FYI, each of the ideas that we will share with you here has uniqueness, so read everything carefully.

1. Teal Blue Beach-Style House with Blood Red Door

This one is the first stunning blue house that we want you to take a look at. The blue shade used in this home exterior wall is teal. And the red tone of the door you can see in the pic is blood shade.

The use of teal blue color is an excellent choice for the beach-style brought in the design. It even goes well with the blue sky that becomes the background of this photo.

The beach-style design gets even better because there are many exterior elements colored in white here. Those include the trims, windows, columns, and porch railing.

For the red door, the white trim has a function as something highlighting. It makes the door more prominent in the home exterior design. On the other hand, it also creates a smooth transition from the red tone to the house’s blue color.

2. Timeless Denim Blue House with Ruby Red Door

If the look that you want to create more is something that is more on the traditional and timeless side, you can try to choose a darker shade of blue. An example is available in the house picture above.

The wall siding of this traditional house is in denim blue color. The main entrance, on the other hand, is in a ruby red tone.

Although both of them belong to different color categories, there is a similarity that connects them. Both of them are darker shades. This fact creates an elegant feel in the entire exterior design.

In this design, white color also exists. More or less, the function of this is quite the same as the one that we have explained in idea number 1.

If you want to, you can also use the white trim to beautify the red door design. The way shown in the picture is the addition of sidelights with pretty trellis on the inner side.

3. Stone Blue House with Candy Red Door for a Festive Atmosphere

Do you have a blue house? Do you want to add festive decorations to it, such as when you are welcoming the holiday season?

If you answer both questions above with yes, you must look at the photo above as a source of inspiration. FYI, the type of blue shade used in this home exterior is called stone blue. As for the red tone of the door is candy red.

Yes, the basic idea to create the festive atmosphere is by pairing the blue house with a bright red door. The final result can be even more amazing if the blue type you use on the home exterior is a muted blue.

A muted blue creates a relaxing feeling. When you pair it with a bright red tone, you can see a stylish visual that is still easy on the eyes. That is the primary reason why we recommend you to try the idea.

As a suggestion, you should not forget to add festive decorations near the entrance too. Some examples shown in the picture are wreath on the door and red bows to decorate the potted-plants.

4. Stone Blue House with Berry Red Door for a Classic Look

Here is another inspiration you can follow to create a classic and timeless exterior home design. The main idea is to pair a muted blue wall and a red door.

In this design example, the type of muted blue used is the same as the one used in the previous idea, which is stone blue. And the door you see in the picture is in berry red color. From the

information that we know, the paint color used here is Sherwin Williams SW 7588 Show Stopper.

An interesting thing that we find from this idea is related to the use of different wall material for the first and second floors. As shown clearly in the picture above, the lower wall is from brick, and the upper wall is from siding material. Interestingly, the stone blue color can create a uniform look to connect both of them excellently.

Another thing we love from this design is the existence of the black window shutters. They add boldness to the design.

5. Blue House and Red Door for a Patriotic Feel

The combination of a blue house and a red door is also suitable for building a patriotic feel. In this case, we are talking specifically about American culture, okay?

As we all know, the American flag consists of three colors: blue, red, and white. It is reasonable then if the type of design we talk about here suits the theme quite the most.

However, when you want to color the home exterior to create a patriotic look, it does not mean that you must choose the exact same shades as found on the flag. You can still select something without ruining the theme.

For example, the house shown in the picture has a stone blue wall siding and a red front door. For perfection, there is an American flag hung on one of the columns.

6. Blue House with Red Door and Red Accessories

When you use a blue wall and red door in your home exterior design, it does not mean that you can use the red tone in the entrance design only. You can use it somewhere else, such as in the accessories you use to complete the house.

In the picture of a small blue house above, the red tone does not only appear on the door. A highly similar tone is also seen in the mailbox located right next to the front entrance.

We suggest that if you want the house to gain a cool and relaxing look from the blue tone, you need to make sure that the red hue does not dominate the space or steal the most attention there.

You can place a red mailbox or complete the windows with red shutters in this case.
If you do so, the blue tone will still be the most dominant in the exterior design. This way, the house will always look cool and relaxing.

