6 reasons why you should change the colour of your door

Say hello to a brand new look. - by Jane Pine
  • 01 Jun 2018

Make a grand first impression with an eye-catching front door. Take a look at this season's must-have shades so you can recreate your statement entry. 

Pale blue front door

Taubmans in Imagination.

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. 

Dark green front door

Taubmans in Irish Stone.

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.

Front door in lavender

Taubmans in Lavendula.

Lilac

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

Orange front door

Taubmans in Orange Relish.

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.

House with blue front door

Front door in Taubmans Suddenly Sapphire.

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.

Grey house with pale pink front door

Exterior paint in Taubmans Stormy Shadow; front door in Taubmans Pink Dust.

Dusty pink

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

Still not sure about what colour will suit your home? Take a look at Taubman's Online Paint Visualiser.
