Front door colour ideas

Red is a strong and bold colour suited to those more adventurous in their home style. Considered a reasonably traditional colour choice, it's well-suited to both old-style homes but can also be an attractive addition to a newer build. In any case, it's guaranteed to help your home stand out - you could even use this as a direction for visitors coming to your home. We'd recommend using our Poppy exterior paint shade for a fantastic finish on your new door, or alternatively you can choose a red composite door for a full refresh.

With many shades of blue to choose from, this could be another option for the bold and brave. Brighter eye-catching blues, such as our Oxford Blue gloss paint, may be ideal for standing out on your street, or you may want to go for a calming light blue for a relaxed aesthetic, such as with our duck egg blue composite doors. For some, lighter blue shades can evoke memories and nostalgia of holidays and days out by the sea due to the associations with seaside front doors often using similar shades. To replicate this feeling outside your home, we would recommend Dulux's Mineral Mist gloss paint.

Muted green shades, such as Pastel Olive and Subtle Sage, are on-trend for interior design but often overlooked when it comes to exterior projects as they do not make much of a statement. Our Chartwell Green composite doors are a great way to bring this trend outdoors, with many options to suit your style. For a darker front door, we'd suggest checking out our Green composite doors or Buckingham Green gloss paint - with all green shades also complimenting homes with white window frames.

Brown front doors are ideal for a natural look to your home and are considered a timeless, classic option, especially for those with brick exteriors. External timber doors are the perfect choice for a truly natural brown. They also have the added benefit of their wood material being optimal for a refresh in any exterior paint or woodcare option further into ownership - meaning you can update your front door as you wish in many other colours and shades.

Black is a popular colour choice for a front door because it works well with lots of different styles of home, particularly with modern build homes. Black front doors can provide a timeless elegance to the exterior of your home, particularly when paired with accents and accessories suited to your personal style. With black composite doors in our range, you're spoilt for choice in both style and composition. If you'd rather refresh your current door, our black exterior satinwood paint gives a smooth and chic finish to the project.

It can be a brave choice, but when done right, a yellow front door will stand out in all the right ways. However, it is important to pick the right shade as some darker yellows often look similar to brown hues and natural wood. To achieve a delightfully sunny shade for the front of your home, we'd suggest using Cuprinol's dazzling yellow shade. We'd also recommend having some cleaning wipes on hand to keep your yellow door bright and sparkling.

White front doors may be one of the most chosen colours, but this does not mean you can't choose it to optimise your kerb appeal and stand out. With a plethora of choices by style and composition, you're most likely to find the perfect door for your project if you choose white. Our range of white composite doors and white uPVC doors are a great way to get started. Or if you fancy updating your current front door, we recommend using our white exterior satinwood paint for a smooth finish.
