Dark entrance door colours may seem intimidating or scary if viewed individually, but they create quite an inviting appearance after being installed in the home. When people see a dark door entrance surrounded by the white and bright colours on the rest of the home, they cannot take their eyes off it. The dark colour attracts people to the entrance regardless of its architectural style.
Why are dark colours attractive? Perhaps it is their versatility in adapting to contemporary and traditional architectural styles. After all, dark door colours make the entrance doors look rich and luxurious because they emit a sense of importance and sophistication. So if you’re struggling to think of ideas for your entrance door aesthetics, you should begin by incorporating dark colours into the design.
Let’s examine three entrance door designs that go well with dark colours.
1) Black Door w/ Brass Additions
Do you have a white-coloured home? If so, a black Georgia-style entrance door would look superb in it. Make sure it is a vibrant and intense black colour to signify the quality of the door’s craftsmanship.
In addition, brass door keylocks, letterboxes, doorknobs, and eyeholes give the door a classier and more elegant feel. The mixture of brass and blackness will make your home look like an important place.
2) Blue Door w/ Stained Glass Panels
Dark saturated blue colours on a Victorian-style door would be quite inviting to people. The stained glass panels and solid blue door combination form a warm and cute design, especially during the colder and darker winter months. You could even add some beautiful white stone to the panels too.
The doorknobs and keylocks are made from shiny light gray stainless steel.
3) Green Door w/ White Frame
A Georgian-style green door with a white frame goes wonderfully with a door made from red brick. It is the kind of design that used to exist on old schoolhouse buildings back in the day. But if you add it to your home’s entrance door in the 21st century, people will feel at ease when they see it.
Tips
The best way to approach dark door entrance colours is to use the same satin and polished metallic finish for your letterboxes, doorknobs, keyholes, etc. You could also add some outdoor lighting features to allow your entrance to shine at all hours of the day and night.
For instance, adding sidelights won’t bother the traditional or quaint design style of your dark-coloured entrance doors. If the lights are far enough away from the doors, people will only focus on the doors themselves and not the lights.
