Can’t choose. Brickwork is more red.

I do prefer chartwell green but don’t know if a darker colour is more practical

What style is the door?

What style is the house?

I think anthracite is classic but I love red doors on bed brick houses as long as the door is a nice design!

BluPeony · 01/07/2024 19:50

What is the orientation of your house? If the front is south facing I'd really avoid a dark colour as it'll bleach in the sun.

Barrenfieldoffucks · 01/07/2024 19:50

Do you have any sills etc painted?

We are redbrick with a Chartwell door and it looks good.

We have the Chartwell Green and love it. My second choice for our house was the red, but I felt the green more in keeping with the age and style of the house. I'm really glad we went for it. What style is your new door?

nc14 · 01/07/2024 19:51

We have a redbrick house and went for a soft black.

Haven’t chosen that either! Thinking the third or fourth?

Definitely chartwell green for me!
There's a few houses near us that have the darker colours and it just doesn't look right for some reason!

Ginkypig · 01/07/2024 19:53

If I had to choose out of those the Chartwell would be my choice way above either of the other two.

in terms of style it depends how much light you need to let in but probably same as you 3 or 4

im not a massive fan of too much glass though for the potential of it being smashed into but that’s an opinion most people wouldn’t agree with

mrsfeatherbottom · 01/07/2024 19:53

I love a navy door.

Mirandawrongs · 01/07/2024 19:53

Green is unlucky, red is lucky but black/dark grey increase property value.

from my wonderfully weird aunt when I bought a new front door!

VaddaABeetch · 01/07/2024 19:54

Number 3 for me

Mirandawrongs · 01/07/2024 19:55

Style 4. The rest have too much glass!
how will you hide from Jehovahs?

BluPeony · 01/07/2024 19:57

Get the Maple Square door in chartwell green and get the glass in the sandblasted option with the thin clear border.

ColonelRhubarbBikini · 01/07/2024 20:00

Chartwell Green would be my pick and no5 of the door options. You can always get a window film for it if there’s no option for the glass to be privacy stuff when you buy it.

I know the 3rd door option is dead popular at the moment but I think it’s gonna date badly. Also it makes me think of a spaceship and gives me the heebie jeebies.

seagullstolemypie · 01/07/2024 20:02

I see a red door and I want it painted black.
Or a bright canary yellow.

Longdueachange · 01/07/2024 20:02

4 in one of the greens. Are you comfortable sending us a photo of the house?

waltzingparrot · 01/07/2024 20:05

Chartwell Green

DoublePeonies · 01/07/2024 20:08

Don't get doors 2 or 3.
The low letterbox is a nightmare.

I'd go dark green or blue. In style 4 or 5.

I agree with this.

socks1107 · 01/07/2024 20:12

Next door has just a similar chart well green and it's lovely

AyrshireTryer · 01/07/2024 20:13

Letterbox in the middle of the door or your postperson will hate you forever.

FanSaBhaile · 01/07/2024 20:16

We have Chartwell Green door, and I love it.
Similar style to the middle design (light grey, can't read the name).

ETA: we don't have a letterbox in the door at all, makes for a much cleaner look.
