Redecorating inevitably means pots of old paint piling up put them to work with simple projects that make chic style statements

ARCHITECTURAL HIGHLIGHT

If you're working with a largely neutral scheme, introducing a flash of colour by painting an architectural detail can be surprisingly effective. This could be a feature alcove or a step, but it works particularly well around doors and thresholds. Paint the edges of a door for an unexpected pop of colour when opened, or be inspired by interior designer Davide Casaroli, who introduced a flash of turquoise on the underside of an arched doorway in this apartment. It was all about balancing colours,' Davide tells us. In this colourful scheme, the turquoise draws the eye to the hallway, while picking out a small highlight from artwork on the gallery wall.
