You may paint your front door red because it is your favorite color. Perhaps it coordinates with the color of the shutters or matches flowers planted near the door. Sometimes you want a contrast to the surrounding structure. But why red?
The color of your front door can tell a great deal about you. According to e-How Color Theory and Psychology, physiologically and psychologically the color red stimulates the body and energizes the mind.
Having an aesthetic entry way is something I definitely appreciate, and is very important to most people. I wish were able to change my bland dark gray/green door, but sadly renting prevents this for me, I have been usuing wreaths and decor on my door to change this as much as possible.
Entrance doors to your house come in all colours and shapes. They are one of the first things that visitors or even prospective buyers get up close and personal with. They can speak volumes about what to expect inside the house.
