Paint Porches & Decks Exterior

What color front door?

4 months ago

We just purchased a southern coastal home and i am getting so excited to make it ours! The exterior is almost a yellow-white. In my head i had envisioned a light blue door like bm Blue Porcelian but I am not sure what color would go with exterior. Any suggestions?

If thats your house in the picture, the color the door is now, is perfect for it. I would leave it alone. Congratulations on your new home. It is good to be excited, but, its not good to go changing things right away, unless something is broken and needs changing. Live in the house a while, and let the house tell you what needs to be done.

I might do a light coral that matches your azaleas. There's a white house near me with a coral door and they always plant coral impatiens in their tiny front garden. It just looks so good.

The green you have is nice. If you do pick blue, get some cushions for your rocking chairs to match.
