Q. I’d like to freshen our house’s façade as well as have seen more brilliantly coloured front doors around my neighbourhood recently. I’d like to try this! What are some on-trend colours to use?

A. painting your front door is an simple repair for spring! For almost any type of brick or siding, a eco-friendly like Inland (SW 6452) by Sherwin-Williams will work. A cobalt blue like Benjamin Moore’s Patriot Blue (2064-20) will lend a preppy vibe to red brick or white siding. as well as provide grey or brown brick or siding a hit of yellow, as in our motivation picture — the door is painted in Benjamin Moore’s Lemon (2021-20) — or a shock of orange like Charlotte’s Locks (268) by Farrow & Ball.
