Choosing the Right Exterior Door Frame Color

When it comes to exterior design, the little details often make the biggest impact—and one of those details is your door frame color. While it may seem like a small decision, your choice can help tie together the overall look of your front entryway.

So… how do you decide?

Match or Blend? You Choose.

The great thing about selecting a frame color is that there’s no wrong answer—it’s all about personal style and what you want your home to say when people pull into the driveway.

• Match the Door Slab
  Most of our homeowners opt to match the door frame with the door itself. This creates a cohesive, polished look that draws attention to the door as a statement feature. It’s a great way to keep things simple and streamlined.

• Blend with the Siding
  Others prefer to have the frame blend with their exterior siding or trim, allowing the door to stand out while the frame fades into the background. This option works especially well if your door color is bold and you want the frame to be more subtle.

Need Inspiration?

If you’re unsure what direction to go, try looking at exterior photos of homes you love. Pay attention to whether their door frames match the door, the trim, or the siding—and which effect speaks to your style.

At the end of the day, the best choice is the one that makes you smile every time you pull into your driveway.
