What does the color of your door say about the home? You’d probably think “there’s nothing to it really” but just as flowers have a language so does your front door color. It is after all, the focal point of your abode. Doors can make or break the look and even the possibility of getting your house sold should you want to. Without realizing it, the colors we wear, the cars we drive, and the wall painting we just did- reveal a thousand things about us. If one wears bright colors, people would identify that person as lively or outgoing while those wearing gray might convey “that’s a plain kind of person.”
We’ve always had a brown door, I know, it’s kind of lame. Since we live in an apartment building and everything is ready when we moved in, we really had not touched anything except for the walls and the furniture we brought in.
My kind of door for our would be house is a blue one, white walls, french windows by the side and a porch painted in all-white. Perhaps a door positioned in an elevated manner, with just a few steps of the stairs leading to it would do. I imagine it would really be a beautiful sight when it snows.
Though I don’t believe in Feng Shui, I think there really is something to why a house owner would choose a certain door color. As I chose red for our wall to make the home lively, why could I not have a red door to convey the same? According to experts, here are some of the popular front door colors and what it says about the home and the people living in it.

Blue
– calm, peaceful, relaxing. Every visitor would feel at home when they see this color upon entry.
Green
– health, harmony, peace. having some indoor plants would surely make those entering a house with green doors feel peaceful and in balance with nature…relaxing as blue is.
Red
– vibrant, welcome, alive. Red, connoting passion is like welcoming everyone looking in it to come in. Those who would enter will surely be excited to see what’s behind that door.
Yellow
– merriment, humor, curiosity. Now, wouldn’t you be curious to see what’s behind that merry door? I surely will, I would love to have some laugh with the people leaving in a house with a yellow door.
White
– purity, clean. Though white is not often on those list, I personally think that it is still the color that suggests the purest of intentions. White french doors? Yeah, they’re still my choice of portal!
We do have the same color of our doors throughout the house. Though we don’t have any choice because it is a company provided accommodation.
Ours is wood color and hubby is planning to change it coz it is old.we both like the antique looking door. .I like blue color too.
There’s such a thing? haha Well our bedroom door is blue, so I guess it’s nice huh. That;s our main door because this is already our home haha

and back to the doors.. hehe… indeed what we see – gives out a feeling… like how fast food makes use of the color red… it makes you hungry staring at the color red… it does sure work for me lol

I always love a white door because it looks neater. Brown is a standard colour. Yes, it is entirely up to the home-owners taste. Colours comes according to their taste.
Red would be nice or blue 🙂 they re both my favorite colors haha!
We have 3 doors at home, the main and middle door is color brown and our bedroom door is color white. Among the three, I find more peace in our white door. It is so relaxing to look at.
Our main door is like that color but other doors different siya…
Whats the best color for a door?
the doors here in my rented are all white from the main doors to the comfort room doors. all in uniform and they are quite boring
nice house ideas you have here. i love the color meanings. as for our house, we only buy it according to what we can afford which is the cheapest. got lots of stuff to renovate but it will wait.
all our doors are white…hmmm maybe we need to do a little repainting to add life to our humble abode.
Most of our doors are wood like some are old that needs a replacement. My husband likes wood products 🙂 BTW, your daughter is so cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
ooh, really nice ideas but our door doesn’t belong on that list, this looks like yellow brown or something, we haven’t change the color of it since we first moved.
Ours is white, more out of default since it is a rented apartment, but I like the white.
i think when we get our own place though itll most likely be a hardwood, probably carved out types. So, hmm I wonder what brown says…
I love the natural colors of wood, that’s what we have at home.
I want a red door because it’s my favorite color and it’s also a lucky color in Feng Shui.
A is so cute here!
I love red doors but our new flat has new restrictions, I would have wanted to have mahogany doors but the depot we went to doesn’t have that shade. :/ The next possible color is chocolate brown. Looking good so far. 😀
