They say that first impressions count. But have you considered the first impression that your home is giving neighbours, friends, family and visitors? Your front door is not only the entrance to your home. It is a statement about the people inside the home too – and that’s you! So, what does the colour of your front door say about you and the people living in your home?
If you have a royal blue front door, it means you are prosperous and positive. Meanwhile, a darker shade of blue signifies a calm and grounded person behind the door. But if you have a light blue door, it means you are friendly and sincere.
Yellow doors are pretty uncommon in Peterborough, but they signify confidence, humour and understanding. Just like yellow, purple is an uncommon colour front door. If you opt for a purple door, you are telling people you are open-minded, spiritual and a risk taker.
In America a red front door is very common. However, red front doors are not so common in the UK. If you have a red front door you are saying ‘welcome’. That said, a brighter red signifies a more excited welcome and a darker red is a warmer welcome.
Think about the most famous door in the UK – Number 10 Downing Street. It’s black. Due to this famous black door, a black front door signifies order and control. Having a black front door on your home in Peterborough will tell people you are sophisticated and authoritative.
A green front door creates the impression of a healthy and safe home, with a family that want to be part of the community. The bolder and brighter the green your front door, the more exciting the family in the home.
Having a light brown front door means that you are warm and reliable. However, be careful of the shade. If you opt for a darker brown front door, it can give the impression that you are introverted and private. Meanwhile, a white front door, however, will tell neighbours that you are clean, organised and serene in mood.
A grey front door gives the impression of intelligence and being dignified. Grey doors are also seen as trendy and modern on newer build homes. An orange front door is less common, but if you have one it signifies that you are vibrant and enjoy entertaining.
