Which colour would you go for the front door / brown frame?
I thought teal or a vibrant dark blue or burgundy or something else? Ideas pleeease? Thank you!

Glazed Front Door Dilemma
Comments (17)Thanks to all for your help. The latest is that the door couldn't be placed in the centre because it would hit the wall of the little corridor behind but I found this and think we could mimic the left hand panel of the door on the right side. Either that or build out 40/50cm a slight porch then whatever we chose as a colour match it for the new door and window we are planning in the annex/garage on the left side of the house. Thank you to all I'm so amazed at all the help....See MoreFront door dilemma?!
Comments (4)Hi, generally best to stick with symmetrical glazing ( i.e. Not just one long window on one side). For a front door the glazing should be no taller than the solid panel area unless it is stained or opaque glass. A panel door will look correct, either four or six panel ( of which two are glazed) would be the conventional route. The nickel will suit a painted finish rather than natural wood which suits a darker ironmongery material such as antique bronze or black. It is probably more common to pair a natural oak door with an Oak framed porch and this as a default will normally look good....See MoreFront door dilemma
Comments (22)Hi, there are some fab wooden doors available online. Price depends on the wood - oak or hardwood the most expensive and oak veneer the cheapest (pine inner core). The prices you are quoting are astronomical! However, I do realise London can be expensive. You can get gorgeous brand new traditional style doors for half you are quoting. My 1930's style front door was £189 (oak veneer over a pine core) and I bought online as the doorway is tiny and I just couldn't find one narrow enough locally. There was a solid oak one for about £500. Once it's painted who would ever know it's not original! My sister got a black composite one and it looks beautiful. Has a wood grain effect and looks very smart. Good luck with your search....See MoreFront door dilemma
Comments (4)Might a specialist glazing firm be able to incorporate it in a sealed unit? Of sandwich it between two pieces of safety glass? I can see why you want to keep it, but I guess it’s pretty fragile, so a specialist will be the answer, just finding one is the challenge!...See More

5 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.
