Colourful Door

This door looks like it leads to Santa’s workshop, in the middle of Edinburgh! Wouldn’t you just feel like you were coming home to a dungeon every night, if it weren’t for the colourful door to this dwelling? Painting the panels different colors can work extremely well, and while this example might be a bit gaudy for the taste of people over about 5 years old, there is also a myriad of possibilities with variations of a single colour (olive green, sea green and green-brown, for example), ore you could use more neutral, shaded, primary colours.

   Just because it is different doesn’t make it creative or better. Try Dublin, Ireland for beautiful 18th century doors with enamel paint and outstanding knockers (American term), or even better, go to St. Georges’s, Bermuda where there are some genuinely interesting folk-painted and colorful doors. I believe antique doors deserve respect, not mutilation.
