Whether you’re buying a new home or remodeling your current one, deciding to swap out your wooden doors for iron ones is a big yet worthwhile choice. Envisioning this beautiful and grand exterior that others will see when passing by may cause you to immediately see a certain color – one that aligns with your vision, but which shade is best for your new iron doors? Keep reading to find out.
Why Does Color Matter?
To answer this question, it’s important that you know just how versatile iron doors can be. Gone are the days when only medieval designs and basic browns and blacks were all that was available. Now, homeowners can choose from an array of styles, shades, patterns, and elements that make iron doors truly unique.
Because of the different varieties that are now available, you can make these additions to your home align with your unique vision, style, and overall décor.
How to Choose the Right Color
When sitting down with professionals to discuss your proposed changes, one of the decisions you’ll be required to make is the color you want your iron doors to be. Before choosing which one you will go with, make sure to keep these helpful tips in mind:
- Consider Your Lighting – Does your patio and/or entryway appear darker? If so, opt for a brighter color to serve as a beautiful contrast. You can also choose a darker shade if these areas of your home appear lighter.
- Think About Your Style – What kind of style are you looking to project throughout your home? Do you prefer richer, darker colors or lighter, more natural shades? Are you planning to make your house more modern in appearance? If so, you can choose a fun and creative color option that stands out.
- Make Your Decision While Outdoors – Attempting to choose a color while indoors is not a good idea. The fact that your doors will be facing your home’s exterior means that selecting the right shade should occur while outside, as it will be the color you can expect to see when exposed to natural light.
- Seek Help from the Professionals (or a Color Wheel) – Do not be afraid to ask for help when you need it. Using a color wheel and/or talking with a professional can be a great way to understand your options and which shades will work best with the vision and style you are trying to achieve.
Remember, choosing a color for your front door is different from picking out the shade that will appear on your house. Don’t let it be an intimidating or troublesome task. Seek help when you need it, as this will give you the results you truly desire.
