Tips for Choosing the Right Colour

Choosing the perfect front door colour can feel like a big decision, but keeping a few key things in mind can make the process easier:

• Consider Your Home’s Exterior: Think about the colour of your siding, brick, and roof. You’ll want a door colour that complements these elements. For example, a dark grey or navy blue works beautifully with light-coloured exteriors, while a bold red or green door can stand out on a neutral exterior.
• Think About the Mood You Want to Create: Colours have psychological effects reds and oranges are energising and welcoming, while blues and greens are calming and peaceful. What kind of tone do you want to set for your home?
• Personal Style: Your front door reflects your personality and your opportunity to stand out on your street. Don’t be afraid to choose a colour that reflects you and your personality, whether that’s a bold statement or something more subtle.

Maintaining Your Front Door’s Colour

Once you’ve chosen your perfect colour and had your door painted, it’s important to keep it looking its best. Here are a few simple maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Keep your door clean to maintain its vibrant colour. A gentle wash with soapy water can help remove dirt and grime.
• Protect from the Elements: If your door faces the sun or gets hit with rain often, consider applying a protective finish or varnish. This will help maintain the colour and protect it from fading over time.
• Touch-ups: If your door gets scratched or chipped, don’t fret! Touching up small areas with matching paint will help keep your door looking as fresh as the day it was painted.
