If you want to live in a house that greets you with colourful happiness every time you arrive at the front gate then painting it a bright colour is arguably the best way to add a little sunshine to your life. And choosing one of the most eye-catching colours will surely make your home's facade stand out from the crowd, even on a road well-known for colourful homes.
But there's one street in Cardiff that has become synonymous with bright houses - and it has been adding rainbow shades to the street scene for over 20 years. Elm Street in Roath can not only boast colourful houses to make a stroll down the street a vibrant and visually stimulating experience, it can also claim to be one of the first roads in the Welsh capital, if not Wales as a whole, to embrace murals and street art.
Some of the homes even have props in the garden to support the theme of the house, such as a boat at the 'Caribbean house' to complement the palm tree, banana tree, and azure blue and sunny yellow facade. And now one of the street's colourful houses is up for sale.
