ASK KATHRYN about Front Doors Painted Red.
Melissa’s Red Door commands attention, yet secures privacy.
Q: Is it true that I should paint my front door red for good luck?
A: That depends what your intention is for the front door and your family. Painting your front door a red colour will certainly attract attention to your home, right out to the curb. It is important for others to find your home: helpful people, trades or emergency persons, as well as pizza delivery. Red is a lucky colour in Chinese culture and represents fire, fame and attention.
A red door is very auspicious facing most directions, but if your door is facing south, you may choose NOT to paint the door red.
When facing south, this direction of the door expands this hot element. Instead of magnifying more red, choose a progressive colour from another element; perhaps earth tones in blues and greens or even rust or warm caramel colours to calm down the heat.
Choosing a ‘cool tone’ may work in the intense heat in certain areas, yet, facing north in northern areas, you may find it too cold and not as welcoming as you wish. Choosing a colour that will specifically ‘work for you’ requires insight into the outcome.
I hope this helps. A front door is personal and it DOES make a statement for the entrance of your home!
