BRAVE AND BOLD FRONT DOORS

Front doors are a great place to be bold with colour, as it’s one of the strongest features of the home. You are only limited by how brave you want to be – the colour choices are endless! We love how mid-century modern got a punch of colour with this bright yellow doorway in Altona. It really stands out against the white facade and adds huge curb appeal and personality.

Inspired? Here are some tips on choosing a colour:

  • If you have bricks ensure the colour compliments the bricks. Don’t be put off if your home has older style bricks as you can really make a difference to the look of an older brick home with a new modern door in a bold colour.

  • Think about how often you may have to repaint. Darker colours can fade quicker.

  • Create mood boards of your facade colours and selected door colour to see which combination you are drawn to most.

  • Don’t worry if you don’t like the end result – you can try another colour!
