What does your front door say about you?
Red alert
If subtlety is your aim, steer away from this end of the colour spectrum.
A red front door makes a bold statement that demands attention. Bright, vibrant, and inviting — your red front door will have all the neighbours talking.
If the brighter shades are a little outside your personal palette, look to deeper hues in rust, burgundy, or maroon for a more reserved effect.
Blue hue
Perfect for the seaside, or a cityscape that reminds you of summer days, a glance at this door is sure to send your blues away.
Look to vibrant electric blues to make a stunning contrast against white walls, or introduce grey-blues for a warm welcoming entrance.
