POP OF COLOUR
Refresh a classic: instead of
an expected red or brown,
paint your front door in
an attractive hue such as
orange, yellow, or even an
unusual blue.
HOLD EVERYTHING
PVC or plastic planters
are lightweight and no-
maintenance. They can also
be painted in contrasting
colours.
At Lifestyle and
most gardening stores.
PRIVATE PRACTICE
Your postal carrier lifts the
lid of this stainless steel box
to deposit your mail through
a slim slot; you unlock the
tilt-out door to retrieve it.
At
Ishatvam, Delhi.
STEP AHEAD
Forgo a traditional doormat
for a colourful rug that’s
suitable for outdoor as well
as pretty enough to decorate
your rooms inside the house.
At Fabindia and Big Bazaar.
