One question I often get asked is, “What front door color will help sell my home?” While there is no right answer, there are some door colors that do better than others in helping you sell your home.
One of my top picks is yellow. Yellow is bright and is associated with happiness and warmth, it invites people inside. Choosing a yellow door signifies that you are an optimist, have a bubbly personality.
Orange is another color I love seeing on homes, it says “Look at Me!” Orange represents enthusiasm, optimism, energy, and creativity. Choosing an orange door looks great on modern and mid-century modern homes.
My third pick is a nice grey with a blue tint. This color says, I’m sophisticated, reserved, and intelligent. The darker the grey the more dramatic it becomes. This color pairs excellently with bright exteriors and on traditional homes.
My final pick is red, I’ve had two homes in the past that have featured red doors. Red front doors give your home a powerful punch. Red expresses a sense of “welcome” and hospitality. It signifies a fun, passionate, and full of life attitude. In Feng Shui principles a red door symbolizes good luck and a positive energy flow.
My favorite color though is black. Black symbolizes order and control. It tells others that you are sophisticated and timeless. It’s the epitome of traditional elegance and looks great on every home from classic to modern.
No matter what color you choose, your front door should make a statement and draw in potential buyers. Make sure you consider the style of the home and the exterior home color when selecting just the right shade.
