Doors With Personality

An unexpected bold first impression.

The idea of painting doors with bold, bright, or contrasting colours never appealed to me, that is until I walked through the cities of India and encountered these (See Photos).

Amongst other things, India’s usage of unconventional choices of colours and brightness on doors caught my attention at first glance, and I immediately took out my camera. It’s a surprising design decision, but I fell in love with the idea instantly – as the doors create interesting focal points for the houses.

I think this eye-catching look could work well with lots of different style homes, and can be most interesting in both interior and exterior spaces. Doors are like faces, but of homes and of rooms. They give the houses a personality without being entered. And depending on the chosen colours and shades, houses can speak through their doors.

Simple Decor

I tend to gravitate towards a more simple, elegant, and minimal design when it comes to filling spaces.
Though the pieces need to be carefully thought out and particularly chosen for its contrast and colours.
Colours need to either compliment, reflect, or contrast each other in order to entice the eyes…
Remember to limit your colour(s) of choice to <3 per area or room- this will enable the eyes to transition more easily throughout your space.
Not many people enjoy or appreciate a busy decor – something one should be mindful of when decorating/ staging.

You can always find beauty in simplicity.
