Every property owner seeks curb appeal. It’s the first impression a person has of your home and property while viewing it from the street. You can achieve curb appeal through lighting, landscaping, hardscaping, or a balance of both. Even a healthy, green, and well-manicured lawn can deliver curb appeal as it frames your home. A beautiful door can also define curb appeal by creating an appealing focal point.
All About Exterior Love
Most folks spend a lot of time choosing the perfect paint color for their home’s exterior. Too often, many homeowners neglect the doors and trim, especially the front door. Painting is one of the simplest ways to transform your home’s exterior, and your doors shouldn’t be the “forgotten canvas.”
Beyond Classic Neutral Shades
Embrace the idea of painting your doors a vivid shade. Many believe that traditional, neutral shades are the only way to paint doors. While there’s nothing wrong with a white, gray, or black door, the color wheel offers so much beauty to explore. For instance, you can brighten your entire home by painting the door a glossy red or bold blue. Or maybe for you, a deep purple front and side doors make a dramatic statement.
Some people paint their front doors in a bright shade that matches their shutters for a cohesive look. Others prefer a bold hue on their doors with white trim and brass hardware.
The Best Paint for Exterior Doors
You can do it yourself with a bucket of paint, but our expert painters offer some advice: The paint you use matters, especially for your exterior doors. Interior and exterior door paints differ. For exterior doors, choose a paint with a thicker formula containing more additives that help resist the elements. Consider the 90-degree temperatures around here.
Latex-based paint generally works best for your front door. It offers excellent coverage, is environmentally friendly, and dries quickly. As a water-based paint, latex is ideal for fiberglass doors.
Affordable, Attractive and Durable
Your front, side, and back doors provide instant curb appeal. Don’t hesitate to walk on the wild side with a bold new shade. Paint is inexpensive, long-lasting, and eye-catching. If you don’t like it or get bored, simply paint a new shade. While you paint the door, go ahead and paint the door’s trim.
