Just like a ceiling the inside of a front door can be a great place to experiment with colour. It doesn’t always have to be the same as your trims. The colour you paint on the inside can really add to the mood and feel of your entryway. Just like a pop of colour on the outside, the inside of your door can be just as playful. Of course the external colour needs to translate in some way with the interiors (more often than not the inside of your front door works perfectly in your trim colour - mine does). However, If your hallway lacks a certain something then maybe some colour is worth a look.

Before I became a colourist, I didn’t really think too much about colour options for ceilings. Like most people I just assumed a ceiling would be “white” - right? Well I was pretty wrong on that front and I’ve since learnt that not only can you do a lot with colour on walls but ceilings too. Be it a subtle hint or something really bold and eye-catching, your ceilings are an important part of the interior colour palette - as they say in the design world, it is your “fifth wall”. How your ceiling looks can make a huge difference to the mood and feel of a space.

Adding colour to your garden (or courtyard if you are an inner city urbanite like me!) can really create a whole new dimension to your outdoor space. Colour often has the power to turn something rather ordinary into something quite extraordinary. The affect this can have on your mood and the overall feel of a space can make a big difference to how you use and enjoy your outdoor area.

For someone who loves colour I must confess that I get quite excited when I see a bright pop on a front door. To me, It just adds a bit of fun (and dare I say “personalty”) that makes a home look all the more interesting. It certainly makes me want to take a peek inside! It doesn’t matter if your house is old or new, large or small, you can always afford to be a little brave with colour. Your front door is a good place to start but remember that first impressions count and the colour you choose can often say a lot about you!
