Front door to brighten entry way

5 anni fa
Ultima modifica:5 anni fa

We have a very dark front entry and are planning to order a new front door. Looking for opinions on what kind/color of door would brighten up this space. We have considered a medium colored "wood look" door or a painted door with the three large rectangle windows. If we went with painted, should we paint it the same color as the house (as the current one is painted), assuming with windows, it would be bright enough. Or would you suggest a color, and what color since it has to go well with the brick and the paint? The house paint color is Benjamin Moore Gunmetal, and it has a blue/gray look to it. We are keeping the 21" sidelight to the right of the door, and we don't worry much about privacy, so we'd choose clear glass panels in the door. We will also be removing the storm door that is open to show you the current door. Please ignore the landscaping. Yes the bushes must come out. That's next year's project. ;) Thank you for your help!

    I'd go for a glass door to match your glass sidelight. Remove the shrubbery that is helping darken your entry and brighten up the paint as well.

    If your home is contemporary you could look at Modern Steel Doors in LA. They have some nice styles that combine metal and glass.

    Removing the bushes and adding a modern door with color will make it somewhat more noticeable. But the effect will be limited. The entry is dark because the color of siding and the eaves is very dark.

    Would you consider painting the eaves a light gray? Would you consider painting the siding to the right of the door a lighter color (looks to be a wall of about 6 to eight feet long) as well as the door? That would put more light into the corner. How about widening the walkway, maybe with concrete pavers set in stone, all the way from the driveway to the area with the bushes are now, so the entrance is more visible?

    I actually like that current door. original, yes? green or orange would look great next to the gray.


    you could do more of a burnt orange to work w/the roman bricks.



    wood would work too.


    after you do the bushes, I'd consider staining or painting the porch concrete.

    I think "wood look" door will look great here. I agree with Beth and like her ideas.
