This Week's Ideabook On Houzz: Painted Front Doors With Personality To Spare

Lately there seems to be a buzz on the street about brightly painted front doors. There are few limitations about what color can be used (unless you have an HOA like my neighborhood) and many homeowners and builders are taking full advantage of this trend. Painting the entry door an amazing color brings instant personality to a home, adding a big jolt of style to its curb appeal.



When I think of homes painted with wonderful color, San Francisco is the city that comes to mind. Living in this city for several years was such an incredible treat for the eyes, and the home above is a perfect example. The happy robin's egg blue on the door is repeated on the window casings, creating a vibrant contrast against the subtle yellow facade.



The brilliantly painted door frame, surrounding weathered painted doors, seems very appropriate in this sun drenched entry. Warm, worn and lovely, it speaks to what you could possibly expect to find inside.



The sharp green door framed by a cool gray exterior exudes sophisticated style. This choice most certainly elevates the exterior of the home, and is continued into the interior. To see those images and read the entire Houzz Ideabook click here.
