Our English Tudor door is copper. It is an over sized door with an arch. It was stained mahagony but it was so dark it disappeared, so we painted it copper and it is very unique now and stands out.

Hi Ella, first of all, let me say that you have some really nice vintage pieces in your home! If you are planning to keep the light grey rug I would go with a darker shade of grey for the daybed and a lighter shade or a completely different color for the fabric of the sidechair (e.g. like the dark blue in your third photo) in order to create more contrast and give the room a more dynamic feel. You also mentioned a portrait to be hung above the sideboard - maybe the colors of this picture can aslo inspire the fabrics, it's always nice if the same color pops up in different details of a room. I hope this helps in your decision making process and I would love to see the results. Many greetings Anita Goda from Studio Wunderkammer

Hi Nicola, thank you so so much. Its just so nice. So pretty. The good thing is its not a mind bender. I was already thinking something on the lines. But the elements had to fit together. And now it looks they do. What I had not thought at all is the upholstery thing. It’s so nice. Even if I cannot do uphostry , I have gotten the idea now. I would somehow make the back of shelves and the heastbound side of bed same or coordinated, in order to make it kind of cozy niche corner as you have nicely put it. For shelves I was thinking to use a single piece or may a two pieces of 4x4 shelves like IKEA Kalax to creat a kind of partition of about 120 cm As I said I was thinking of similar things but as it comes from an expert I feel very happy. One more thing. For the colors would you recommend the ones I see already in the Sketsch??? Secondly, for the floor in the second / Upper room i was thinking of using small rugs in different colors witha kind of collage ( the pupose being easy maintainece, as a bigger carpet has to be send for professional carpet cleaners or need carpet cleaning machine). Small rugs if one is spoiled is easier to replace , which not easy in case of a bigger one that is wall to wall and heavy. Small rugs are easy to clean an rearrange. Of course under that I can add a light floor matt under these rugs to hold them together.( In both cases what colors , should be good. I mean if I add one piece carpet that would be almost half of the room, which colors should I take) or do you think it will make the rather smaller place look too busy and I should go for a full size carpet? What do you say about that. Thank you so much for your lovely idea and the inpus; in terms of actual work / sketch and your time. Best of regards

In my opinion your work looks amazing! I love the colors. With the boxex there is enough storage room. Eventough it is full of colors, it still has something professional and serious about it. In other words great space where one can work. When it comes to me I like it simple. The right tolls make it easy to stay focused and connected. One needs to make sure that they have the technology they require and Internet service that meets their needs. I find working space mixed with nature very endearing. I Love woods. Wood is great to work with . For me Workspace needs to be simple. Even tough i love the colors you used I simply go with some light brown table https://www.lionshome.at/moebel-gartentische/teak/ and a simple chair. The reason behind this is that this way a person doesn't have to spend unnecessairy time in their working area. After the work is done they can go to their living room chill and relax. Great job!

Kitchen/dining room wall
Q
Kommentare (5)
Hello! I would definitely recommend to take out the wall. Your room will feel so much more spacious and bright because you'll also get the light from the window when you sit at the dining table. Kitchen island is a perfect idea – it creates a lot of extra storage and is ideal for a communicative kitchen/dining situation (no divider between kitchen and dining area). With various shelves and built-in cabinets you can create even more storage room. Living in a space before making any changes is a wise decision – as long as it comes to furniture. When it's about taking out a wall you'll probably never do that later on ;) Happy to discuss if you need more inspiration / ideas – Just book a time that suits you. Cheers Anna

We painted our garage doors & Front Entrance Doors in an Autumn Red Benjamin Moore and added Awnings with the same colour trim. This helped to compliment the bits of rusty red in our brickwork.

Some DO's and Don'ts for garage door color from color expert Kate Smith:
- DO paint the garage doors in the same color as the house itself and not the trim color or white (unless white is your house color) if you want to keep them from standing out. Painting the garage doors the same colors as the body of the house may also make your home appear larger.
- DO paint the trim around the doors either to match the door or to match the trim on the rest of your home. Usually it looks best if it is the same as on the rest of your home but there are times when it may look better to not call attention to the trim with a contrasting color.
- DON’T paint the garage doors in the same accent color as the front door or shutters. This usually draws too much attention to the garage doors and chops up the facade of the home.
- DON’T highlight the details of a standard garage door by painting the door in more than one color. There are historic or special doors where this may be appropriate but for the majority of garage doors this would not be the way to go.

I have done lots of wood stained doors, and exterior trim color doors, but this home I built in East Nashville has a front door color that really "pops" ,and brings out a warm and inviting entrance to a delightful refurbished older home.

A 1960's brick w/predictable beige trim on windows and door. I changed to black shutters, black eaves and facia w/new black gutters. Door went from beige to a rich Carmel. Totally transformed the house. Those who gasped 'Black'? When I announced my plans, now love it.

The porch is brick and I chose a plummy red for the front door, which I thought would look warm and welcoming - however, when the grey undercoat went on the general consensus was that the top coat should be grey too as it looked really good with the mellow old bricks. In the end (after a bit of persuading, as I thought it might make the cottage look like a parsonage!) I agreed. I know it sounds dull but in fact it was the perfect choice - I love it!

I received several likes on my front door color shown in an above comment (thank you!) and it was driving me crazy that I didn't have a full "after" photo so I snapped one this morning. Here is the gorgeous black hardware on my Grasshopper green door by SW. The red brick is on my dislike list but we may be moving so I don't think that will ever be taken care of. And yes, we opted to bring in the lights and ended up with a box. In daily life you don't even notice it. The previous lights were GINORMOUS (and rusted) and set waaaay out. This way you see the lights upon approach (and boxes are hidden by posts) and once you are in the space you are looking at the door. The only way to not have the boxes was to leave the lights in their original position or knock out the inside walls to reroute! That was NOT going to happen!

