Why, tho? No. Just no.

Duplicate post. The other has many responses.

Thanks for the advice. we decided against the additional stone. im now trying to decide what color to restain the porch. its in desperate need of it

Does anyone have a way to show me how different colors would look on my front door? im not very tech savvy so im clueless. i would like to see an earthy green, yellow, red and maybe a light tan or off white

Also any suggestions for front porch stain colors on floor?

No stone. Break things up with better landscaping - shrubs and evergreens as foundation plantings. Don't stain the porch a different color from the house. This is a small space and you already have a lot going on here.

Sherwin Williams has an app you can use to upload photos and experiment with different colors. I suggest you take a photo from further back so you'll have better context with the surroundings. Also consider the direction your entry faces when selecting colors and how much light it receives. For example, it could be that your door is so heavily shaded most of the day that it reads as black instead of green and disappears.

I like the idea of painting the door and then just use matching decor. Pots, pillows, blankets and outdoor rug etc.

Here are my idea boards, blue or yellow/blue concepts:

As far as refinishing the floor, wood stain, and use the rug for color.
