Revive the entrance
A fresh coat of paint on your front door is an easy and budget-friendly project - look for specialist paint that can be used on wood, metal and uPVC doors to really enhance the space. Then, to complete the transformation, update your hardware or give the existing letterbox and door handle a polish, and hang a wreath to carry your planting scheme from pavement to doorstep.
Door painted in Wise Old Sage Al Fresco paint, £19.95 per 750ml, Frenchic Paint
Plant a climber for colour
Bring a plain wall to life by adding a trellis and an eye-catching plant, such as a clematis or honeysuckle, that can be trained to wind up the trellis, bringing luscious foliage and blooms. Ideal by the front door or either side of a window to create a seasonal display for all to admire.
