The front door is the "business card" of your home, but also a landmark of your personality. In feng shui practice, this is considered the "mouth of Chi", the place through which positive energy and harmony enter your home.

Many of us focus only on the furniture and decorations that beautify the interior of our home, and we often forget that the entrance to the home also deserves special attention.

If you want to attract only good things in your life, forget the classic white or the dull brown and paint your front door in the craziest colors!

Here are some colors for the front door that will instantly brighten up the look of your home, but also the feng shui principles that you need to keep in mind.

Color ideas for the front door

Lime, turquoise, or solar yellow

Non-traditional choices, such as colors can completely change the perception of the homeowner.

Lust for life, joy, optimism, and pure joy - these are the traits that the strong shades of lime, sun yellow, and turquoise imprint on your personality. Rest assured that guests will only enter your home with good thoughts!

Bright red, elegant indigo, or deep black

These are colors that not everyone dares to apply on the front door! Red is an excellent choice for people who want to convey passion, energy, while the shade of indigo conveys elegance, good taste, and balance.

But what about a black-painted front door? Even if many consider it a trivial color, black denotes attitude, ambition, boldness. Black is for those who want to stand out from the crowd, to stand out with a clear and distinct message: "I'm special, you can't ignore me!".

Mint green, electrifying orange, or navy blue

Mint green was the star color of 2015 among fashionistas, but it continues to be adored even today. Freshness, hope, and harmony are the keywords that best describe this nuance. If you identify with these features, choose this shade for the front door!

Autumn is unfortunately associated with sadness, but an energizing orange stain could completely change this preconception. Choose bright shades of orange for the front door and decorate with colorful pumpkins, which you can now find in abundance in the markets.

For the nostalgic ones who still dream of the azure sea, navy blue is the ideal choice for the front door. A garland of stones or shells picked from the beach will perfectly complete the seascape you miss so much.

Inspirational purple, sapphire blue, or coral pink in trends

Are you nervous and your day was terrible? Choose the purple for the front door and you will see how the nervousness disappears as soon as you step into the house. Psychologists say that this color has the gift of making us feel good.

Inspired by the depths of the ocean and the starry summer sky, sapphire blue is the color that interior designers place in the top shades you need to add to your home. It is elegant, modern, natural, harmonious. For fashion lovers, coral pink is the ideal choice for the front door. It is a statement color, which expresses femininity, youth, and freedom.

Greenery, magenta, or mustard yellow

This fresh combination of green and yellow is irresistible. It is a color that denotes minimalism, harmony with nature, and simplicity.

In combination with the bouquets of lavender that contrast with the fresh green, the front door will turn into a gate to a new beginning, marked by a healthy lifestyle and harmony with the environment.

We have a life! So why not paint it pink? But what about a magenta rose? It is a strong color, but perfect to be applied to small spaces, such as the front door.
