We frequently get asked what the most popular front door shades are. Consequently, we have compiled an interesting read on lucky front door colours based on Feng Shui.
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese practice that uses energy to harmonise individuals with their surroundings. While many of us do not believe in Feng Shui and end up dismissing it, it’s still there at the back of our minds, especially when it comes to our home.
We recently came across an article that said if someone were to picture some of the most prestigious homes globally, it was likely that the image would include a black front door (cue: 10 Downing Street and Charli XCX’ Los Angeles home)
However, the article goes on to mention that while black sets an authoritative tone, it can also be viewed as an unlucky colour in some cultures.
But fear not, as we at The Palladio Door Collection have you covered!
The front door makes a statement about your home. It’s the first thing that people notice when entering your home, which allows them to form an impression. A good front door should not only be aesthetically pleasing, but also strong and secure.
Feng Shui states that certain door colours have a special effect on your home, representing the energy that flows in. After all, no one would want negative energy to hamper their life or surroundings.
Doors that face a certain direction also hold significance. A north-facing door is regarded as the most desirable, bringing in radiance and opulence.
When it comes to colours, Red is supposed to be the brightest and most auspicious shade. Signifying warmth, passion and inspiration, a red front door is said to keep bad vibes at bay and transform your house into a home.

Next up are Black and Brown. Darker shades like these can absorb the opulent positive energy and harness it, which also helps in stabilising and maintaining a balance.

If you don’t want something too loud, Green would then be your best choice. Representing growth and prosperity, it is a safe option chosen by many homeowners.

Or you could stick to the basics and opt for a White door, as the colour signifies peace and joy.

A Blue door signifies knowledge and self-cultivation, so again, definitely worth considering.

Last but not the least, we have Grey that is for insightful and helpful people into your life. Grey is also one of the most popular front door colour choices which also shows that you are in tune with the trends.

You may have an ordinary front door and this article just might have inspired you to change your door colour. While painting your door might be an easy and quick fix, bear in mind that the paint will wear off after a couple of months, at most a year or two.
The Palladio Door Collection has doors in all the shades listed above plus more, so you can choose what would suit your personality and your home the best. Our doors are extremely secure, which means they are built to last. The best thing is that our doors come with a renolit foil finish, which means they are not painted and hence won’t ever fade. It’s no wonder why we offer a 12-year manufacturing guarantee alongside a 5-year anti-corrosion stainless steel door furniture warranty!
No matter what you do, make sure to use your front door to its fullest!
(As a word of caution, this article should only be regarded as advice. We wouldn’t want you to burn a hole in your pockets and change the way things are in your home)
