Would You Paint The Front Door Red?

January 9, 2017 · In: House Buying Tips, Interior Design

Red Door
There are a lot of great things about the color red.  Nails, shoes, lips, but a door?  Is it too crazy?  Is it too out there?  Would you Paint the Front Door Red?

Maybe I’m partial.  There’s something about a pop of color that makes me happy.  We put two coats on ours and as soon as we thaw out a bit after “snowmagedon” hit over the weekend, ours will be painted to perfection in Crimson Red.

But it was somewhere between the first and second coat that I started to fret.  Should I have gone this bold?  What was wrong with black?

A little more paint, though, and I knew it was just what the house needed.  The neighbors all agree, too, which is really great news when you are the new kid on the block.

I’ve rounded up a bit of inspiration to try to convince you to consider red…

    I would and I even saw one the other day that was a darker shade of pink with the cutest decorative knocker but of course it would take the right house for that one. Red seems to go with a lot more. When we went to Greece the doors were all colors it was gorgeous.

    A red door is a great way to stand out and bring buyers in! We used crimson red by Behr for ours. The color is a real stunner!

#EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual T #EGPartner @vrbo recently published their Annual Travel Trend Report called Unpack ‘26 and it got me so excited about planning our next trip! 

One of my favorite trends? Farm Charm. In 2026, it’s all about slowing down and reconnecting - and farm stays are leading the way.​ Think nature walks, stargazing, and relaxing with friends and family. Vrbo highlights how travelers are trading city lights for starlit skies.

Guys!! It’s cozy season and the sheets you sleep on make such a big difference to how you feel as you run and jump into bed (or just glide in nonchalantly!) We love to get cozy with coffees, slow mornings, and cheesy rom coms… and of course, lots of books!

But these luxe sheets by @brooklinen also help us sleep better! They are very cooling and feel super silky! We chose the slate color and it’s so striking and warm! And the waffle weave blanket adds that extra layer of cozy! 

Check out their bundles and save even more! (Because you are going to want it all!) and you can mix and match the colors depending on your bedroom decor! Eekk! I’m soooo excited to get our cozy season started off just right! 

Comment COZY and I’ll send you the links to my faves! XxV
