Paint Your Front Door a Bold Color
An easy and economical way to amp up your home’s curb appeal is to paint your front door a bold color. Some people don’t want to take the risk, but if you don’t like it, you can always paint it again. Check out some of these fun colors that grace the entryway to homes across the globe.
Red doors are a classic color and in early America, a red door meant that the homeowner welcomed travelers. Adding to the curb appeal are a cute red chair and a fluffy kitty.
Aqua is a great color choice for a red brick home. It softens the texture and color of the house, and the vines are a great touch, too.
Mid-century modern gets a punch of color with a bright yellow doorway. It really stands out against the white facade and adds to the tropical vibe of the landscaping.
An arched entryway gets a coat of bold orange paint trimmed in black. The orange pulls out the warmth of the brick exterior.
How fun is this bright blue color on a European door? The yellow violas are such a fun compliment and add some spring cheer.
You don’t see too many green doors around here where I live but I like this color. I think it’s a great choice for spring and summer, and of course it looks great at Christmas, too.
Even if you prefer a more subdued look, a pleasing tan color is a good option for a monochromatic scheme with a stone house.
Here’s a cheery cottage-looking stone house with a turquoise door, shutters, and flower box. What a great way to add some curb appeal to a house and make it pop on the neighborhood block.
Now, if you happen to have a beautiful wooden front door, you might not want to paint it at all – and I can’t say as I blame you. Wood is a gorgeous way for your home to make a great first impression!
And now I have to ask – which of these doors is your favorite?

I love the last one, the wood is always my favorite.
I never get tired of looking at beautiful colored front doors and the colors surrounding them that make it all work so well together.
I love to see how people paint their doors and see how well it goes with the rest of the front yard.
Jennifer, these doors are all beautiful, but I have to say, the blue European door is my favorite. The style of the door is so unusual and the way they highlighted it with a second color to bring out the details is gorgeous. Love the vines and little potted flowers too. I can just see this door on a charming cottage. Thanks for sharing all these fun doors with us. My front doors and garage door are an intense, deep teal and I love them. I changed them this year from a lighter turquoise, on a whim. It’s always easy to repaint doors to give your house a fresh new look.
Our HOA has about 10 colors we can choose from for our front doors. Thankfully they are a great variety of choices. Ours is a deep aqua. I know hubby would like something more dignified and subtle but it was on the door when we bought this home. It’s a happy but soothing color, a lot like the one shown above. I decorate our front porch seasonally so we might paint the door a color that works for all seasons at some point. But if it’s working don’t try to fix it, right?!!!
Hi Jennifer,
the stained door with it’s lovely white molding and also the body of the house color, all combined were by far my favorite!
I love the blue the most. I’d love to have the nerve to paint mine that color. It reminds me of all the blue doors we saw in Maine.
What color is the aqua door and what brand? Thanks!
