Firstly, the colour that you paint your front door could give off a cheap appearance before a guest can even get into the house."Bright colours for the front door can often be a big turn off," Thomas explains. "Some examples of colours that you should steer clear of are bright pink, bright yellow, and orange."Certain colours could even have some damaging effects to the value of your home.
