▲ R E N O VA T I O N S SCORES ON DOORS PUT ON A BOLD FRONT AND STAND OUT FROM YOUR NEIGHBOURS PAINTED IN VALSPAR'S SONIC PLUM HEDGEHOG'S MODERN ALUMINIUM Sarah Beeny says you should make your front door 'sing'. This striking selection proves her point. Who'd want a dull portal when glazing, decorative panels or a coat of paint can make yours special? Obviously you should bear in mind the surround; red brickwork calls for a contrasting shade, such as sophisticated green. Perhaps only a neutral, plastered white render could take something as vivid as purple, but the result can be sensational. Or for an ultra-contemporary look, go for grey, stark black or an aluminium finish. If you prefer traditional wood, any glazed panel offers interest - but a stained or patterned glass insert could be best of all.
