One of the most successful ways to create an interesting accent on the exteriors of the house, is by adding color, and what better than to apply it on the front doors. It is one of the simplest ways we have to give vitality to our facades. We will show you how to choose the color of outdoor doors whether metal or wood.
The photos that we will see below, are a clear example of how to give our houses a personalized, fun and stylish look, without losing elegance, simply knowing what color to paint.
Main doors in orange or red
They are two colors that transmit warmth and energy, without a doubt, and welcomes us and a great welcome when we arrive at our homes.
The front door of the house is like the letter of presentation of your home, therefore it is not a minor detail to choose the right color. For a long time, when thinking about painting the street door, only white, English green or natural wood color was considered. Today the trend is vibrant, more cheerful and original colors for exterior doors.
Also keep in mind that it is preferable to use a more played color for the openings than for the walls, because when you get bored it will always be easier to repaint the door instead of the entire façade.
Orange or red color looks great combined with white, gray or cream walls.
Doors in light blue or blue
Within the exterior decoration of today, the doors take on special relevance, the doors no longer go in their natural color, which looked attractive at times. What they go are the doors in the colors, bright, striking. The different shades of blue or a pastel light blue, are also another option to consider. They are colors that transmit freshness and peace.
Green main doors
Teal or lime green or apple, are also fashionable for several years.
The teal is very elegant, while the lime brings a touch of vitality and joy very important.
Yellow main doors
The yellow color is very energetic, calls to the activity, makes us feel enthusiastic and is the ideal color to combine or contrast with other beautiful colors of the decoration. The important thing is to highlight that you can opt for saturated yellow or pastel. It brings a lot of energy, as it is associated with the sun and summer.
Purple doors
You can take advantage of the versatility that the color violet or purple has to offer, to enhance the exterior of the home by painting the doors of that color. It is a striking color without being strident. In addition to the multiple benefits of this color in decoration, it represents wealth, honor, creativity, the spiritual. On the other hand, all those who enjoy the Zen philosophy, can keep in mind that according to it, this is the only color that can be placed in any direction.
These colors awaken a more fantasy world feeling.
The wide variety of tones that run the range from pale lilac to dark purple, allows us all to find within this color a tone that we like and serve as the best ally in decoration.
We can also benefit from the little popularity it has in outdoor decoration, to innovate and mark style in the neighborhood, since there are probably not too many who go for this color that is just beginning to set a trend.
Combinations
When associated with yellow, which is the complementary color, it creates a very forceful statement, it is dignified and majestic. When used in a triadic color combination with green and orange, it provides a surprising yet balanced effect. Violet and red, on the other hand, is an example of an analogous color scheme. This type of system is pleasing to the eye because it uses the colors that are next to each other on the color wheel and are therefore closely related.
