Would my front door put you off buying my house?!

[Needtosellmyhousesoon]

Just painted it. Colour is not quite what I was going for. I wanted a lighter dusky pink. Ive only done one coat. Do you think it's too much? It's a wooden door so can be re-painted by buyers. I'm putting my house up for sale soon.

Picture under review!

If you’re planning to sell why on earth paint it a risky colour that some people will hate? Do it dark blue and once you’ve moved paint your new door pink.

Bright red on that colour house wouldn’t appeal to me!

I don’t like the colour at all but it wouldn’t put me off buying the house if I liked the rest of it. I’d be painting it a different colour if I bought the place!

However, I am a little puzzled as to why you chose such a ‘Marmite’ colour if you are planning to sell soon. I’d have chosen something with a wider kerb appeal.

Someone told me cherry red is the new sage green....

It's not my sort of colour at all but it wouldn't put me off the house, I'd just assume I would get it repainted or buy a new door.

I think it looks nice - warm and friendly - and I’m not normally a fan of pink. So, no, it wouldn’t put me off at all.

I thought that too.
Or is it to camouflage it someway ?

It wouldn’t put me off as it would be easy to change. I quite like the colour, but not for a front door

No. Paint is cheap.

I don’t care for it so I’d put it on my mental list of things I’d need to change. It’d only put me off if it was one of many small changes that totted up to too much.

Thanks everyone! I bought the paint 2 years ago when I thought I'd live here forever. It was Rustoleum dusky pink and not exactly cheap. I cant use it on the new house because that has a composite door.

Oh and the point about it making buyers think it's the same colour inside the house is concerning. It's all white/cream/beige inside. I dont want anyone to scroll past my house based on the door!

I could buy some new paint i guess but...trying to save money and not be wasteful.

The colour doesn’t put me off but the door itself would!!

I think it's a lovely colour and have just had the kitchen redone with units a similar colour. I think red or purple, while not necessarily putting me off, would be more "marmite".

I would not be put off a wooden door, but I would be put off that white UPVC monstrosity next door. Also an expensive composite door that doesnt match or complement the house would put me off.

I’d be more worried if it was hung like the neighbours one!

It would be one of the first things I’d paint though tbh.

The door colour wouldn't bother me at all, but the cement strap pointing would be a concern.

Love it!

It wouldn't put me off the house but I would repaint it at the earliest opportunity.

No, I love it! This is mine

Repainting isn’t a big job so no it wouldn’t put me off, but I would think the inside was equally like this,

I love it! Love a bold colour choice. Life it to short to make safe choices!

Its fine but if the purchaser likes everything but the door colour, a lick of paint would quickly remedy it 😆

I have been planning on painting my front door pink and have gone as far as getting a couple of colour cards.
I don't massively like the pink you have chosen but it certainly wouldn't put me off

It would put me off a little I think but I would paint over it
