Nothing welcomes you and your visitors better than a lively and beautifully colored front door. It creates that warm feeling that embraces you upon entering your home. Some might have trouble selecting a good color to match their home. As your door experts in Illinois, we at Next Door & Window suggest that you should be brave enough to go with your gut feel, but make it a habit to ask a professional to confirm what you think. This goes for all your home improvement projects.

This year, why not try dressing up your entry door with some bold hues? Here are a few good color suggestions:

Bright Red

As if the color red is not flamboyant enough, bright red can be a more exciting color to choose for your entry door. It perfectly accentuates almost any house style, from traditional to contemporary. The ProVia entry doors that we have here at Next Door & Window also come in Vallis Red. This bright shade is widely available in their Signet Fir, Signet Mahogany, Signet Oak, and Legacy collections. It offers fantastic contrast, especially to homes with neutral colors, from white to gray.

Mandarin

This high-energy color is not an easy shade to work with initially. But once it’s blended with more neutral and soothing hues, it can significantly create a lasting first impression. This color is best paired with traditional architecture as it can highlight the house’s best features without the color itself disappearing in the background.

Electric Lime

You’ve probably seen this color more popularly used in home interiors and accessories, but have you ever thought of using it on your entry doors in Illinois? Now’s your chance. The freshness of lime green can pick up other green hues from your landscape, which livens up your home and gives it a more relaxing feel.

Lemon Twist

Using lemon yellow on your front door is like waving hello to visitors or passersby. This color is usually associated with happiness, high energy, and warmth—a great color choice if you want to add some light and charm to your exterior. It can perk up even the dreariest of mornings.

Mandarin, Electric Lime, and Lemon Twist are all available in the Sherwin-Williams color palette of our Therma-Tru entry doors.

You can get in touch with us here at Next Door & Window to learn more about your options.
