Can anybody please help! we have just bought a semi detached house that hasn't been touched since the sixties, we aren't sure what to do with the hallway, porch and outside front door. We love the older style doors and want to get rid of the pvc door! Any suggestions would be highly appreciated!

Help with Windows and Front Door needed
Comments (29)Hi Minnie thank you for the help darling, yes we will mirror the right side porch brick column then split the as rest sidelights. Nice and centered for my symmetry obsessed brain. I think I know what you mean about the horizontal bars, especially as they would have to work with the panels in the doors and I can't really see how that would work. I am still fighting with the idea of plain glass though, not sure how I could get to see some modern clear glass leaded panels?? I have this strong gut feeling that adding a bit of detail to the panels will make the whole entrance feel nicer. Colour wise I think would rather have a little contrast especially as we have the garage door as well, but I'm not feeling the stronger colours. I am considering light blue from farrow and ball, too safe????...See MoreNeed Help with new front door
Comments (15)I think the render is a little clinical which is not giving a very true impression of the property and how the door he's suggesting will look.. that's one thing.. but saying that I still don't think it would look great. As mentioned above, when specifying for my clients, the first thing is budget and I also take into consideration the design inside.. after all this is the 'front', the 'entrance', the 'greeting' to your home. I would take into consideration how much light you need in the space, the colour you will have in the entrance and of course the overall style you want to achieve. Is it just that the white and brown don't seem to compliment each other.. or do you feel that door looks dated? What styles of doors do you like? - there's lots of inspiration on Houzz to get you started....See MoreNeed help for shoe bench in space outside front door
Comments (14)Thanks all for your valuable suggestions. As per your advice, we are now thinking to look for a shoe storage for our narrow entryway. But also thinking to put a bench in that area with storage, won’t use for shoes, but don’t know for what.. so confused. Is the bench a good idea at all? It’s just a big space outside so looking for something to use this space and together increase look of our home....See MoreHelp needed for front door and garage colour
Comments (16)My favourite colour is red, but, with a garage door, it gets a lot of battering from our changeable weather. Strong sunlight will fade red and rain, frost and snow will degrade the colour too. The dark blue looks lovely. If you think the blue garage door is a bit much how about a blue front door and white garage door? You can't go wrong with teal blue. Look at paint colours for old houses, you might find something you like. Charcoal grey is fashionable now. I've seen a reddish purple garage and door recently and it looks pretty smart. I didn't get a photo though!...See Moreminnie101
