What does the color of your front door say about you?
Believe it or not, this is a question that has been studied by psychologists. They have found that the color of your front door can actually reveal quite a bit about your personality. In this blog post, we will discuss the psychology of front door colors and what they say about you!
Every front door color leaves a first impression, and here's some insight into what each color conveys:
Blue for your front door is a peaceful, calming color. The darker you go, the more it represents intelligence, power, and stability.
A darker blue front door color, like navy or midnight blue, showcases your grounded side - you’re trustworthy and dedicated to your values.
Choose a light blue for your front door, like powder blue or sky blue, and people may see you as someone who’s relaxed, hopeful, and positive. You enjoy the simple things in life and do not like to make too much of a fuss. You are probably someone who is very reliable and down-to-earth.
This Navy/Light Blue & Seafoam front door mat is perfect for your blissfully blue entrance.
Choosing a brown front door color means you’re very down-to-earth and practical, and a reliable friend.
You like things to be neat and tidy, and you probably have a very strong work ethic. A light brown shade creates a feeling of warmth while dark brown can exude strength.
The best front door mats can create layers of warmth - try pairing your brown door with a Solid Dark Tan nautical rope doormat or a Brown with 2 Light Tan Stripes front door mat.
