Dark colours have been leading exterior design trends for more than a decade - and they’re showing no signs of disappearing.
Black, deep navy blue, Iron Ore and Commercial Brown remain some of the most popular choices for modern entry doors. And there is a good reason for that: darker colours create contrast, add depth and make the entrance look more defined and substantial.
Against traditional brick, a dark door can completely transform the front of a home. It highlights the architectural lines, complements dark hardware and creates a strong focal point without requiring major changes to the rest of the exterior.
Black delivers a bold, modern look.
Deep navy adds colour while remaining elegant and understated.
Iron Ore offers a softer alternative to pure black.
Commercial Brown brings warmth and works especially well with brick, stone and traditional architecture.
The right dark shade doesn’t overpower the house — it brings the entire exterior together. That is why these colours have remained popular for so long: they feel current, but they don’t quickly become dated.
This custom double entrance is a perfect example. The rich navy finish creates beautiful contrast with the brick, while the large decorative glass panels keep the entrance bright, balanced and welcoming.
Trends may change, but a thoughtfully designed dark entrance has lasting curb appeal.
