The Door to Your Home
The main entrance to your home can say many things to your friends and visitors. When you and your family approach the door to your home, it's great if it gives you a feeling like, "Ah! It's good to be home!"
The door itself can invite you inside with a warm and cheerful colour such as yellow.
If you crave peace when you return from work or recreational activities, a soft blue can calm you down.
Forest green or sapphire blue can help you to feel relaxed as they inspire the sentiment of a lush woods or the Caribbean Sea!
A shot of red, or even a purple door, add an artistic flair to your entrance-way so that you enter in anticipation of good energy inside!
Solid black can help you to feel stable and a rock on either side of your entrance door is the Feng Shui way of attracting prosperity.
Be brave! Make a statement! Try Canvas Home Basics line of pre-mixed paints to choose an attention-grabbing colour for your door, tying it in to the colour of your foyer once inside.
You can further welcome friends through your portal using outdoor art, tastefully presented on the way to your front door. A healthy plant or topiary tree will punctuate the statement your door has made, eliciting "Welcome Home!"
Don't forget the inside of your front door. Just above it you could try a touch of cultural good-luck such as the Irish script: "May the wind be always at your back!" or perhaps something whimsical such as "Don't forget to smell the roses!" for those on their way out the door.
Creat an idyllic locale for a sunset barbeque with a loved one. With just a few thoughtful touches you can transform your outdoor living area into a very romantic setting.
