Popular front door colours which could ‘devalue’ your home to ‘avoid at all costs’

Phil Spencer shares the reason your home isn’t selling Property expert Gregory Smith at PriceYourJob.co.uk has shared the list of five front door paint colours to ‘avoid at all costs’ because it could ‘devalue’ your home. 1. Bright pink The expert explained: ‘Despite the popularity of Barbie this year and the shift towards Barbiecore and millennial pink interiors, pink is not a shade that you should choose for your front door. ‘You can get away with certain bright colours, depending on the style of your property and if the colour matches your home’s exterior aesthetic. ‘However, bright pink is a colour that is very difficult to match to your home, regardless of your home’s overall design.’ If you have your heart set on a pink front door, opt for a dusty pink shade instead.

Gregory said: ‘Sage and other shades of pale green are very popular in interior design at the moment. ‘However, choosing these shades for your front door can negatively impact your home’s kerb appeal. ‘Paler shades of green can often appear muddy or dirty, making your home seem less inviting.’ Looking for a new home, or just fancy a look?

Black The expert continued: ‘Black continues to be one of the most popular front door colours as it’s timeless and tends to match easily with all home designs. ‘It’s very easy to match a black front door with your home’s brickwork or exterior aesthetic. However, there are some problems with choosing this colour for your front door.’ This includes absorbing a lot more heat than other front doors, meaning it may cause the door to expand or potentially crack. This is particularly a big problem during the summer months and can be even worse with a south-facing garden. Trending Five jobs to never DIY
