A colourful timber front door can benefit your home in more ways than you might think. As well as improving the appearance of your home, and its outward aesthetic, the right choice of colour can even improve the emotional wellbeing of your family.
The appearance of a timber front door is so important when it comes to creating a particular impression. As the main focal point that passersby and visitors will focus on as they approach your house, timber front doors are responsible for creating a decent and lasting first impression.

Colour psychology is a school of thought that suggests the colours which you use to paint your home can have a profound impact on the emotional wellbeing of you and your family. An unspoken language that we all speak without even knowing it, the symbolic meanings of colour are understood by us on a daily basis. For instance, we know to go at traffic lights when we see green. Colour psychology suggests that certain hues will promote particular emotional reactions or responses.
With this in mind, if you want to get your home a feeling of energy and promote movement choose a fiery red or hot orange. On the other hand, if you want to make your home seem more relaxed choose a gentle blue or a deep green.
