Fall is the perfect time to give your home’s exterior a mini-makeover before winter settles in. One of the easiest ways to brighten up your home and boost its curb appeal is by updating your front door and shutters with fresh, eye-catching combinations.

Bold door with neutral shutters: A vibrant front door paired with neutral shutters can add an elegant yet striking contrast to your home’s facade. Rich shades like Cloverdale Paint’s deep burgundy Unmatched Beauty (1110, ColourIs Collection), dark blue Deep Water (CA203, Artisan Collection) or dark green Hemlock (CA180, Artisan Collection) can make your door the focal point, while warm taupe or muted gray shutters ground the look. It’s a great way to welcome guests with a bold pop of colour, while keeping the overall exterior polished and cohesive.

Earthy, harmonious tones: If you prefer a more understated and natural look, earthy tones like Western Juniper (CA186, Artisan Collection) or a soft olive green like Lucky Day (0428 ColourIs Collection), for both your door and shutters, can create a sense of harmony. These colours blend beautifully with fall foliage and spring shoots, working well across the seasons. Paired with natural elements like wooden accents or stone pathways, you’ll create a timeless look that enhances your home’s surroundings.

Classic dark shutters with a light door: For a crisp, classic look, consider a light-coloured door like Honey Cream (0916) or off-white Dove’s Wing (0537) paired with dark shutters in shades like the dark blue-gray Into The Stratosphere (0627) or a forest green. This combination adds sophistication and charm while giving your home a stately appearance that feels welcoming.
