Smitten: My New Turquoise Door

Smitten: My New Turquoise Door

This post was most recently updated on September 23rd, 2019


Have you ever thought about painting a door in your home a favorite colour?

We just replaced the entrance to our now-nearly-complete basement with a new frosted glass door; and instead of painting it white like all the colonial-style doors in my home, I decided to give this one a little personality of its own!

I chose a shade of turquoise (of course!).  This door is in our open-concept kitchen/living room area, so it matches all my turquoise-inspired accents – like my drapery and backsplash.

I am totally smitten.  The colour is Benjamin Moore Arctic Blue (2050-60).  LOVE it. I considered a whole range of colours in this family before settling on this one.  It’s a really soft shade of robin’s egg blue that is easy on the eyes and very soothing.  It makes me smile.

Here’s how it looks in the context of some accessories:


 

So, if you’ve been considering painting a door in your home a great colour, my advice would be don’t hesitate another second!

Until next time, happy decorating!

    I love your wall colour! It looks like a warm sage green. Could you please tell me the colour? Thank you!

      Thanks! That wall color (which has since be re-painted) was SICO’s Kalahari Beige. I think SICO is a Canadian brand, but you may be able to have it color-matched. It is a great color. ~Kerri

      Thanks Miriam! We found the door at Home Depot, and then had it sprayed that color (Arctic Blue from Benjamin Moore). It adds a really happy pop of color! Hope you’ll come by again! ~Kerri

    Love the color! Do you think it'd be too much in small dining room on all 4 walls? I have a black hutch and credenza. I'm running out tomorrow to pick up a sample.
