The Painted Door

When you walk up to a house the first thing most people notice is the front door or entry. Making a huge impact on curb appeal, people just adore pretty entrances, especially if they feature a killer painted front door. In fact, if you are on Pinterest or Houzz.com, I am sure you know that some of their most popular posts are of elegant, eclectic or extraordinary front doors from all over the world. The day of traditional white, red and black are gone. Nowadays, people are invoking their personal sense of style and going outside of these color palettes for more inviting or intriguing hues. So if the old red, which was once considered too flashy by some HOA’s, is out, then what new colors are in? Well, here’s what’s hot in 2014!

Robin’s Egg Blue – This color invokes a welcoming, sweet, cool, and clean feel right away.

Bright Orange – Wonderful citrus colors are playful, bright and stylish alongside neutral siding.

Red-Brown – Subtle flecks of red breathe new life into dull brown and offer a connection of color to brick and stone siding.

Honey Yellow – This soft shade goes well with other neutral palettes and feels fresh and airy.

Seafoam Green – This soft shade will steal the show and perfectly offset homes that are painted vivid colors.

Deep Eggplant – It’s not purple, but an elegant blend of red, blue and brown, and goes perfectly with both dark, light and neutral siding.

Caribbean Teal – This bright shade goes wonderfully up against a stark white house, but also looks great against contrasting brick and grey siding.

Steel Grey – It’s the new black and the perfect shade for an industrial, traditional or contemporary feel.
