HGTV's Hilary Farr Shares A Stunning Way To Modernize A Front Door
By LEAH THOMSEN
Hosting 19 TV seasons of HGTV’s "Love It or List It," Hilary Farr has demonstrated how an attractive exterior is crucial in creating a welcoming residence and boosting curb appeal.
In Season 19, Episode 5 of the show, Farr creates a compelling exterior entrance with a black exterior door accented by natural wood along the ceiling and sides of the portico.
For those ready to elevate their curb appeal, an exterior black door is a sophisticated modern design choice
that’s very on-trend with contemporary and transitional home designers.
Before incorporating a black exterior door, you'll want to consider whether this daring color fits well with your home's existing design to avoid a potential clash.
For modern farmhouses painted white or eggshell and homes with light exterior shades, a black door is ideal for creating symmetry and contrast.
Black doors will create a serious, modern tone when paired with a dark exterior. You can enrich and balance the look with natural wood accents such as wood beams or siding panels.
