Do you ever walk into your house sometimes and sigh at how ugly your front door has got over the years? Do you fear that you are going to end up with another boring door that just doesn’t fit your personality or the personality of your home, if you ever do decide to change it?With a multitude of stains and colors to choose from for your front door, you will never have to worry about getting stuck with a boring door. The only problem you have now is choosing which one you like more. To help, here are the top 7 colors people choose for entry doors and what they say about you and your home.Chateau Colored Entry DoorThe earth color matches well with almost any color you can possible think of to paint your house. It is also the color for people that prefer to blend in, rather than stand out from the other houses. It does add a touch of quiet elegance to your house, though.Forest Green Colored Entry DoorThe color green represents harmony, growth, peace and balance. Green front doors standout somewhat, depending on the type of house and landscaping you have. If you have desert landscaping with a lot of browns and grays, the door will still match well and give a feeling of harmony and balance, but it will be more noticeable.A yard that has a lot of green on the other hand, will allow the door to peacefully blend in to the background.Enzian Blue Colored Entry DoorA blue entry door is one that is hard to miss. And unless you paint your house the same color as the door, it will stand out no matter what other color you pick for the rest of the house. By the way, painting your house the same color as your door is not a good idea. The color of your door should be different than any other color on your house.The color blue represents prosperity and abundance; both of which instill positive feelings in visitors before they enter your home.Rustic Bronze Colored Entry DoorRustic bronze is a darker earth color, but one that stands out in a firm sort of way. It gives the home more of a dark elegant look, instead of a look that is meant to stand out in the crowd. Homes with rustic bronze colored doors are for homeowners that value their privacy more than wanting to welcome a lot of people in their home.Vallis Red Colored Entry DoorA Beautiful, bright red entry door yells out “welcome” to anyone approaching your home. Red is a traditional entry door color that dates back hundreds of years. It gives the feeling that the home is lived in with people that are full of energy and excitement.Sandstone Colored Entry DoorA sandstone entry door matches most colors that you could paint your house. The fact that this color can match most any other color is no surprise, given that this is the color of harmony. A door of this color indicates that the home has a perfect harmonious balance with everything around it.Mountain Berry Colored Entry DoorMountain berry is a mix of the vibrant welcoming vallis red and the more private and isolated rustic bronze. To many it says that I like to stand out in the crowd and welcome visitors with open arms, but I also enjoy being alone sometimes to enjoy the quiet.
