How to Decorate Front Doors With Blue Paint

Paint blue onto the door. If you want to keep your door its original color but add some blue to it, try stencils. Place the stencil over the area you want to decorate, paint over the stencil and then carefully lift the stencil off.

Paint the door blue. For eye-catching color, paint the entire door blue. Consider the style of your home in choosing a shade of blue. Darker blues are more traditional, while brighter colors are more contemporary.
Painting the door is simple enough but could require a bit of preparation. If the door is in good condition and the paint is white, a coat or two of blue paint, depending on the paint, is often all that is necessary. If there is a gloss to the door or it is stained, a light sanding will help the paint adhere. Should the door be unevenly painted or painted in more than one color, it is usually best to strip off the old paint before starting. If you have decided to replace the door, a coat of primer on a new door will help the blue paint dry evenly.

Decorate the door. The traditional colors that pair with blue are white and silver. Consider a white wreath or a basket filled with white flowers. For show-stopping color that is contemporary and bold, use bright red accessories and flowers.

Replace the hardware. New doorknobs can add a great finishing touch to your front door. While silver-toned and white doorknobs are traditional, your color choices are unlimited. Consider light blue hardware with a dark door or dark blue hardware with a light door.
