Which Composite Door Colours Suit Each Type of Home?

Generally speaking, you can quickly narrow down your choice of colour options, based on the style of your property. 

Our general guidance for colours based on house style are as follows: 

• Period Properties – Choose traditional tones, which align with the classic character of your house. These include black, deep red, dark blue and sage green. 
• Terraced Houses – You could bring some personality and playfulness to set your property apart, with bright colours like turquoise, blue, yellow or green. 
• Country Homes – Coordinate your property’s design with its natural surroundings, with greens, soft pastels, or natural wood stains. 
• Contemporary Homes – Further enhance the modern style of your property, with neutral colours like grey, steel or black. 
• White or Rendered Homes – Bring a pop of colour to your property, with a door that features a strong contrasting colour. Options can include navy, bright yellow or lime green. 
• Red Brick Houses – Use colour theory to find a colour that sits opposite red on the colour wheel, as these will best complement the colour of your house. These are blues and greens. 
• Coastal Properties – Choosing shades of blues or greens is a great way to emulate your property’s surroundings. 

By using widely circulated tropes like colour theory (the emotional reaction that certain colours can evoke), or the colour wheel (a map of which colours complement or clash with each other), you can get a better understanding of what colours to rule out, and which to lean towards. This is a great, objective way to help you make your decision. 

Final tips

Before you start your search, here are a few final design tips from our specialists: 

• Try to avoid choosing colours based on trends, which are only temporarily in fashion 
• Be careful with bright colours (e.g. neon shades), as these can be too clashing, or not appeal to many people (and therefore impact your property’s value) 
• Make sure you consider all parts of your property, including the brickwork, window frames, roof, and other architectural elements. 
• Work with a trusted composite door supplier, like Zap Garage Doors, to get expert advice, and ensure you have access to a broad range of premium quality colour options.
