    The rust rock in a deep shade would be lovely and work with the surrounding nature.

    are you refinishing that deck so it looks like a nice, warm cedar or redwood? something like this: (I think you should or any door color will look blah)

    that would help immensely and look great against a black or Urbane Bronze by SW.

    or any of these

    or these amber shades.

    I don't care for that red or any maroon shade. maybe a deep aubergine. this color would pick up on the roof tone.

    a darker blue that reads almost gray

    if youre bold a coral

    and lastly a nice earthy gray green

    I think aubergine or a blue would be lovely. Red doesn't look that great with that stone.

    Hello. I would advise you to paint this door dark blue or dark turquoise color.

    I'm liking the peppercorn color.

    I like the Peppercorn Porter shows. I would consider painting the downspouts the same color as the siding and painting the garage door a few shades lighter than the siding. Adding some faux windows to the garage door would break up the large expanse.

    In the light of all the work we started to do and excited to get started I never thought about the molding around the door??? OHHH now I am disappointed in this project I orginally wanted a bigger molding around the sides and the top of the door :( can't put it on know.. SO what do I do with the top of the door or hasn't anyone really noticed that the door looks small. Also I wanted a address marker in the stone, Talk about BAD BAD planning on our part. We were more worried about the michigan weather and the time frame we had!! SOO sad. :( Thank you eveyone about the door color, I have not yet decided on it. Lots of colors!! I do think we are going to use the Faux windows on the garage I have looked into them and they seem to add a nice touch to the door. Thank you

    That door IMO should blend with the wall like shown above. Additionally, it requires a canopy to keep rain of the entrance

    That cultured stone was a mistake IMO. I would have used cedar shakes like you see below and added a metal canopy over the door entrance. This one below with the white support would have blended nicely.

    Then a white wall pergola over the garage would help the appearance of the home.

    I love Beverly's idea of adding a metal canopy of the door. It will add a lot of dimension to the entrance and provide cover as suggested. A pergola is a great idea as well. They're actually quite reasonably priced.

    I would paint the garage door very close to the color of the siding, as it's already plenty prominent by position without needing the emphasis of contrasting paint. Bright color for door, though -- I'd try a rust or a medium blue.

    dunno.

    Different door colors are suppose to mean different things like a Red Door means inviting or Welcoming . Orange is Exciting or you enjoy entertaining.

    if this is your side door and not your main door i would go with something that blends in a little better. I liked the Gray that Porter Picked out personally.

  • Porter Edun

    It's tough, I certainly understand acm going for bright on the house to add some pizzaz. I just keep going for the colors in the stone and waiting for spring when the deck is done and pots flanking the porch with flowers and so on can bring in that element that's missing even after the door is painted.

    Then I started to think a green tone for bringing in some of the landscape from the front yard and, "nature" if you will. I still do favor the peppercorn. I can see a pergola painted to match the window trim and perhaps a pergola same color over the garage.

    The canopy or pergola as Beverly shows is a great idea!

    I like the peppercorn also. The more I think about this I may wait until next spring to paint the door, I am looking into an awning for the door :) I think that would look nice and then landscaper is coming next week, I would like to see how it all ties in with the colors.

  • Porter Edun

    I do like the peppercorn as well.... keep in mind when looking for an awning what will tie in to the house facade/rock/roof and and work well with any door color. I'm sure they have different colors for the top portion.

    Nice choice for an awning! Stamped concrete is pretty but can be very slippery.

    A garage pergola could be repeated at the front door spanning from wall to wall.

    Our front door is ornate patterned solid wood door. We imported it (into Australia) from an amazing company in Africa

    We built in a lovely quiet sleepy hollow one side borders on forest and the water catchment dam in our area, the 2nd side has big acreage blocks - awesome -beautiful views without the high maintenance . When we first moved into our home we had wonderful friendly neighbours. Sadly, quite a few of them have moved on. We have three neighbours bordering our home on our left are very rude uncouth "okka" Aussies, sadly. On our right we now have new VERY loud foul mouthed (everything thing is punctuated with the 'F' word multiple times) Irish who have 2 barking dogs--poor things just need training and attention. The third neighbours are the most amazing family of Thai people. They make up for the yukkie neighbors so we are very grateful for their friendly gracious ways.

    Looks nice celerygirl! Maybe matching the trim color for the front door and the garage or doing them both in peppercorn with the white Pergola? Typically you would plant things that climb and aren't invasive on the pergola that works in your area/zone.

    If you google, "garage door pergola" you can see some ideas with vines, etc.

  • Porter Edun

    Naturally, the pergola could be most any color you like as well.

    I do not think that front door and garage door have to be matched.

  • Porter Edun
    hace 6 años

    I like it.... Yet, you are right it could be a color for the front door that is not over board. With vines and hopefully flowering some time of the year with what you have shown I thing it would look very pretty though. Nice!

    It is a bit monochromatic, but with planters on the porch and by the garage with flowering plants and a nice color with benches or chairs that tie in......

  • Porter Edun

    I see what you've shown with a nice yellow in tone chairs or chairs with a bench, black planters with yellow/white flowering foliage.....
