Not only is repainting your front door a new color a simple and inexpensive exterior project, but it can be done in just a few hours.
Choosing the best color for your front door, doesn’t mean just slapping on your favorite color. You’ll want to consider other colors on the house and the style of your home as well.
Grab a color wheel, when considering colors for your front door. You can base your color scheme with a monochromatic (several shades of a single color), analogous (colors found side by side on the color wheel), contrast (three colors spaced evenly apart on the color wheel), and complementary (two hues opposite each other on the color wheel).
By using these color principles as a guide you will be able to select a front door color that compliments your home’s other exterior elements.
