Browse Forums Interior Decorating Lounge 1 Oct 27, 2008 5:02 pm Hi,
We're tossing up a choice of two colours for our external doors and are looking for some opinions. The brickwork is fairly light (Crema, PGH/CSR) with black Boral roof tiles, black window frames, black downpipes/guttering, beige fascia (or something along those lines) and a beige garage door. We were thinking of making the entrance door black with some horizontal glass strips but have an external garage door and laundry door to consider. While we haven't finalised internal colours, the two below are probably on the shortlist. We'd be looking for a gloss finish to the top one for skirting boards/trimmings and the bottom for walls. At the moment, we're tossing up whether to make the other two external doors the same colour as the trimmings or black to match the various other external features. We're happy with the front door, but think the other two might be too bold (both from the outside and inside). Please help!

Garage door, I would go another colour, as black does tend to fade a fair bit in the sun.

Basically, the front door is going to be black. The side door (to the garage) and the back door, we're uncertain about. Tossing up between black and a more neutral colour.

The front door is south facing and the side door is west facing (so I don't see many issues there). However, the laundry door is north facing. We will most likely put a security screen in front of the laundry door though, so it may shield it a little...then we'll only have half a faded door!
