BOLDLY Starting at street level you can make a statement of color. Choose brightly colored doors on more traditional homes, or go all out and interrupt the expected with varying colors of bright bold color on a modern home. Bright colors work well against more subdued hues on a traditional home. A pop of neon lime green adds spirited punctuation to the front of this house. The vibrant shade is exactly what's needed in this super-modern dwelling with its graphite- colored cladding and tubular metal awning, but a neon color could work equally well in other settings – electric blue amid white render for example. Bold oranges and reds pair well turquoise and warm, rich browns. Use accent colors to bring in the more dramatic colors and pull back for a more muted and low key approach when using natural woods and fibers. These bright combinations play well in both dining rooms as well as living rooms.
