Are you in search of the perfect paint color for your front door and need a little inspiration? Here’s a collection of classic & beautiful homes with front doors painted black that are sure to inspire!
A few weeks ago I finally brought of the paint brush and roller and painted the front door. It’s only been on my to-do list for a year. Last year year we had our house painted or the trim and shutters at least. At that time our front door was a pale blue/green and I kinda liked the look of it paired with our freshly painted black shutters. Over the course of a few months I slowly started to dislike the light color door. It just seemed to disappear and looked washed out in comparison to the dark shutters. I knew that painting the door in the same rich black color would give our house a more classic look and a nice pop of color.
After searching Pinterest for homes with black front doors just to make sure I was on the right track, I found so many beautiful and charming homes. I knew it was the right decision. I’m so glad I decided to go for it because I couldn’t be happier with it! I love the stately look and the rich color against the light trim. Not to mention the weather is pretty perfect currently for all of those outdoor projects. I added the icing to the cake when I found this pretty fall wreath while strolling Homegoods a few days later. For only $25 it’s nice and full and I loved the moody colors.
We chose a color called Tricorn Black by Sherwin Williams. It is also the color we used on the shutters. It’s a deep and rich black that has just the tiniest bit of a navy undertone. It’s a great classic black!
Since this isn’t a how to paint a front door tutorial, you can find my how-to for that here, this would be a short post but I wanted to share a few of the charming homes that I came across while scrolling Pinterest. If these done’t inspire your curb appeal I don’t know what will!
Each one of these homes has a beautiful, classic exterior and they’re all rocking a classic black front door.

They’re all so regal and welcoming! If you’ve been on the fence when it comes to an exterior door color I hope this post has helped you select a color or maybe just rule one out. I’ve become quite partial to a black front door but there are a number of beautiful colors to choose. I hope you’re having a wonderful fall friends!
These homes are all beautiful! I love how classic and elegant the black doors are too. Pinning! Hugs, CoCo
