Selling Your Home? Choose the Best Front Door Colour to Boost Curb Appeal

The best front door colour to sell your home will be a neutral colour with a contemporary edge and one that integrates but goes beyond the colouring of the house. “I see a red door and I want it painted black.” So sang The Rolling Stones. They may have been onto something because black tops many designers’ lists today, decades later. (Although red still continues to chart well, too).

According to research conducted by online real estate service Zillow across the United States in 2022, painting the front door black increased the average selling price received by almost $6,500 (USD). 

If you live in or around London, Ontario and plan to sell your home, you too might fetch a higher selling price by simply painting your front door the right colour. Painting a wood, fibreglass, or steel door is a fairly easy-to-learn and cost-effective do-it-yourself project.

 

What if you’d just like to update the look for your enjoyment or enhance the security of your front door?

But maybe you’re NOT planning to sell. Consider a custom factory-painted door that Forest City Windows and Doors can order and install for you.
