Coral Painted Front Doors? yes please! Cheer up your doors with this gorgeous hue that screams HI! to welcome you home. Get the low down on how they went from yellow to coral and everything you’ll need to paint your own this fun hue!
Coral Painted Front Doors
You guys! We’ve been waiting to post these fun cheery coral painted front doors since the winter! Aren’t they PERFECT for summer!? Such a fun color and compliments my gray and white striped porch concrete so well! I love how these turned out.
I miss my mustard yellow sometimes, it’s always been my favorite color. Here they are all decked out in Valentine’s Day decor… I guess I have a thing for pink, too!
door & SHUTTER PAINT
Can you believe I only used 1/2 of this bottle to paint both doors? Most of the doors only required one coat, busy mom win! This formula is specifically made for doors and shutters so the usual prep (sanding and/or priming) is omitted, which is a win-win for fellow lazy painters who also dread prep work! 😉 The ONLY prep I did to paint my front doors was wipe them down and tape off the little windows inside but if you have 30 extra minutes then we highly recommend liquid masking tape, it’s a game changer!
supplies needed to Paint Front Doors
If you’re a newer painter, here’s what we recommend to paint you own front door(s):
- Curb Appeal door + shutter paint (this color is Contemporary Coral)
- Angled Hand Paint Brush
- Mini Paint Roller + Tray
- Painters Tape or Liquid Masking Tape
A full list of our favorited tried and true painting tools can be found here. 🙂
How to Paint Front Doors
We took a poll on Instagram to see if we should keep the doors two different colors…haha! Only one of you voted YES 😉 Anyway, paint these doors was a cinch and I let the paint do all of the work for me! No, I didn’t take them off the hinges, no I didn’t spray them, yes, I simply painted with a small hand brush.
- Prep the doors by washing them with warm soapy water and let dry completely.
- Tape off around door handles and/or windows.
- Using an angled brush, paint any crevices first.
- Then, roll over other flat areas of the door with a paint roller.
- Add second coat if needed.
- If your door is exposed to the elements, be sure to seal with a clear polyurethane!
- Let dry completely and enjoy!
Truly easy and I adore the after color! So fun and vibrant on our old little farmhouse. Loving the bright colors! Curb Appeal has amazing coverage and how satisfying is peeling off tape? 😉
 We have used DecoArt‘s paint on a TON of projects and are so happy they’ve been extending their craft paint line into so much more. Their chalky paint is one of our go-to’s as well!
Ta-Da! Here she is all dressed up and ready for the ball!
PLEASE PIN if you’re not ready to take the plunge quite yet to save this for when you are!
Tell us: would YOU be so bold as you to paint your front doors coral? If not, which color would YOU choose from Curb Appeal’s new line?

I love this coral; it’s just what my front door needs. I just want to check- no brush marks when dry?
Lolly Jane says
Hi Julie! No brush strokes 🙂 Happy painting!
Maria says
I stumbled upon this when I was trying to figure out what color to paint my new front door…..I found it, Contemporary Coral 🙂 Love it, I hope mine looks as good as yours does!
Lolly Jane says
Thanks, Maria! xo
Anna Harris says
I have a question when you paint the front door do both sides interior and exterior do they need to be the same color weird question I know
Lolly Jane says
Not weird at all! Our have been different colors indoor and outdoor for the past few years. We recently painted them the same color. Do what feels right for you!
Maura says
Love, love, love your colors! What color paint did you use for the brick? Absolutely gorgeous!!
Lolly Jane says
Thank you, Maura!! The paint code is 417152525780 and I had it mixed at Home Depot via Glidden Paint 🙂
Ivory says
Oh what a lovely, lovely, lovely front porch. I love your new painted door, and all the other beautiful changes you made there. Thanks for sharing.
Lolly Jane says
Thank you!! I love these doors 😀
Iris Nacole says
Beautiful color, and I’m amazed at the little amount of product that you had to use! I’m trying to fit painting our back porch door and balcony door into my schedule this summer, and I think I’ll be looking at these paints as an option for sure! Thank for sharing this with us at The Creative Circle Link Party!
AnnMarie says
Gorgeous color! I have to remember this new paint for my next project. I dread prep work too so this works for me!
Lolly Jane says
Amen, sister! Prep work is the worst! Who has time for that!?
Chastity says
If my HOA would allow it, I’d paint my front door coral in a heartbeat. But they won’t, instead, I painted my 4-year-old’s room a shade of coral. It always makes me happy walking in there.
Lolly Jane says
Oh yay!! How FUN! Coral is such an uplifting color 😀
Ann says
Your coral doors are gorgeous! I absolutely LOVE them!
Lolly Jane says
Thank you so much, Ann!! XO

We have been using DecoArt for ages and are obsessed with this newest product as it covers so quick- a win in our book as we are lazy crafters. 😉 Ha! Happy painting! We looooove aqua!

I love the coral doors! But I want to know what color you used on your house! Love, love, love it! So fresh and clean!
Lolly Jane says
Thanks Erin 🙂

Jeannine says
Just tried to get the paint at Home Depot and they could get the
Paint with that code! Do you have any other info on it? They said that may have been the bar code and not the paint color!
Lolly Jane says
Hi Jeannine, I went to Glidden’s website and color matched a photo. The closest color I found is called MISTY SURF and the code is PPG1034-4. I’m so flattered you like my custom house color, thanks! 🙂
Mary says
Love the color of your house but HomeDepot looked and looked but couldn’t find the color with the numbers you posted! Do you have any other Numbers or a name?
Lolly Jane says
Hi Jeannine, I went to Glidden’s website and color matched a photo. The closest color I found is called MISTY SURF and the code is PPG1034-4. I’m so flattered you like my custom house color, thanks! 🙂

Lolly Jane says
Thanks, Miss Jann! XO
Mary says
I loved your yellow doors so much (Mine is yellow too), but I really love the coral as well! I am pinning this for when I get tired of my yellow door!
Lolly Jane says
Oh how fun! I missed my yeller a lot, but paint is a fast fix and I’ll probably go back to it one day 😉
Leanna says
The coral colour is beautiful and different. I know the mustard is a favorite, but the coral is such a warm tone. Its really nice.
Lolly Jane says
Thank you so much! I miss that mustard so much some days! Good thing it’s just paint 😉
Carol ("Mimi") says
Yes. You really nailed it on the new door color! I love how the coral looks against the color of your brick. The wreaths are so pretty and complementary, too. Great job!
Lolly Jane says
Thank you, Mimi!! We love how bright it is from the street!
Tisa says
What color is the brick? I love this combination!
Lolly Jane says
Hi Tisa, thank you! We had it color matched to an old bench we loved: the paint code is 417152525780 and I had it mixed at Home Depot via Glidden Paint 🙂
Tammy E McDougal says
I Instagram you about the brick color then I found this. Called home Depot and they said that they could not find the paint color off of this code. That they needed the paint cir name with the letters attached to that(ex. sc). Do u have any other info that might help us to find the paint name? Thank you
Lolly Jane says
Hi Tammy, it was a custom match, I’m so sorry!!
creativejewishmom/sara says
