Your front door is not just a portal into your home, but also into your personality.

Recent research has revealed that Brits make assumptions about a person in less than 9 seconds after seeing the colour of their front door… plus after a busy day, it’s wonderful to be greeted by a colour that says ‘welcome home!’.

Taking pride in your exterior can impact the way you feel, engage and interact with your space; and the colour choice can make all the difference.

So, what does your door say about you?

RED

As you’d probably guess, the colour red tells the world “look at me!”. This colour is not for the faint hearted, and characterised with bold, passionate and daring personalities – you are the loud one at the party!

YELLOW

If you have chosen the sunny hue of yellow then you are considered to be extremely welcoming, warm, cheerful and optimistic – you are the ultimate of hosts.

GREEN

Is green your colour of choice? If so, unsurprisingly you care about your home, community and environment. This colour also gives the homeowner an element of safety, relaxation and freshness…. aaaah!

BLUE

The colour blue suggests you are confident, sincere with integrity a top priority. You are also considered to be extremely trustworthy – so your neighbours are more likely to leave parcels at your house when they are out.

GREY

Grey is often associated with people who are mature and authoritative. This timeless colour not only works all year round but also lets others know that security is high on your agenda… watch out would be robbers!

BLACK

The iconic colour of 10 Downing Street, black, is believed to be chosen by those who are formal, sophisticated and hold boundless power. This colour lets your neighbours know who is boss, but with a slight air of mystery.

PURPLE

A purple front door is considered to convey a creative homeowner who is comfortable with taking risks and dreaming big. Your neighbours would consider you a “free spirit”… but not necessarily in the ‘hippy’ sense!

PINK

Do you think pink? Well if you do then you are believed to be the most outgoing and mischievous of all homeowners! Naughtiness aside, you are considered to have a much softer and genteel side, and are likely to be romantic, loving and friendly… ding dong!

WHITE

Last but not least (and the most common), the white front door. If your home has one of these, then you are mostly associated with peace, calm and cleanliness – making you one of the most approachable on the street, so stock up on tea and biscuits!
