Yes, your front door matters. Whether you think so, or not. Your front door can tell me who you are, or tell me you don't care, or more likely, I care but it's on the to-do list.

Had to smile at this front door, below. It's the most often color choice I make for front doors, and I don't mean the blue. I search interiors for a recurring color in the house, important but not boastful. Typically, it's found in several pieces of art on the walls. Clients will say, "I didn't realize I had that color in all my art." Of course the door color must work with exterior colors already chosen, it's rare not to have it work.

When clients have a dark foyer, I like to put in the glass door, below. Literally. We buy a panel door, and have our carpenter replace the panels with glass.

Ironically, a year in our ca. 1900 American farmhouse, I've not painted the front door, it remains the seller's blood red color. Up front, total arrogance, I thought it must be painted quickly, MY color. It's on the list. Oddly, the arrogance has disappeared. The blood red is working for me, until the time arrives and its list number has been reached.

Look around your home, what color is 'popping' from the art?
.
Does it scare you a bit, and excite you too, wanting to put it on the front door? It's probably your color.

Tara, you're reading my mind. I've been trying to decide on a color for my front door--tired of the same boring brown of the wood. I'm off to check out my art! Guess I'll find my color there! Thanks!
Thank you! Exactly the information I needed and you presented it very clearly.
