Want to bring charm to your home? You'll want to read this...

Painted front doors bring colour and charm to your home's curb appeal, but what shades should we steer clear of when wanting to create that all-important first impression?

According to Caroline Campbell, Head of Interiors at Tonik Associates, if you want to make your front entry more welcoming it is best to avoid plain white doors. It might seem like a safe option, but Caroline calls it a "wasted opportunity".

"The worst colour for a front door has to be no colour at all," Caroline tells Ideal Home. "What's worse than a white front door, it's such a wasted opportunity! The front door is one of the most important aspects of your home. So why not stand out from the crowd?"

If you are deciding on a paint colour, the team at Ronseal explain that the best colour to go for is blue. Not only will it make your home stand out from the crowd, but research conducted by Sell House Fast found that a blue door could boost your house value by a whopping £4,000.

Reaching for the paint brush? Marianne Shillingford, Creative Director at Dulux adds: "Spring has a smile on its face and doors painted in spring shades put a smile on the face of your house. Colours like petal pinks, soft organic greens and pale sky blues are what the best-dressed doors are wearing this spring."

Painting the front door might seem like an easy DIY task, but it's vital if you're looking to sell your home. "When it comes to property, the exterior of the home can shape a buyer's first impression and their experience of viewing the home," Nima Ghasri, director at GoodMove says. "By looking from the outside in, homeowners can have their property stand out from the competition and become more attractive to prospective buyers!"
