Things worth thinking about.

Choosing a front door is a bigger decision than people give it credit for. It's the first thing visitors see, and you'll live with it for 15+ years. A few quick prompts to help you decide.

CONSIDERATION 01

Your home's architecture.

Does your home have a traditional character, or a more modern feel?

​

As a starting point, contemporary homes tend to suit the popular greys and blacks, while traditional homes often work well with pastels or bold colours. That said, plenty of colours can be mixed and matched these days — it's not a hard rule.

​

Pay attention to the door style too. A traditional panelled door with brass furniture on a modern new build can look out of place — and a flush contemporary door on a Victorian terrace can look just as wrong.

CONSIDERATION 02

Your personal style.

Bold and eye-catching, or soft and understated?

​

Some people want a front door that's the centrepiece of the front of the house — a vibrant red, a heritage green, a deep navy. Others want something that quietly belongs — a soft grey, a warm cream, a natural oak finish.

​

Neither is right or wrong. But knowing where you sit on that spectrum before you start designing makes the process a lot quicker.

CONSIDERATION 03

Matching your window frames.

Co-ordinating the door with the windows creates a cohesive, polished look — but contrast can work too.

​

White uPVC windows

Decide whether you want the door frame to match your windows, or whether you want the door to stand alone with a coloured frame for a pop of contrast.

​

Rosewood uPVC windows

A Rosewood frame and door creates a fluid, traditional style. If you'd rather add some contrast, neutrals, woodgrain finishes, black and anthracite grey all work well.

​

Aluminium windows

These usually suit darker tones — anthracite grey or black gives a timeless, architectural finish that complements the slim aluminium sightlines.

CONSIDERATION 04

Your garage door.

Matching your front door to your garage creates balance and helps the house look coordinated.

​

That doesn't mean they have to be identical though. Deliberate contrast can work just as well — for example, pairing a black garage door with a vibrant red or heritage green front door makes the front door the obvious focal point.

​

It's all down to personal taste. If in doubt, look at how the two will be seen together from the road.

CONSIDERATION 05

Your brickwork.

Your external walls quietly dictate which door colours will look right.

​

Warm-toned brickwork

Pairs well with earthy shades like green, cream, or deep reds.

​

Cool-toned materials

Grey stone or white cladding tends to complement navy, slate grey or pastel blue doors.

​

Neutral tones

White, grey or oak work well with almost any exterior — the safe choice if you're unsure.
