Help me choose front door colour

[DJDawn83]

We are changing our white upv door to a composite door. Also adding in a full length glass side panel and a medium sized window beside it. We will be bricking up the bottom of the two large windows.

Any advice on door colour? Should it match our garage door colour, which is dark green (not our choice).

Our semi detached house is made of two tone reddish bricks. It has some wooden tile cladding half way up

Have you thought about having a wider door made? We did this and reduced the size of the glass. It looks and feels so much better.

Agree with most of the thread to put a more modern door on your house. I'd probably put a hardwood one on like the attached images. It's much more in keeping with the style of your house. Work with what you have not against it.

Possibly painted, but not necessarily matching the garage door. Would be tempted to make the garage door a Matt black if I went with a wooden front door.

I agree that the door style is not in keeping with the house. A more modern style is imo the way to go.

I don't think your garage and front door need to match.

+1 for a more modern door

The modern doors look great, definitely go for one of those. Much more stylish.

we have loads of this type of house around us.
many houses have:

• navy blue
• black
• sage vintage green
• spearmint green blue vintage
• airforce or mid blue/teal shades
• slate grey

I echo opinions where posters have said, your house is 60s modern/ space age, or am i wrong? It can take a fairly modern shape door with simple but strong shapes. i personally would not go for a very traditional shape if you want to "future proof" your door choice for 15-20 years.

can you repaint green door? if not, i'd opt for a neutral slate grey if i lived in your house. looks lovely by the way, nice green space at the front.

oh yes, i re read and see you can paint garage door.

I've just seen the photo of your house. The garage door looks very dark grey and matches the wooden slats on the front (no idea what these are called). If these match in real life as well as they do in the photo I think you can go for a quite radical colour front door and make a real entrance. I also agree that a modern door would look amazing and love the modern examples for your house.

Think we're gonna go for a white door on keeping with other houses in street. But which design?

the middle door. its nice and contemporary in keeping with your 60s style house.
no 1 on left with three diamonds is too cottage style
no3 on the right with semi circle shaped window is too classic redbrick style.
just my opinion, but the middle is my favourite for your house style and era.

I think the middle style is most in fitting with your house too.

Mesh and Amy, I'm delighted you said middle one as that's the one my wife and I like the best. Cheers for reaffirming our preferred one

I'm firmly in favour of the middle one, but as a final option, how do people feel about this one? The knocker has spy hole and enables my wife to hang a wreath on at Christmas which would be nice

sorry, not a fan of the knocker, just clutters it up for me. the door knocker in this example is too classic for the modern style door.

i like the off centre glazed panel style though, its just as nice as the earlier one.

you can get thin strip metal door hook things for wreaths but you've prob seen these

if your wife is really keen on knocker with spy thing, can you get a more modern one? a straight bar on metal if such a style exists?

Thanks for your thoughts Mesh

Erm... not sure. I'll have a look on door website in a sec to check it out

I think there is far too much clutter in that last picture you have posted OP. Too much door furniture.

Have you looked at doors without glass in them? You are going to have a lot of glass at the front of the house anyway.

I'd go for the middle one. (but I love the ones that Dynevoran posted too)

You can still hang a wreath on any of them. Use a self adhesive hook on the inside upside down and use ribbon over the door to attach the wreath. I do it every year and it works a treat. I like the middle door too.

Agree the middle one of your three is the best fit. The wreath hanging idea is good I'll do that next year!

I think the middle style is most in fitting with your house too.

Me too

I don't like the additional one you posted.

Thank you all for posting your valuable opinion. We did choose the middle door in the end and can't wait to get it fitted! Warm regards, David and Dawn

I've just had a dark blue door put on to a similar house. I've gone for a more classic design. I was going to go for a more modern looking one, but i think that will date more than the mock Georgian look, iyswim, which will always be out of keeping with the house but probably (hopefully) won't scream '20-teens' in future years (which I think the square hole/off centre designs do).
