We make a decision about whether we like something or not in about seven seconds, so if you’re selling your house, it's important to make a good first impression! It's one of the first things potential buyers see when they arrive outside your house, so that got us thinking - What colour should I paint my front door?

Classic, clean and chic; Dulux revealed that white is the most popular colour to paint your front door here in the UK. What colour is your front door?
Pantone Colour Of The Year
For 2019, the Pantone Colour Of The Year was Living Coral. Laurie Pressman, Vice President of the Pantone Colour Institute, has also just let slip that the Pantone Colour Of The Year for 2020 is inspired by the sea; so expect to see blue with complimentary greens, browns and whites.
Paint Colour Trends 2020
Paint brand, Behr, has released their 2020 colour trends palette ready for next year. With a wide range of options, we thought we’d pick out our favourites and share them with you...
Back To Nature Green
Type Colour Trends For 2020 into Google and you’ll see a lot of green popping up. Ranging from a muted ‘Neo Mint’ colour, to Secret Meadow Green; green will really pop on the door of a modern property and make a fresh statement.
Light Drizzle Blue
Wedgwood Blue has always been a favourite, but 2020 will see a more watered-down, paler version appearing. Light Drizzle Blue is cool, calm and collected and would be right at home on both classic and contemporary properties.
Graphic Charcoal
Battleship Grey has always been popular, but in 2020 we’ll see things getting darker, bolder and more dramatic with Graphic Charcoal. Not for the faint-hearted, this colour would look great on any type of property as it’s both modern and traditional at the same; a very versatile shade.
Creamy Mushroom
With white, cream and ivory all popular choices when it comes to front door colours, Creamy Mushroom is a new alternative to plain white for 2020. With a warmer more organic feel to it, we think this colour is going to be big, so make sure you get in there first!
Red Pepper
If you want to add a pop of colour to your home, Letterbox Red has always been the go-to statement colour, but 2020 will see a warmer, dirtier, more Mediterranean red trending; Red Pepper. Think grilled red peppers and juicy ripe tomatoes.
Dusty Lilac
Continuing on from the pastel trend is Dusty Lilac. This soft purple colour is elegant, interesting and modern. A must-have on the front door of any modern home.
