Mine is white atm, but wnat to paint it as it requires wiping down far too often!!

Which is supposed to be a lucky colour according to feng shui and all that?

Mine is a grotesque white plastic one atm, I HATE it. Getting quotes in to swap it out for something a bit more tasteful (and secure). New one will be glossy black with chrome door furniture (a la No.10 Wink}

i thought it was red for feng shui, could be wrong though

i have white at front and black at the back

LIZS · 30/05/2006 16:50

ours is a dirty white too ! Think racing green and dark blue are "good", or perhaps a rich red.

White

Piccalilli · 30/05/2006 17:09

Purple.

Was meant to be dark blue but dried purple. At least it's different.

spacecadet · 30/05/2006 17:15

White! With a chrome number.

onlyjoking9329 · 30/05/2006 17:23

ours is red, looks lovely, but starting to fade, i am not sure pink will look so nice.

IAmAMonkFromHunkerPennsylvania · 30/05/2006 17:23

Black. Looks shit.

Mercy · 30/05/2006 17:25

Black. I wanted Amsterdam Green but couldn't find it

flutterbee · 30/05/2006 17:26

Mines a big white wooden door but all the paint is cracking (we have just bought the place) so we will be replacing the whole door soon, I quite fancy racing green it looked lovely on one of my mums old houses.

LadyGreensleevesofGreendale · 30/05/2006 17:28

White PVC effort. Easy to clean.

IAmAMonkFromHunkerPennsylvania · 30/05/2006 17:30

Would just like to clarify that I don't think black front doors look shit, just ours (probably something to do with the fact it doesn't fit, the paint's chipped and the bit of glass has been painted with what looks like that yellow stuff you put on headlights if you go abroad).

White PVC

Am I right in thinking that some of you are implying that front doors are meant to be cleaned? Shock

intergalacticwalrus · 30/05/2006 17:55

Ours id Frosted Glass, fitted by Bath City Council circa 1982. It's bloody hanging. If we owned the house, it would be a one of the first things to go, along with the manky black metal framwed windows.
