Whilst front door colours are all down to personal preference, if you’re thinking of selling anytime soon, then you may want to be careful with the colour you pick. Property expert Gregory
Smith at PriceYourJob.co.uk said there are certain colours to “avoid at all costs” because they could “devalue” your home. This included bright pink which is “not a shade” you should choose
for your front door, according to the expert. Gregory explained: “You can get away with certain bright colours, depending on the style and style of your property and if the colour matches
your home’s exterior aesthetic. “However, bright pink is a colour that is very difficult to match to your home, regardless of your home’s overall design.” If you do wish to opt for a pink
front door, dusky pink is a popular shade, especially on cottages. In most cases, green is an “excellent” front door colour choice because it is very warming. However, according to the
expert, pale green can be “very off-putting”. Gregory said: “Sage and other shades of pale green are very popular in interior design at the moment. “However, choosing these shades for your
front door can negatively impact your home’s kerb appeal. “Paler shades of green can often appear muddy or dirty, making your home seem less inviting.” Black is also a colour to avoid when
it comes to painting the front door, despite it being a super popular colour. Whilst it’s very easy to match a black front door with a home’s brickwork or exterior aesthetic, there are some
problems with black front doors. This includes absorbing a lot more heat than other front doors, meaning it may cause the door to expand or potentially crack. This is particularly a big
problem during the summer months and can be even worse if your front door is in the sun all day. Yellow may be associated with happiness, but it is a difficult shade to get right, especially
with a front door. If the shade is too bright, it can be overstimulating, especially if other houses on the road have neutral colours. However, a shade that is too muddy, can make a door
look tired and uninviting. The expert noted: “With this in mind, it’s best to avoid yellow for your front door. Additionally, a yellow door could stand out more than your neighbours would
like, so it could cause some problems with those around you.”
