Inspiration Scout

The front door really is the key focal point to the exterior of any house, so why not make a bold move and paint it an eye-catching color? Brightly painted doors like the purple one above are everywhere in France, and I absolutely adore the way they look, don't you? 

If you're looking for a cheap and easy way to give the exterior of your home a little facelift and add some instant curb appeal, painting your door is a great way to do it. I've put together 6 more fun and colorful inspirations below -- scroll through for a few ideas! 

This one belongs to designer Miles Redd and just might be the front door of my dreams. That ornate center knob and muted turquoise? So awesome. 

Pink! Would you dare? I think this home designed by architect Moises Esquenazi is rather amazing. It gives off a sort of desert oasis type feeling with the white walls and extra tall pink door. 

Confession: I am a sucker for Kelly green. It always looks so bright and happy that I can't help but love it on everything, including this front door. 

When I think of blue doors, I automatically think of Greece ... sigh ... Why not bring a little Santorini style home to your own front door with this bold blue hue? 

Red is probably the most versatile and widely used color for entryways because it looks amazing with just about any color and style of exterior. Red door on a white house with black trim? Classic. 

Say yes to yellow! You might think it pretty brash to paint your front door yellow, but see how happy and fun it looks in contrast to the old and serious stone and brick facade of this home?

So what do you think? Ready to bust out your paintbrushes and get started, or are these doors a little too bright for you?
