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.
It is not easy to pick the right colour, one which fits in with the neighbourhood and the style of the facade of your house. How do you choose the right colour? Well we took a photo of the door then use Photoshop to see how different colours actually blended with the rest of the house. Simple, cheap and effective. These are some of the colours and styles we tried, and what they say about your house. The ideas apply whatever the type of door – prehung exterior doors, patio doors, fiberglass entry doors or french doors
Black Door
A black door signifies strength, authority and power. Here lives someone of status.
Blue Door
Blue is a very popular choice, and projects an image and peace and serenity within.
Red Front Door
A red front door projects vibrancy, someone who is extrovert and likes people.
Yellow Door
Well, a yellow door can sometimes mean beware, this is a noisy neighbour!
It is also not a popular choice, and might put off buyers.

Brown Door
Brown makes a very attractive natural look, and can mean stability and reliability.
Orange Door
Orange could be taken as a shade of brown. It also indicates stability, particularly in relationships.
