When consumers opt to purchase a new door they are thinking about three factors: energy saving costs, security and the kerb appeal of their home. New research conducted by premium window and door designer, The Residence Collection has unveiled what Brits’ front door colours are today and what trends are on the rise in the future1.
The most popular front door colours currently installed in British homes are:
1. White (36%)
2. Brown (18%)
3. Black (10%)
4. Grey (8%)
5. Blue (8%)
As the universal colour for cleanliness, it’s unsurprising that almost two in five Brits currently have a white front door. However, the survey data also revealed what colour front door Brits would choose if they had the opportunity to install a new one.
The top five colours included:
1. Black (15%)
2. Blue (14%)
3. White (13%)
4. Grey (11%)
5. Green (10%)
While white was still a popular choice for people choosing a new front door colour, more than four in five Brits (87%) wouldn’t choose it if they had the chance. Black and Blue were keen favourites that The Residence Collection predicts will grow in popularity as Brits start to embrace home improvements in the New Year.
Generational trends also reveal distinct tastes: over 30% of Boomers favour grey doors for their versatility and inviting appeal, while 29% of Millennials lean towards the classic simplicity and clean look of traditional white doors.
Jo Trotman, Marketing Manager of The Residence Collection, said: “It’s always interesting to see what consumers are interested in when surveying what they currently have in their home and what they would choose given the option.
“The survey confirms sleek, sophisticated and clean colours will always be important to consumers when choosing a new front door, but white may not be the first choice as a desire for black and blue doors increases.
“The Residence Collection has a variety of windows and doors in exclusive colour combinations, and we hope this new data gives installers insight into what growing colour trends we could see in 2025.”
