Coral Painted Front Doors

DIY· Home Decor· Home Improvement· Kelli's Home· Outdoor Decor

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.

  1. Prep the doors by washing them with warm soapy water and let dry completely.
  2. Tape off around door handles and/or windows.
  3. Using an angled brush, paint any crevices first.
  4. Then, roll over other flat areas of the door with a paint roller.
  5. Add second coat if needed.
  6. If your door is exposed to the elements, be sure to seal with a clear polyurethane!
  7. 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? 😉

    I wish they sold a navy blue. The hampton blue is too bright for what I’m looking for on our front door.

    Love the coral and turquoise! We were thinking of painting our house the same color scheme and I was wondering if you could tell me what the actual paint/name of the turquoise is? The colors are so beautiful together but it could be disastrous with the wrong shades… Your home looks beautiful!

      Hi Andrea. We don’t have a paint color because it was a color match to an old bench, darn! The paint code is 417152525780, I had it mixed at Home Depot via Glidden Paint. Hope that helps! XO

    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

      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!

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!

    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.

            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
