A steel door in any colour: what are the options?

Thinking about adding a steel door to your home or office? Then you’ll need to make many decisions — from panel layout to door handle. One of the most important is the colour of the door. And when it comes to colour, your options are virtually limitless.
Choosing the right colour for a steel door can have a big impact on the overall look of your interior. It’s a common topic of discussion in our showroom. That’s why this article offers four tips on selecting the perfect colour — followed by a range of colour options to inspire you.
This article was first published in 2016 and is regularly updated with the latest trends and insights.
Tips for choosing the perfect steel door colour
- Look at the colours in your home, or the colours you plan to use after a renovation. A steel door can be chosen to match your interior (e.g. dark brown to complement a dark worktop) or to create a statement (e.g. a gold door in a neutral setting).
- Match it to your home’s style: industrial, modern, or rustic/classic? Dark matte colours like black and grey suit industrial styles. Crisp light shades like white or light grey, and rich hues like bronze or gold, work well in modern homes. Warm colours like bronze or dark brown create a more traditional or rustic atmosphere.
- Choose the right finish. A matte finish offers a subtle look, while a glossy finish makes a bold statement. We also offer special finishes like our Royor coatings, which provide a vivid metallic look in copper or bronze, with options for a striped or brushed effect.
- Use colour samples or mock-ups before making a final decision. It’s important to see how the colour looks under different lighting conditions in your home. Visiting our showroom? Bring samples of your interior — we’ll help find the perfect match.
- Stick with your own style. Trends are great, but always choose what suits you personally. A steel door is a long-term investment — choose a colour that you’ll love for years to come.
