It’s almost fall season here in the North Shore of Massachusetts and that means it’s time to start thinking about insulating your home properly. Although last winter was quite mild, we’re expected to see colder temperatures this time around. It’s important that homeowners take every measure to reduce heating expenses. One way to reduce the heating bill and retain heat inside is by installing a new front door.
Front doors should fit snuggly into their frame and have a rubber stopper on the bottom that serves as an air-tight seal against the cold. Having a door that does its job to protect you and your family against the cold is great, but a door that looks good is even better. At Bay State Exteriors, our goal is to make sure our customers have a front door that increases curb appeal as well.
If you’re in the market for a new front door and are looking to switch up the color scheme, here are a few door color suggestions and their meaning.
- Wood. Homeowners who opt for wood doors are very down to earth, approachable and welcoming.
- White. White painted doors symbolize cleanliness, organization and simplicity. The interior of a home with a white door is often very open and comforting.
- Yellow. One of the most standout colors a homeowner can choose for their front door! Yellow symbolizes positive energy and creativity. It’s also easy for people to find the house if you’re having company over.
- Turquoise. This color is funky and unique but serves as a great center of focus for those who have white or gray vinyl siding. Our exterior remodeling company in Peabody can help you choose the best vinyl siding for your turquoise door.
- Glass. You’ve got nothing to hide! Glass doors are very elegant and make for a grand entrance to any front door. Our door installation company in Peabody will help you find the glass door of your dreams and properly install it for you.
- Red. A rare sight to see these days, red front doors are another eye-catching and memorable color and look great on homes with stone or brickwork in the front as well as white trimwork or vinyl siding. Red doors symbolize hospitality and entertainment.
- Gray. Although not very eye-catching, gray front doors are becoming increasingly popular with homeowners who want to put emphasis on other aspects of their front entrance, such as colorful flowers or flags. Homebuyers are often more attracted to neutral colors such as grays, tans and shades of white.
