Your front door is the first opportunity to influence the world around you so harness this opportunity to make a statement. Colour is the single most powerful tool in a designer's kit and the most economical, too.

The more detailed the architecture of the door the bolder the colour needs to be to "demand attention" to become a focal point. The great thing about a neutral exterior is that you can experiment with bright colours or muted pastels, depending on how bold you want to go! Check the undertones in colours with large samples tested on site – in different light levels throughout the day.

Gloss enamel is the toughest finish for a front door but you need to use the correct prep to recoat subject to existing paint (see my tips below). Go for it. Make a statement with a colourful front door!
