A recent trends that's been gaining popularity is having a loud front door - and no, we're not talking about your doorbell volume. Painting your door a non-traditional color is becoming more and more commonplace. Rich tones like eggplant and ox blood were easy to adopt, but now homeowners are attempting more vibrant colors like chartreuse and magenta.
Check out the painted doors below and let us know which one you'd prefer. Would you dare to try Option A's sunny hue? Or would you feel more comfortable with Option B's purple perfection? Which choice makes you yell shut the front door (so I can look at it)?
Our Choice:
Although we really like both doors, we prefer Option A. The yellow complements the white trim and antique lantern, and isn't too flashy. The plants surrounding the door are also a very playful accent. This seems like a lovely door to kiss goodnight in front of or to lock up every morning on your way to work.
You probably have a few colorful front doors in your neighborhood, so we have to ask: what color is your door? Have you thought about painting it recently? Is there a color that you absolutely would not paint your door? Let us know below. And of course, for more home design tips and inspiration make sure to head to the Marketplace Events home show nearest you - US Shows and Canadian Shows.

BETTER LIVING CENTRE, EXHIBITION PLACE
Sep 26, 2013
Sadly,
the Calgary Home + Design Show has come to an end,
but the popular lifestyle exhibit didn’t go out without a bang! More than
32,000 people were in attendance this weekend to shop the show, enjoy the
entertainment and delicious and check out the exciting design features on
display at the BMO Centre.
Visitors
came in droves to fawn over design celebrities Jonathan and Drew Scott
from W Network’s Property Brothers and Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot
from W Network’s Love It or List It Vancouver.
The suited up and plaid clad brothers, Jonathan
and Drew Scott,
dispensed expert advice in their witty way, while Jillian and Todd had the
crowd in stitches with their quick quips and ready banter.
Fans
young and old lined up to snap a photo and have their Calgary Home + Design Show souvenirs autographed
by the two design duos.
The
Ultimate Upcycle Challenge: Unhinged was a tremendous success, raising a total
of $1,333 to benefit Habitatfor Humanity Southern Alberta and ReStore Calgary.
Six locales let their creative flags fly to reuse,
recycle and repurpose a single old door for under $100. Some favourite upcycled
doors included Mike Lam’s contemporary coffee table and Kait Kucy and Mackenzie
Clarke’s multi-purpose home organizer. Visitors were invited to bid on their
favourite piece in a silent auction.
The Samsung Passion for Fresh Cooking Challenge spiced up the Trail Appliances Cooking Stage by pitting three teams against one another for the chance to win $7,000 worth of Samsung home appliances. Three local home chefs were paired with former Food Network Top Chef Canada contestants, Chris Shaften, Geoff Rogers or Xavier Lacaze to battle it out under the watchful eye of host and celebrity chef Corbin Tomaszeki, host of Food Network’s Dinner Party Wars. Just to keep things interesting, Samsung threw a mystery ingredient into the mix, requiring each team to incorporate potatoes into their dishes. With the help of mentor Chef Geoff Rogers, local foodie Ryan Rust was named the victor thanks to his daring approach and skillful technique.
YYC’s
biggest food fight took place on the Trail Appliances Main Stage on Sunday when
some of the city’s favourite restaurants went stove top-to-stove top for the
Food Truck Throwdown. Audience members cheered, jeered and tasted the goods,
ultimately handing the winning title to crowd favourite Fries & Chix.
Other
fun features included IKEA’s White Room Design Competition,
Casabubble and the Western Living Lounge.
Thanks
everyone for coming, see you in the spring at our
