Pale blue

There's nothing that says 'baby boy' about this slightly dirty, pastel blue. Pair with matt black hardware for a modern take on a vintage vibe.

Emerald green

For a timeless look with bags of personality, a bold green can transform the entry to your home. Complete the look with a smart brass door knocker.

Lilac

This shade imparts a hint of modern elegance when paired with a white exterior. Keep things classic with brass hardware.

Orange

Take a front door from tired and dull to fresh and fun with a brave punch of colour. Surround a brave orange with creeping greenery for that 'wow' factor.

Cobalt blue

Harness the front door as a focal point with a bold shade that enhances the architecture. Continue the statement by painting the front steps in the same colour.

Dusty pink

Combined with grey (and even black), this delicate shell pink looks all grown-up. Make it pop with a fresh white trim.