The painters finished on Friday. We opted for all white with a yellow door. (formerly blue with rusty red shutters and door) The house looks awfully plain without shutters, but because of the pond and streetlight out front we live in bat heaven, and bats use the shutters as bat houses and I'm not going through that mess again. New windows are on the list and should help the look. In summer the house is almost completely hidden by greenery anyway. :-)

I'm loving seeing all the other doors. Makes me wonder about painting the door a new color every year! ;-)

We painted the formerly white door and shutters a rich burgundy. Finally got the new garage doors to match last year! I think it warms up the gray siding.

A couple of years ago we had a very high quality front door installed, with two vertical windows running side by side down the top half with blinds between the glass. It is celery green outside and putty gray inside. The exterior of the house is reclaimed brick, and the pale green does look good, but sometimes I miss the red-orange color of the not-so-fancy door it replaced.

I have a major bias about homes that display fun, unique and stylish door colors. To me, it says, "there is an imaginative, interesting person that lives here!" I love all the enthusiastic descriptions of your doors!

I guess if PattiParker saw my doors posted above she'd assume an unimaginative, uninteresting person lives there. Apparently skiing off The Cornice at Mammoth & racing sports cars, as I did when younger, is pretty boring stuff.

Don't overthink it Bruce Crawford. My point is that I am drawn to the visual appeal of doors painted in colors that are noticeably outside the norm. In no way does that mean that if your home has a predictably mundane-colored door, it would cause me to assume that you were an unimaginative or uninteresting person. That being said, and because of my personal passion for color, I hope that you can find inspiration from the topic of this discussion and considered re-painting your door, just for fun! And If you want to post a photo of your home, I'll even give you my somewhat expert opinion on a color choice!
Bruce Crawford
vor 7 Jahren
PattiParker, I don't believe I was overthinking it. The way you made your statement leads the reader to infer that one who does not have "fun, unique or stylish door colors" is not imaginative or interesting. Here are a couple pics. I chose not to make a statement with a $40 gallon of paint, but with art glass. The exterior lighting will go when I've completed my in-progress bathroom reno, which has followed in quick succession a major K reno, a laundry reno and another bath reno. The doors are a very high quality mahogany, as you can see from the interior pic. The exterior pic was taken in late afternoon on a very bright day. The house faces north, so it was very high contrast. I've tweaked it in PS to make the windows and doors more noticeable. They were done more as a part of the reno's than to enhance curb appeal, but you should see them from the street at night.

Glad to see your pics Bruce. Again, my personal opinion is that the bright blue painted doors pictured in the post right after yours is much more desirable with regard to my passion and appreciation for color. It's night and day to me. It turns my head and makes me smile, or it doesn't. To each his own. Simple as that. Good luck with your remodeling., which is always tough and time-consuming, yet very worthwhile in the end.

Bruce Crawford, I think your front doors are lovely, inside and out. There's a fair amount to look at on your home, with the brick, the tile, the ornate window molding, and the glass. While I'm all for anything goes on a front door, I think a brightly colored door could very possibly be overstimulating visually. There's already plenty going on to catch the eye. And patti parker, lively front doors can be "fun," you're right. But sometimes "fun" is not what the homeowner is going for. As far as a front door saying that an imaginitive, interesting, creative person lives there, sure it can. But it can also just mean that a dull blade who likes bright colors lives there. I don't believe that the chosen color of a front door says anything more about the residents than that they liked that color and thought it looked nice on their house.

Mirador, thanks for your comments. My wife isn't into "fun" on the exterior. She never even really liked the blue I've shown below. PattiParker, I'd considered adding a 4th pic yesterday, but held off. As you will see, I'm not opposed to painted doors. These are my old ones. They aren't as blue as SofiKBR's, which are beautiful, but her porch is a lot wider, which helps them stand out. Unfortunately my porch is very narrow, making the doors appear to be in a hole, especially w/ their northward orientation which means they're always in a shadow. Before I painted them blue, I'd painted them a tan. I can't remember what color they were when I bought the house in '76. The yellow Flemish-ish glass really limited my choices. Before my new K (L) & LR (R) windows went in, the original aluminum ones had surrounds of 1x10's top & bottom, 1x8's vertically, painted same blue as door. As I noted elsewhere, when I was in college, our fraternity, SPE, had a bright, bright red front door. Legend was it'd turn white when a virgin passed through. Our sister sorority always made its pledges paint it white in the early Sat. AM's before a party. Now that was a fun door! :-)

Bruce, we are wise enough to know you cannot judge a person based on an item, like the exterior color of a door.

If you are happy with your doors, that is enough, because it does not really matter what others think. We are old enough to not really care what others think.

I think your front doors look beautiful inside and out. If you and your wife are happy with them, that is enough.
Bruce Crawford

Kathi Steele, thanks. My wife is very happy in that she picked color of our K cabs & she picked interior of doors & windows to match, & she picked exterior color of doors & window surrounds, too. She had privacy concerns about art glass, but once those were allayed, she & glass artisan designed them, also. Had someone offered to pay for doors, I might've considered their choice for colors.:-) It always amuses me how people can make sweeping generalizations based upon their own tastes.

It only took me 2 years to decide on the door color of the 1940's cottage we purchased in summer of 2014. It came with a "pickled drift wood look" front door which I transformed to the color of blue that matches our stray peacock named Pretty Boy, which came with the keys to the cottage. I called this door color "Pretty Boy Blue". Sherwin Williams- Honorable Blue SW6811.
