To think white front doors are common?

[SerialCerealKiller]

Settle a debate.
Dh wants to paint the front door. No problem, I've said he can do anything but white as it just looks common and tacky imo.
Would you believe it, white is the only colour he wants!

Aibu?

i guess white uvpc doors are popular because they are so cheap to buy.

I live in a listed building with a white wooden front door. I'm not allowed to change the colour.
My door is not common!

YABU

The only reason I didn't have bright yellow was that it wouldn't go with next door's sage green. Damn her!

I'll tell you what's common, and that's goady OPs tonight.

'Common' is making sneery remarks about others and judging people on the colour of a door. I would buy a white door if it kept the snobs away....

I think the OP is having a laugh and we should give her the benefit of the doubt and join in!

I read on a survey that 98% of people thought that homes with white UPVC doors were more likely to have bought their furniture from Brighthouse. what a load of fecking bollocks .

no photo but mine is black gloss painted , brass door knocker and letter box, the windows are wooden framed but the previous owners thought it nice to have a uvpc front door why ???

I have a white PVC front door...

Scratches arse, pulls up trackie bottoms and wanders off to the offie

Can't believe you have a front door OP. Common as muck, darling. I employ a poor person local woman to hold up a sheer curtain made of unicorn hair which was woven into an organic 'door-like structure' by poor people mountain dwelling artisans. It's designed not just to facilitate, but to enhance the entry and exit event and to nurture the porch-to-street experience.

Don't go for sage green, most houses it doesn't suit plus it was such a fad it already looks dated.

i live in a naice avenue with a golf course opposite and 9/10 of the houses on our avenue have white doors cor we must all be more common than we thought we were

Next door have a volvo, a Labrador and shop in Waitrose- I'm horrified to think that all this is just to disguise the fact they have a white front door.

Maybe Architect Grey? Round here you can spot the Architects by the grey door and grey window frames.

I don't like white upvc and I've heard they are the easiest doors to break in to. White as a colour can look nice though, or is this a racist door thread

What IS common exactly?

Do you know what IS common and tacky?

Judging people by the colour of their front door!

Let's start a white cars are common thread instead. Why not.

I dislike white front doors too (especially the really naff upvc ones with lots of stained glass effect). Although not as bad as the purple painted one my next door neighbour chose

Read this OP

White cars are indeed common, less so than silver though

I would love a red door but dh is having none of it. Grey will become common soon too. What else is left?

What else is left
Erm being an arse has obviously been taken

My door is very shiny raspberry pink. I love it!

Just look at Farrow and Ball's colour card, take it to a dulux matching thing. Bob's your uncle. No possibility of class-based mistakes

I am quite partial to a sugary pale-ish pink. Vetoed by DH
