Want to Make a Bold First Impression? Paint Your Front Door a Vibrant Hue

Jessica Helgerson Interior Design, with project manager and lead designer Emily Kudsen Leland at the helm, remade a Portland abode with a crisp paint palette: Benjamin Moore’s Wrought Iron for the cladding and Venetian Gold for the front door. The golden yellow provides a bright and cheery contrast to the home’s darker exterior, and brings out the yellow tones in the plantings near the front door. The home was originally designed by Saul Zaik in Southwest Portland, complete with a wood-clad exterior, in 1956. As part of the renovation, landscape design was completed by Lilyvilla Gardens.
