12 Front Door Ideas for the Bank Holiday Weekend
With a rare sunny forecast on the horizon for the bank holiday weekend, a spot of sunbathing might seem more appealing than an afternoon of sanding. But for colour lovers, the long weekend is the ultimate opportunity to squeeze in a bit of DIY – and in honour of the last bank holiday of the summer, we’ve picked out a project that offers maximum impact with minimum effort, for a feeling of accomplishment that’ll last you through the end of August and beyond.
Whether it’s destined to serve as a colourful backdrop for those all-important back-to-school pictures come September, or could simply do with a new lease of life ahead of the weather closing in, your front door deserves some attention. So, why not take the opportunity to lavish it with our eco-friendly, high-performance finishes while the weather’s fine?
Full Gloss and Exterior Eggshell are our finishes of choice for your front door project – both offer our full range of 132 colours in weatherproof formulas that will offer colour and protection for up to six years*, which just leaves the hue to choose.
