Every year when it starts to feel like fall (or it’s right around the corner) I find myself admiring richly painted front doors. I just love the way they make the front of a house pop and add a little something unexpected. I know for certain that when we no longer live in a rental I will be having a colored front door! (this may take some convincing of the hubby).

I absolutely love this navy door, it’s so pretty and such a nice switch up from going with black! I love the idea of a navy door with a gold handle and knocker, I think it would look so pretty. Plus I am just loving navy and gold together lately.

I love this shade of turquoise that John and Sherry did over on Young House Love Blog. It is such a fun shade and really adds a nice punch of color to the front of their house!

Of course I couldn’t leave out a red front door, and to me this is just the perfect shade, not to orange, not to blue toned and is really rich. I think a red door has to be one of my all time favorites and almost always looks great!

A black door has such an understated elegance to it. It’s a great way to switch up the front of your house from the traditional white door, but not jump into the world of color. Overall, painting your front door is such a simple, easy and inexpensive way to completely change the look of your house. Place a couple of potted plants to flank the door, and even a wreath if your feeling like a rebel and I feel like it’s a win in my books!
