Red and white painted front doors.

Don't underestimate the power of an exterior front door! We all have one, but few consider the impact it makes on your home's aesthetic. Your porch and front door are the first impressions of your home and the front door is your real focal point. 

While having a fresh, new coat of paint on your home's exterior is a great way to give your house a facelift, painting your front door is something smaller that can make a huge difference. 

Are you looking to paint your front door? Not sure where to start with colors? You could stick with what you have but now's your chance to try something different.

1. Yellow Exterior Door

What better way to welcome guests into your home than with a bright, cheery yellow door? A front door painted yellow is vibrant and complements many neutral exterior paint colors. It can make a gray or white exterior really come alive. Yellow can set the tone for the rest of your home, even if you don't decorate with too much color on the interior. Think of it as just a pop of color for your house.

2. Dark Green Front Door Shade

Your front door is the perfect place to have an element of surprise, so try a dramatic, dark color rather than a subtle door. A green front door is classic but has a touch of modern flair as well. It doesn't take away from landscaping or greenery on your porch—in fact, the color brings it out. Forest green is sophisticated and always a great choice for paint colors. It can also set the aesthetic tone for the rest of your home.

3. White Front Door

Whoever said white was a boring shade didn't see the gorgeous front doors. A white front door will especially stand out and make a statement if you have a brick house or a darker paint color on the exterior. It's simple, timeless, and always looks good. Try a few different shades of white before you land on the right one for your front door.

4. Red Exterior Front Door

The drama and beauty of a red door are always in style, especially for 2024. According to early American traditions, a red door has historically meant "welcome." It was symbolic as a welcoming place for travelers to stay, but we also love the eye-catching curb appeal that a cherry red door provides. Remember, a front door is small but impactful, so don't shy away from something bold like red.

5. Turquoise on Exterior Doors

Unexpected and head-turning, turquoise blue is becoming a more mainstream paint color for front doors. Any shade of blue is beautiful, but we love turquoise because it's somewhere between green and blue. It's contemporary yet still looks great juxtaposed with historic architecture.

Choose the Best Color For Your Front Door

No matter which paint color you choose for your front door, you're sure to make a striking statement. When going for a bold color, it's usually best in smaller doses, like on a front door or in a small room for interiors. Just keep in mind your porch, the style of your home, and your existing exterior color. But most importantly, have fun with your painting projects!
