Choosing the right paint color for your front door can often times be a daunting task. Some people swear by certain practical ideas like "you never put a black front door on a south facing house". Some people believe color has mood altering or other spiritual consequences like those found in Feng Sui. A red door on a south facing house being one of the more common bold looks.
Where To Find Inspiration
Inspiration is all around us. Drive around your neighbourhood - or spend the day on pinterest. What is on the other side of the door? In my house the furniture is painted with one of my favourite Annie Sloan Chalk Paint colors - Graphite.
Its Just Paint!
Don't be afraid to experiment (unless you are on a budget) - sometimes you have to live with a color before you can really determine if you like it or not. If you are like me - you would be content painting your door a few times a year!

For a door color it comes to the saying that judge book by it's cover. A door is sure the center of any building but a vibrant and well thought design makes it the attraction also.
My mom just repainted her door and at first I thought the color she chose was awful, but after some time it grew on me and I really like it now. Now she is going to want to recruit me to help paint the shutters.
