Your front door is the first thing people see when they visit your home. Its colour can set the mood, make a house feel welcoming, or even show a bit of your personality.
At BSF Windows, we know that it’s important that homeowners feel proud of their front door. That’s why we offer uPVC, aluminium, timber, and composite doors in a huge range of colours and finishes, from authentic woodgrain effects to standout shades of green.
We know that choosing from a myriad of options can be tricky, so this blog is designed to help.
We’ve put together this guide helping you to explore the best front door colours in the UK. We’ll take a look at popular shades, current trends, and ideas to suit different property types.
uPVC door colours
uPVC doors are a popular choice across the UK thanks to their durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency. Long gone are the days when uPVC meant plain white, at BSF Windows we’re proud to offer a vast array of colours, including classic neutrals, bold shades, and woodgrain effects, perfect for traditional or contemporary homes.
Woodgrain effects
Woodgrain uPVC doors bring the look of timber without the upkeep. Popular options include silvered oak, English oak, and Irish oak. These finishes suit period homes beautifully, offering timeless appeal while remaining hardwearing and easy to clean.
Darker shades
Darker uPVC shades like anthracite grey, black brown, and slate grey are increasingly popular. These colours create striking contrast against lighter brickwork or render, giving your property a modern edge and a great first impression.
Aluminium door colours
Aluminium doors combine contemporary design with strength and energy efficiency. A lightweight but robust metal, aluminium makes it easy to achieve sleek lines and large glazed panels, ideal for modern properties.
Anthracite grey
Anthracite grey is a favourite for modern homes. Its smooth tone works well with minimalist aesthetics while standing out as a bold front door colour. It suits everything from new builds to urban terraces.
Bespoke RAL colours
Aluminium doors are perfect for customisation. The reflective surface allows vibrant, standout colours such as red, blue, or other bright minimalist tones. Choosing a bespoke RAL colour gives your home individuality and creates a true statement piece.
Composite door colours
Composite doors have a thermally efficient core and a weather-resistant outer skin, combining the benefits of multiple materials. They offer durability, low maintenance, and energy efficiency, making them a practical and stylish choice.
Contemporary woodgrain effects
Modern composite doors mimic timber with options like midnight grey, schwarzbraun, French grey, and chartwell green. These shades suit contemporary homes looking for a bold yet sophisticated entrance.
Traditional woodgrains
For a classic look, composite doors in golden sand, Irish oak, golden oak, and oak provide a warm, inviting entrance. They retain the charm of timber while offering improved insulation and resilience against warping or fading.
Timber door colours
Timber doors remain a timeless choice. They offer natural beauty and strength and can last decades when properly maintained. They are ideal for traditional homes or anyone seeking a warm, authentic entrance.
Cream
Soft cream shades add subtle charm and a welcoming atmosphere to country homes. Paired with gold hardware, these doors complement neutral tones and period architecture.
Bespoke RAL
Timber doors also allow bespoke colour options. A personalised RAL shade ensures your door reflects your personal style and matches your home’s exterior perfectly, whether a soft green or a striking dark blue.
Special consideration – glazing options
Glazing can dramatically alter your front door’s appearance. You can choose transparent glass for natural light or decorative glazing for privacy. Some popular decorative styles include:
- Minster
- Mayflower
- Everglade
- Digital
- Contora
- Charcoal
- Chantilly
- Taffeta
- Stippolyte
- Pelerine
The right glazing complements your door colour and architectural style while allowing light to flow naturally into your entrance hall.
