An exterior paint job is the perfect project for the spring. Keeping up with exterior paint around every 10 years protects your home from the elements and it’s fun to be able to have a home that looks brand new without moving. To go with a new exterior color a complementary front door color is also an important decision to make. You may not be looking to change the color of your siding but you want to switch it up in a small way, changing the color of your front door is a great way to change the look of the exterior but on a smaller scale.
Light and Bright
Having a lighter shade or muted exterior color can be paired well with a bright front door color. Having muted green siding and pairing it with a bright yellow front door can complement each other well. Light blue siding with a bright blue or teal front door is another way to have a light or muted siding and a bright front door.
Monochrome Moment
A front door can often be painted to be the focal point for a home’s exterior by using a front door color with strong contrast to the siding. Another color idea would be to go for a monochrome look by painting your door the same color as your siding or picking the same color but one shade lighter or darker can bring a simple but chic look to your home’s exterior.
Pop of Color
You may be interested in painting your home’s exterior in a class white are going bold and painting your home black. Your house may already be black or white. But adding a pop of color with the front door is a great way to change the look of your home. Whether you prefer classic colors like red or green or want to switch it up with a teal, these homes have similar concepts but look completely different with the front door color choice.
Wood and Neutral

A dark stained door is an option that would go with many of the 2024 home trends. Keeping things natural is trending in many parts of the home for 2024, why not bring that style inside and out by having a natural stained wood front door
Primary Pairing

The contrast between these colors creates a classic look while utilizing a simple idea like pairing primary colors together.
