Tilton, Annie Sloan's Chalk Paints
‘I find that people often pick colours for their front door that they wouldn’t pick for inside their home – they’re a bit braver and I love that! Bright yellow is a very popular colour for a front door. Bright pink and turquoise are great also. Your front door is the first thing your guests will see, so why not be bold and expressive’ says Annie Sloan, Colour and Paint Expert and creator of Chalk Paint.

‘Palladio London shared this image of a gorgeous door for a red-brick Victorian property. They chose Major Tom – a deep teal – and it absolutely works’ saysAnna Hill, Brand Director at Fenwick & Tilbrook.
