Front door

Let’s start at the part of your home everyone can see - your front door.

Your front door is an easy way to show off your personality and we have some great options for that in this blog.

In addition to making your house stand out for all the right reasons, painting your front door provides an extra layer of protection against the elements and can even help boost the value of your home!

Right now, the weather is perfect for painting your front door - it’s not too wet, it’s not too cold and it’s not too warm, meaning you have no excuse not to get outside and get painting.

Whilst on the subject of outside...

Living room

Now that the outside of your home is winter ready, let’s bring the brushes in to the cosiest room in the house - your living room!

You’ll be spending many relaxing evenings in your living room, bundled up on the sofa. Increase the heat without turning the heating on by bringing in some warm colours to the room.

Farrow and Ball have just released a 11 beautiful new colours, one of which turns the heat all the way up. 

Introducing Bamboozle, Farrow and Ball’s most spirited red. Gaining its name from a term that was originally used to describe the deceit of pirates, this fiery shade is full of buccaneering spirit, bringing joy and warmth to any room - especially your living room! 

Paneling

Whether it’s in the hallway, up the stairs or behind the sofa, paneling deserves to stand out for all the right reasons.

Although natural wooden paneling from the 1970’s making a return, we think your paneling would look fantastic in Dulux Heritage Eggshell! 

Dulux Heritage Eggshell is a fine quality, durable and hard wearing eggshell paint finish for use on interior wood and metal protecting it throughout your home, ensuring it remains beautiful for years to come.

Keep it classic with China White, or go bold with Brushed Gold, Coral Pink or Deep Ultramarine!
