Just had a new front door put it in and I can’t decide on what color would look best. I would really like a cranberry but I’m not sure if that would go. The trim is black I know black would probably be an easy choice but I really don’t want to black door. Any thoughts?? Thank you!!!

Patricia is right. The style of your home makes the door seem like another “big window”, which is part of the beauty and sleekness of the style. Similar color to the windows is best. Urbane Bronze is a fabulous SW color. Extremely neutral but, ironically, not boring.

I would do it exactly the same as the windows IMO not a style that would look good another color in that wall of windows and for color add a big black planter pot filled with seasonal plants .

Cranberry will work if you have some flowering shrubs in black pots or other cranberry accents on the front porch...maybe a couple of cranberry-colored ceramic planter pots? The walls inside the entry appear sort of tan-leaning-toward-orange. Maybe whiter lightbulbs can reduce that issue.

@eveuchan I don’t know urban bronze I’ll have to look it up.
@felixlady The walls are SW Proper Gray. I think it’s just because it was such a bright day. They are actually pretty dark. I do have kind of yellow bulbs in the chandelier in the foyer. I hadn’t really noticed that thank you
@Patricia Colwell-so do you mean going with the same beige paint for the door instead of the black?
I hadn’t thought of that either. I like the idea of a big black planter. Thx

The Tanish color of the house is my recommendation. Bring color in somewhere else

A deep grey could be nice and then add a set of 3 large planters in front of the double windows for a more modern look

As usual I agree with Patricia Colwell. Paint the door the same color as the surrounding windows to give a harmonious effect. Painting the door a different color makes it stand out but, unfortunately, not in a good way.

I think cranberry would be lovely. Have seen that combination on a house near me with a heavier door (not suggesting you change your door) and always admired it. Large planters, yes. Don't think you should put whiter light in foyer. It would feel like an interrogation centre rather than the welcoming entrance it is. I changed my bathroom to whiter lights to make it brighter and because designers seem to suggest it. Hate the coolness. Will be changing it back. Love your chandelier.

I have a similar situation and the door was painted a different color than the window. I repainted it to match the windows and it looked sooo much better.

As everyone is recommending a blend in color but you want a pop of color - what if you picked a blend in color but added two pop
of color vases or planters with some deep green plants to match the shrubs below?

The same color surrounding the house would look nice and contrasting it with some plants around would look nice too.

Okay!! Thank you guys so much! I had not even thought of painting the door the same color as the rest of the condo. I’m going to have that done this week and start shopping for some pots. Thanks!!!!

Since this is a condo..a picture of the whole building may influence the color choice...i think it may be a way to distinguish your unit from the others

Also if you count on the pots to distinguish your unit ...annual colorful plantings will need to be replaced with evergreens in the winter

So-I don’t have any photos of the whole building because the other units face a different way. My condo is on the end so it’s the only one that faces north the other ones are face east.

In this setting i think a distinctive color is needed to identify your unit more easily..a lime green comes to mind as it connects with the natural green surroundings but is still distinctive...the pots can also have the yellow green (evergreen)shrubs so you have a strong color statement that is not conflicting with the overall surroundings...and requires no seasonal attention

A few pots in the same theme in the patio area will also make it clear what your unit is encompasses...

Thank you! I had not thought to tie my bedroom balcony and my 2 patios to the front door.

With all the different architectural aspects ...i think i sort of “ defines your territory”.... in general makes it feel bigger ...more impressive

I think a bright color would be great. Yellow, lime green, cranberry all sound good and then add a planter with the color. I love the color on your neighbors door that seems to match their umbrella.
