Jenny Drew 23 July 2021

Home & Lifestyle Editor. Recovering cushion addict.

1. On a perfect evening at home, you’re most likely doing what?

Hosting a large, lively dinner party with all my friends

Having an all-night backyard barbie under the stars

Working on a personal project or just playing video games

Discovering something new, whether it’s a hobby, movie or dish

Having a calm dinner with my spouse

Preparing for the next day, but maybe with a good movie playing in the background

Relaxing at home with the family, helping my kids with homework or my neighbour with a task

Playing one of those charade-fusion board games with friends

Maybe doing yoga, then enjoying the view with whoever wants to join me

Probably a vocal bird, like a parakeet

A personable dog – maybe a golden retriever

A smart-minded domestic cat

A wild cat, like a cheetah or something fast and powerful

A koala, not because I’m lazy but because I’m just easygoing

One of those smart chimpanzees that acts in movies

A butterfly or something in a tropical jungle

Something majestic, like an eagle

Eclectic Entry by Studio 74 architects

Studio 74 architects

Your front door colour should be … Yellow!

Yellow: You’re contemplative and peaceful. You like to make statements, but in a guided, subtle way rather than being in-your-face. You’re intelligent, but you never brag. And no matter what happens, you’re always able to see the bright side of things.

Your front door colour should be … Green!

Green: A true nature lover, you prefer being outdoors rather than in. You’re most likely found entertaining family and friends in your backyard rather than in your dining room. You’re smart, successful, creative and self-reliant. In your home everything is in order, not because you’re a neat freak, but because you feel there’s a healing effect from having things in harmony.

Hot pink: You’re a born nurturer who doesn’t take yourself too seriously. You have a constant silly side and love whimsical things, whether in fashion or personality. You’ve never thought twice about what other people think. You’d get bored easily if you weren’t having so much fun all the time.

Black: You’re smart and talented, but never showy about it. You’re private but not in an off-putting way. You enjoy tradition and formality, even if it’s your own version of it. You’re neat, clean and organised, with a hint of eclecticism underneath.

Your front door colour should be … Brown!

Traditional Exterior by Daniel Ash Architects

Daniel Ash Architects

Your front door should be … White!

White: You like things clean and simple. You’re constantly reinventing yourself and always open to new things. You find too much stimulation – whether from colours, sounds, tastes or smells – overwhelming and prefer calm, serene settings.
