Q: I live in a flat, which has quite a modern front door. I want to repaint it but am worried about which colour will suit the style of the property best. What would you suggest?

A: Caroline Vaughan, Marketing Manager and Trend Panel Co-ordinator for Ronseal, has this suggestion…
Dark colours such as black and charcoal grey are a popular trend for external doors at the moment, and they’re ideal for modern doors, creating a sleek, contemporary look. These stunning shades also have the added benefit of helping to hide any dirt and marks, and they really showcase door furniture, so this is also a good opportunity to update the handle, door knocker or number for a fresh new look. Ronseal’s 10-year Weatherproof Wood Paint in grey or black is a good choice and, when used with Ronseal’s Super Flexible Primer & Undercoat, it’s guaranteed to last for 10 years, giving you peace of mind. Both products are quick and easy to apply using a brush or roller, and the Wood Paint costs from around £15.99 per 2.5L.
