Arrrrrrrr front door dilemma!
Comments (10)Hi Kerrul, I'd definitely go for a more traditional door - and timber is enormously durable and secure! The last image you've shown is not (as far as I'm aware) a traditional 1920's style door - the proportions were generally in thirds; with a top sold panel of timber or glass of 1/3rd, and the bottom section of 2/3rds often in linear panels. However, if it is just a storm porch before getting to the main front door, then perhaps all of it could be glazed, with a central glazed French door, and allow clear sight lines to your original timer front door? Good luck with it all! K :)...See MoreFront door dilemma
Comments (4)Hello Michelle - it would be great to get an image of the existing front door. I would paint the front door either Farrow and Ball Railings (see image) or if your adventurous trying adding your favourite colour. I like blues with red bricks for a fun contrast try Farrow and Ball - Drawing Room Blue (see image)...See MorePlease help with front door/room dilemma
Comments (8)Hello Miriam, What a lovely cottage. I would use the front room a reception, mudroom / library, occasional writing. It looks like a lovely bright room. It can be used as a dining space for occasions to accommodate a big table if needed. You could put a folding table between the chimney which can act as a console when not in use. An internal window could be added to the space to the right of the stairs opposite the entrance door to bring some more light into the back of the house. In the back room if you put TV above the chimney. You could have a breakfast bar table with couple of bar stools. That would free another wall for a couch....See MoreFront door dilemma
Comments (22)Yes, do consider venetian blinds. They come in different materials and an endless array of colours ( decisions decisions...). I like them because they're versatile and practical in their use but, to my eye, still timelessly stylish, a,thought you i couldn't tell you wether they would suit your home's style. I'm referring to the pull up/down blinds and not the shutter-like ones as in Inna's photo, which might be good to consider too....See More

3 years agoI think you could go bolder as grey is such a good foil for other colours. I love a bright door! I’ve gone F&B’s Cooks Blue. My friend said it should be called Bluebell Blue! As suggested above, do the frame in grey like your windows and just paint the door in your chosen colour.
