What Does Your Front Door Say About You? |
Posted: December 9, 2014 |
Your home says a lot about you – before you even enter through the front door. In fact, the front door is one prime place that makes a statement about your character and personality to neighbours, friends, and relatives. Take a look at your front door – what does its colour say about you? And if you are thinking of putting a new coat of paint on the door, consider these ideas about what the colour of your door tells the world. Red Front Door Painting your front door red is certainly a bold move. But what does a red door say about your personality? Well, it shows you are not reserved or a shrinking violet. Red is a dramatic expression of your outgoing nature. Red is also a symbol of British heritage – think old red post boxes and telephone boxes, and double-decker buses. Painting with red shows you are proud of your nation. Red comes in many shades, of course, and aside from pillar box red you could choose a more muted shade that is colourful, but not quite so shout-out-loud. You can even find wood stains in shades of deep brown and red. Painting with Blue Blue front doors are increasingly popular in city areas and in the countryside. In the past, royal blue was a popular option, but today it is just as likely that the front door will be painted in a navy shade, or in a light blue colour. Blue is typically said to be a reserved sort of colour, with calming and welcoming aspects. If you paint your front door blue, you are perhaps saying that you want to welcome people to your home, but your personality is quieter and calmer.
Pastel Shades While doors come in all shades and colours, some are more popular than others, like green, red and cream – take a look at www.safedoors.co.uk to see more. But some shades have increased in popularity and say a lot about your individuality and style. For example, shades of light green, sage, and teal are striking yet subtle. A sage-coloured front door is pure countryside-chic, even when you live in the city. Pastel shades conjure up images of country gardens and the outdoors. Pastel shades are ideal for anyone with a love of nature and also a love of modern style. Grey Doors What’s on-trend in front doors? Take a look at grey. Grey may appear to be a dull and boring colour, but pick the right shade in a shining finish and you send the message that you are intelligent, cultured, and urbane. Grey is the shade for you if you want the world to think that intellectual pastimes go on behind your closed doors – even when this is not always the case! How do you decide which colour to paint your front door, or if you are buying a new front door, which shade to pick? You should certainly use your common sense and make sure that the colour suits the style of your home rather than just your preference in colour shades. And you’ve got to love the colour of your door as you will be seeing it every day – don’t worry too much about creating the right impression; decide for yourself.
