What front door colour adds the most value to a home?
Your front door, most likely the first thing a potential buyer will notice when viewing your home; it is the centre of your kerb appeal and, therefore, it needs to grab attention. But does the colour of your front door really make a difference? According to a new study by Safestyle, the leading window and door retailer, it does: their findings suggest that a property with a certain colour front door could sell 36% higher then the average national sale price. Let’s countdown the top five.
Honourable Mention
Even though it didn’t make the top 5 - with the world going crazy for Barbie, perhaps Pink will take the top spot next year?
FIFTH
5. White
White UPVC has been a popular choice for many years due to its durability, low maintenance, and ability to complement a variety of architectural styles.
FOURTH
4. Blue
Blue front doors can create a striking and welcoming entrance to a home, with shades ranging from calming pastels to bold and vibrant hues.
THIRD
3. Black
Black is in third place, with Safestyle stating that homes with this colour front door sell at 11% more than the average UK house price.
SECOND
2. Grey
In second place is grey, which is in complete contrast to the colour in the top spot.
FIRST
1. Red
It may be surprising to learn that the top colour adding the greatest value to your home is red. This is because it is striking and bold as well as being elegant.
Although this is all great in theory, it is essential that you ensure the colour you choose defines and complements not only your home but also those around you - and doesn’t break any covenants.
