fresh living
Is your front door
lacking character?
Add an instant
architectural interest
with an iron trellis.
NATURAL CLASSIC
A fibreglass door with
a wood finish and an
aluminium-clad frame offers
low maintenance. And don’t
stick to silver aluminium.
Paint it creatively for impact.
FINISH LINES
A mix of metals relaxes a
formal entry. Note how the
copper finish on the house
numbers makes them stand
out. Experiment at a local
name plate-making shop.
TO P IT OFF
An outdoor table isn’t just
for the patio. Up front, it’s
ideal for plants or as a perch
for bags when you return.
At
The Bamboo Store
,
Delhi
,
and
local furniture shops.
TWO SIDES
Matched sets flanking the
door are fine. But different
accents of similar visual
weight and height, such as
this table and pot, provide
balance and contrast. ■
