Door Color Painting Advice

You know that when your neighbors look at your house, they are looking straight at your front door. The front door is always the main focal point our eyes search for. It is the easiest change you can make, the fastest, and the most inexpensive way to give the exterior of your home a facelift. As a matter of fact, who says the front door has to stay the same year-round? You know, if you have a good brush, and smooth paint, you can take a couple of hours in a day and coordinate your front door to the flowers in your garden or the pumpkin lanterns on your doorstep. We are coming out with 15 really cool and groovy colors for front doors later on this year. I wanted to give you a heads up to start thinking about what’s behind door# 1, door#2 or door#11. I have seen a lot of red doors these days, and yes red makes the door pop with color. Red doors, with white or black surrounding trim, look really phenomenal with a wide range of light and dark cool colors such grays, whites, greens, blues, or really happy yellows. To pick the right red, imagine the door as the tie on a shirt. Think how special a red tie is and how it can make or break an outfit. That drives the point home right away. Your shirt—the body color of your home—is what matters when you’re picking out a door color. Nix the possibility of a red door if your home has a “pink” or purple cast under a beige. Instead a rich plum, charcoal or chocolate door can be the fashionable talk of the cul-de-sac. Wait till you see the greens I have for doors, and the blues as well. You won’t have any problem coordinating the perfect outfit for your home once we release our brand spanking new product called Devine outDOORcolor™. Think about how you’ll coordinate your shutters and trim as well. You are in for a treat!
