Answer

Size comes before shape. Shape comes before colour. Colour comes before material.

big black wooden door

big square wooden door

square black wooden door

or even

lovely big black wooden door

Generally, the most essential feature is mentioned last, and closest to the noun. This is often the material, such as wooden. The most objective adjective, such as lovely, comes first, and furthest from the noun.
