What style of house are you building, is the door plain flush type or ornate leadlight or glass type, after all it may impact on the colour choice.

Choose a colour from a piece of furniture within - a cherry red chinese bureau, or perhaps an heirloom teacup? Something that has some sentimental and personal meaning, then you won't tire of it and it will be a talking point. Don't be afraid of colour!

Hi Derek Wales and Son Surface Coatings, we are building a contemporary house and will probably have a plain-ish door but with some glass panels.

we painted our front door the same colour as the entry door to our last place..sentimental me ..

Hi Robyn, have you considered a timber door stained in a dark stain with your mostly white surfaces around it could be quiet striking.
