Spring is in the Air!

Update Your Front Door with a New Colour

With spring officially here, it’s the perfect time to think about giving your front door a mini makeover. It’s an easy way to make a great first impression with guests, while giving your home instant curb appeal.

Here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding on what colour to choose:

  • What style of home do you have? For modern homes, a bold colour, like red or orange, could be a consideration. If you have a more traditional exterior, black and navy are always classic choices.

  • What colours are in your surrounding landscaping? Can you repeat any of the colours for your front door colour?

  • Would you like a dark, moody neutral or a fresh, happy hue to greet you every time you come home?

  • What accent colours do you have inside the home? Consider using one for your front door to create colour continuity.

  • In terms of your finish, what sheen would you like? The higher the sheen the more dramatic your colour will be but it will also show more imperfections. Read more about the different sheen options here before making your decision.

Once you’ve tested your colour and are ready to purchase the paint, we recommend Aura Exterior in either a low lustre or satin finish. It’s unprecedented durability and rich, full colour is guaranteed to give you long-lasting results you’ll be happy to come home to!
