THE PERFECT COLOUR

What colour front door best sells your London house look and feel?

‘First impressions count and you want to look smarter, cleaner and more inviting than your neighbours. A darker royal blue can look smart against red brick… If it’s by the sea, however, it’s a mellow, chalky, duck-egg blue.’ 

Rupert Lawson Johnston, head of Strutt & Parker Chichester

KENT COASTAL PASTELS

Deal seaside house number sensational in pastel pink with blue surrounds. 

‘In the South Hams, many coastal properties sell because of the amazing water views. Currently popular is a front door with a porthole in it, usually blue, which adds humour and a coastal feel.’ 

Julie Summers, senior sales negotiator at Marchand Petit

‘A London town house may be beautifully set off with a door in teal blue or eau de nil against a red-brick or cream-stucco surround.’ 

Nick Churton, chairman and managing director, Mayfair Office

TEAL APPEAL

‘Heritage Teal blues are popular.

Teals can look particularly striking on red-brick Victorian properties, which often have elegant skylights or stained-glass windows.’ 

Michael Donnelly, director, Cheffins
