Happy Weekend: Colourful Door Mat DIY

Martha Stewart

I'm all for increasing curb appeal but in a rented place I'm unable to paint my front door or upgrade my facade, but what I can do is add some temporary pizazz! How you ask? Well, in the from of a DIY wooden door mat painted in multicoloured hues. A fun way to give visitors a hint of what to expect inside your home; tone town the shades if you like a pastel look or up the heat with hot hues for a brighter finish. You can sand down an existing wooden door mat and then prime, paint and seal it, or you can make the whole thing from scratch. Either way, the result is so perfectly Bright.Bazaar that I just love it! What are your weekend plans, folks? 

Trend: Kitchen Pastels

Lifestyles: Jme | Market Picks: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6

Pastels are experiencing a renaissance of sorts in the world of interiors, with many brands - both High Street and luxury - adding more than a gentle nod to the soft colourful shades in their current collections. As such sorbet hues are no longer tied to children's bedrooms, instead they are claiming a stake across products for living and dining as well. That said, it's the kitchen where the trend is most noticeable this season and, potentially, one of the easiest spaces to work the sweet as sugar shades. You could opt for sky blue walls with dusty pink accent in your tablecloth, or swap out the pink hue for a primrose yellow to take off the feminine edge. Have you decorated with pastel hues? How do you like to decorate with these shades?
