siding.