7. Darker Blue House with Burgundy Red Door for an Elegant Look

If you want to create an elegant look, you can choose darker shades instead of the bright ones. An excellent example is available in the picture above.

It shows a blue house that stands side by side with a whitewashed house. The blue tone that you see here is a darker shade called cobalt blue.

As for the front door, it is also a dark shade of red known as burgundy. The purple undertone it has seems to boost the elegance even better. It even gives the door a luxurious touch.

About the compatibility of this color and the blue tone of the house, there is no need to question it anymore. As you can see in the picture, both colors look good together, right?

To avoid the design from looking dull, you can follow the idea shown in the pic. It is to include white trim in the design. It can even be something to highlight the door and makes it more prominent.

8. Grey-Like Blue House with Red Door

Some shades of blue have a greyish appearance. Something like this can be an excellent option to pick if you like both blue and grey at the same time.

One of the most popular greyish blue tones you can use is slate, as shown in the picture of a small house above. As a match, you can see there is a crimson red door.

The scheme chosen for this house is so attractive. The trim color chosen here is stone blue. This tone is not only a good match for the slate wall siding but also for the grey roof. It can be a unique alternative to white exterior trim.

9. Blue Home Exterior Design with Blue Trim and Red Door

Here is another example of a blue house that does not use white for the trim color. In this home design, the trim has the same tone as the wall siding, teal blue. Even the wall planter in front of each window here also has the same color.

In this exterior design, the existence of the crimson red door and mailbox plays a quite important role. It gives a warm contrast that makes the design even more attractive. It can also erase the dull look if the entire house is colored in teal blue.

Particularly for the home design, you can see in the picture; there is one more thing that we love. It is none other but the red decorations, which makes it clear that the homeowner decorated it to get ready for Christmas.

10. Blue House with Darker Blue Trim and Red Door

We will still talk about the use of unique trim in a blue home with a red door design. This time we will see the combination of a lighter blue house with darker blue trim, as shown in the picture above.

This house looks gorgeous with its stone blue scallop siding. The detail that enhances the beauty even better is the denim blue trim that mainly decorates the window.

The contrast look between the trim and the wall siding creates a stunning look. It becomes a good match for the white window in the home design.

The blood-red door in the exterior design of this house is another attractive detail you should not miss. The red tone is not only applied to the main entrance in the first story. As you can see, the door on the second floor is also in the same tone, which means the designer tried to keep the design’s coordinating value.

11. Beautiful and Cozy Exterior with Stone Blue Wall, Beige Trim, and Bright Red Door

If you want to, you can also create a cozy visual that can also result in an inviting feel in your home exterior design by combining the blue house and red front door with warm-toned trim. An excellent example that we found is beige, as shown in the picture of a Tudor cottage above.

This beige trim does not only frame the white windows and the red door but also highlighting them excellently. It even erases the cold impression resulted from the use of the stone blue paint for the wall.

Particularly for the combination between this beige trim and the bright red door, it creates a compatible look. The reason behind this is none other but the fact that both colors belong to the warm category.

12. Standout Blue Brick House with Red Dutch Door

The blue house and red door idea is something you can use to create a standout appearance in your brick home exterior. If you need an example, the house shown in the picture is the one you must look at.

The way the exterior design of this house is decorated show the farmhouse style applied to it. The blue paint, the white color from the trim, windows, and the wall planter make the farmhouse feel even more influential in the outside of this house.

We also love the red front door. It is not only about the berry red color but also because of the Dutch-style that is just perfect for any farmhouse design.

13. Bold and Elegant Dark Blue House with Red Door and Black Shutters

The last but not least stunning idea that we want you to know is available in the picture of a traditional house above. As you can see, the home exterior design is dominated by a dark blue shade that we can call as a spruce blue.

The dark tone of the exterior wall is actually enough to make this house looks bold. Although so, you can see that there are at least two additional tones added to make the appearance bold but also elegant at the same time.

The first color is none other but the beautiful rose-red color of the front door. It matches the elegant facade. The next color is the black tone of the window shutters that boost the exterior design’s boldness to the next level.
