Turquoise Front Door

Choose a stand-out blue front door color to add striking appeal to your home. This exterior has a distinctly traditional character with its ornate trim and brick facade. However, the vibrant shade of turquoise on the front door offers contemporary contrast.

Cottage-Style Entry

This turquoise door makes a splash, thanks to its complementary color partners. White casing highlights this welcoming hue. When choosing a blue front door color, consider the color of walkways and exterior siding (here, it's brick red and cedar shingles). Then, select a shade found on the opposite side of the color wheel to create attention-getting contrast.

Classic Blue Front Door

You can make a statement by painting your front door while still keeping it classic. Consider replacing an ordinary door with a distinctively detailed version to double your entry's impact. Though solid in nature, this door delights thanks to its delft-blue color and board-and-batten details.

Blue-Gray Door

Roof shingles enhance a home's appearance and typically coordinate with a home's siding color. They also offer a great place to find color inspiration for your front door. This blue front door color, with a touch of gray, is the key to this house's cohesive look. It carries the color of the roof shingles closer to eye level.

Coastal-Inspired Entryway

Framed by roof-supporting columns, this front door demands attention. The homeowners referenced their coastal locale by painting the door a deep-sea blue that pops against the home's siding and trim. Vividly glazed containers and blue-toned pavers carry the door's hue further into the landscape.

Bright Aqua Door

Use a vibrant front door color to highlight your home's exterior features. Because it's tucked into a sidewall, this blue front door was barely noticeable until the homeowners painted it a gorgeous aquamarine. The seaworthy hue adds to the home's beach-cottage style and provides a breezy counterpoint to the stucco siding and stone-clad setting.

Consider smoky teal tones a contemporary take on navy blue. These shades make excellent choices when you want a subtle yet fashion-forward statement. This paneled front door, which steps off the lighter blue-gray siding, also connects to the greens in the surrounding landscape.

Peacock Blue Door

Go bold with color for a whimsical, welcoming entryway. Though a fanciful monogram and knocker make a statement on this plank door, the door's bright hue draws people down the garden path. Green-glazed posts and shutters in a complementary shade amplify this garden shed door's prominence and increase its visibility.

Striking Blue Front Door Color

Doors fade from view when set back on a facade or shaded by a porch roof. Use a high-energy, high-contrast paint color to carry your front door into the limelight. This sky blue door stands out brilliantly against the warm gray siding.

Navy Blue Front Door

Federalist architectural styles, born in our country's Colonial times, call for understated color choices. Though different in hue, this blue front door color and black shutters play nicely because they have the same visual weight. Their contrast makes an impact without disrupting the home's traditional personality.

Robin's Egg Blue Accents

Painting the front door and the shutters a vibrant shade adds can't-miss curb appeal to a monochromatic exterior. This one-color treatment is especially effective on straight-lined structures with little architectural embellishment. Here, a robin's egg blue pairs perfectly with French-inspired exterior elements like arched windows and stucco siding.

Unique door designs require thoughtful consideration when it comes to color. High-gloss turquoise paint makes this door shine with a striking finish that shifts along with the light. Turquoise repeats on a house-number plaque and bench pillows to further liven up the neutral exterior.

Displaying a single color in different ways and varying tones creates pleasingly put-together spaces. Cobalt blue paint turns this front door into a focal point. Periwinkle chairs, bluish flagstones, and worn and shiny blue flowerpots provide finishing touches that result in a captivatingly well-rounded composition.
