A Front Door Colour That Works With the Brick You Already Have
The fastest visible improvement to any house, and the one most often chosen from a colour chart indoors. How to pick against what is already there.
Curb appeal is the only design work in your house that is aimed entirely at other people, which makes it easy to dismiss and expensive to ignore. It is also the fastest visible improvement available — a front door, the light beside it and two well-chosen planters will change the whole face of a house in an afternoon.
This section covers the front of the house as a composition: door colour that works with the brick or render you already have, house numbers that can be read from a car, porch furniture at a scale the porch can carry, and lighting that flatters rather than floods. Seasonal front-door styling lives here too, without tipping into the inflatable.
