What Story Does Your Front Door Tell?

House hunters will trawl through property listings and view several houses during the search for their dream North London home, but only a handful of properties will make a good impression and stand out from the crowd. We want your property to do just that and one simple way of catching their attention is by giving them something to remember your property by, like a stylish and welcoming front door that sings with kerb appeal. Front doors come in all shapes and sizes and believe us when we say they can have a personality of their own!

The Classic Colour

Some of us love a strong and classic colour on our front doors to really make a statement and tell the world of house hunters all about what your property has to offer. From post-box red to sunshine yellow and sage green to elegant indigo, a strong colour shows confidence in the property world. A warm red will invite potential buyers in with a sincere reception to a happy family home, but a subtle sage green inspires thoughts of nature and comfort. However, sunshine yellow is bright and daring which appeals to adventurous first-time buyers, yet indigo is rich and majestic for a more stately home. As long as you think carefully about your home’s personality, the colour of your front door can speak a thousand words!

The Pretty Pastel

If you want to move away from the more ordinary and classic colours without being too extreme, perhaps subtle and subdued pastel hues will work perfectly on your front door. Offering a refreshing appearance to your home’s exterior, pastel shades are right on trend at the moment, from soft pinks to dusty blues, and delicate lilacs to mellow yellows. Pastel colours are calming and attractive, evoking feelings of hazy summer days and drawing on the happy memories of potential buyers. These delicate shades are perfect for summer without being too aggressive and making your house stand out for all the wrong reasons!

The Natural Nude

Sometimes, it can be best to let your front door bare all. It can be difficult to beat the beauty of a natural wooden door, with the texture and grain telling a story of its own. A simple protective varnish or lightly coloured stain on your wooden door could be all you need to lift your property from the ordinary to the extraordinary! There’s something about this naked simplicity that has kept natural wood in the spotlight for so long, winning around house hunters time and time again.

The Bright Burst

There’s nothing wrong with showing a bit of your unique personality on the face of your home which house hunters can relate to. You can have a bit of fun playing with colour to add a vibrant and memorable twist to your property’s kerb appeal. Why not spice things up with a warming burnt orange, step off the beaten path with an energetic turquoise, throw a curve ball with a pop of purple or hot pink, or blow potential buyers away with a burst of blue like the famous front door from Notting Hill?  It’s best to avoid any colours that clash with the rest of your property, but a bright burst is sure to catch the eye of potential buyers and draw them in to see some more.

The Dark and Mysterious

Perhaps colour isn’t your thing or maybe it would simply not suit your property’s style at all. The good news is that greys and black are a trendy front door option too. Just think of the jet black entrance to number 10 Downing Street, possibly the most famous front door in the World! Glossy black portrays power, elegance and mystery, yet shades of grey display modern sophistication. It’s clear to see why black and grey is becoming an ever more popular option.

Front door colour options are endless and it can be an exciting way to add style to your property. No matter what you choose to do with your front door, giving it a fresh facelift will update your home’s kerb appeal in an instant, keeping your property looking well-cared for and attractive, which is only going to help it sell faster.
