Front Door Color Inspiration

Friday, April 12, 2013

I had had to share house updates every Friday, but now that our home is moving full speed ahead during the re-building process, I'll be doing updates throughout the week. Yesterday I shared our new craftsman style front door we picked out for our house along with the paint color we decided to paint our homes exterior with on Monday. This weekend we need to pick out a front door color, our old front door was a fun shade of red called Posh Red (read more about the color here) but this time we around we decided to change things up and go in a new direction. I've been dreaming of a shade of aqua or a shade of green chartreuse to be exact. I think either shade depending on the shade, would look so pretty next to our now deeper grey house. I plan on sharing updated pictures of our house on Monday. 

As a reminder our house is a medium deep grey with white trim, so part of me thinks our front door should be a suitable shade of aqua. The inspiration pictures be having me thinking it good work and still give us a pop of color while walking up to our front door without hitting you over the head with color.

This pretty deep aqua shade is so pretty! I love how the color pops against the white trim & deep green house exterior.

I love this warm grey shade of aqua, looks so pretty on Caitlin Creer Interiors. She painted her front door Benjamin Moore Cloudy Sky. 


Green Chartreuse Shade

The chartreuse shade front dolor maybe not be for everyone, but for some reason I'm really drawn to the color and think it would look so pretty as our front door color. My sister thinks its an awful color for a front door! But I know finding the right shade of chartreuse will be hard, I don't want to venture into the too bright and in your face category. I want to stay in the that's pretty and cheerful instead. The doors below have caught my eye.

Same door as above, the color below maybe closer to the actual color. I like the shade above a little better. 


This dark grey color really helps me picture how a shade of chartreuse green would look on our home, it could work! The front of this house is more formal than ours and as more white around he doorway will, but still helps me imagine it.

I've noticed the front door colors I'm most drawn to are the same colors we are using inside our home: grays, aqua to deep turquoise and chartreuse. Below our peacock blues lamps I found for a steal at a local consignment shop & fabric we are using as drapes & pillows. 


What ever color we end up choosing for our front door it will have to 'play nice' with our original brick on our porch. This weekend Hasani & I have some serious homework we have to get done.

What do you think are you on Team Aqua? or Team Chartreuse?

  2. I like them both...however, I was drawn to the first green chartreuse door. So I guess I am Team Chartreuse!

  3. I'm so glad you're jumping on the fun front door bandwagon, too! I can't wait until the paint goes up at the flip. I don't think you can go wrong with either option!

  5. Although my front door is a shade of blue, I must admit chartreuse is really peaking my interest. I can't wait to see what you decide.

  6. I just ran into your blog while taking a break from sanding my front door. Oh the heat! I saw your red door post first, then I clicked home and see this post about the aqua door!! So funny because that is exactly what I'm doing today!! I'm taking it as a sign that I picked the right color. New follower here!

  9. The aqua turquoise shade would actually complement quite nicely with your home exterior, as it will bring a pleasant atmosphere to the house, or should I say it’ll make the house even more inviting. Your other choices here are lovely colors. These are light colors, so whatever you choose would actually make a huge transformation on your home façade's ambiance.
