Northolt, Middlesex ( prsafe ) July 30, 2012 - Todd Doors believes that your front door should not just be the entry point of your home. It should also show-off the personality of your home, whether that may be formal, simple, or colourful.

Recent research by Debbie Zimmer from the Paint Quality Institute believes that the colour that you have chosen to paint your external doors can accurately reflect your personality.

So if your front door is a lovely shade of blue, this shows that you see your home as a place of safety and refuge. Interestingly, blue is also the most popular colour to paint a front door. Red, on the other hand, indicates that a home is powerful and exciting.

For those that value health, safety, tranquillity, and harmony, you should paint your door green, while a black front door projects strength sophistication, power and authority. According to Zimmer, brown is an interesting shade for a front door, as a lighter tone conveys warmth and stability, while a darker tone signals a desire for privacy.

As well as reflecting your personality, Todd Doors also believes that your front door should also add "curb appeal" to your home. The most effective way to do that is to ensure that your door matches the architectural details of your home. For instance, if you have a craftsman, Victorian, or contemporary style home, make sure that you choose a door that is of the same style of period.

You should also update your door's handle and deadbolt set with a modern and sophisticated option. Not only will it be a great visual improvement, but it will also be a practical enhancement, as you will no longer have to struggle with a rusty keyhole.

While you are replacing your front door, you may also want to look into replacing your doorbell, light fixtures, and even your door kick plates. Finally, be sure to clear out all cobwebs on the front porch.
