There isn’t an interior color expert worth their salt that doesn’t extoll the virtues of a colorful and arresting front door. Look around and you’ll find front door color which run the gamut from the classic (red, black) to the arcane or whimsical (turquoise, acid yellow, chartreuse). But rarely do we hear about adding color to the front door’s interior side. Most often you’ll find the inside of the front door in wood stain which matches its exterior or find it painted white.  While I would never criticize the use of white in a home’s entranceway; it can never offend and is so crisp and clean, one is really missing out on a great opportunity by going that route. Many people keep white as the entranceway/foyer wall color and don’t even realize what an amazing difference adding color to the door’s interior side would bring. One doesn’t even need to have an architecturally “significant” door. The color will do the job of adding the pizazz!! And here’s a tip…use exterior paint for the front door interior. It gets a lot of abuse subjected to the elements all year long as you open and close it.
