Doors of Britain

Inspiring Doors from Across Great Britain

Our rich architectural heritage is part of what makes Britain great. Our country is full of wonderful buildings that span a wide range of styles. We wanted to reflect this diversity by simply focusing on one element, doors. So, we’ve gathered together a few of our favourite doors from all over the UK and combined them to create our very own 'Doors of the UK' poster. We’ve included some of our favourites below. We hope that these will inspire your next mini renovation project...

We’d love to see your door pics too! If you have an image of a magnificent door taken anywhere in the UK please share them with us below or on our social media pages using our Instagram handle at the bottom of the page...

 

Perfect Pastels.

Don’t these gentle pastel colours look great against the original red brickwork.

These London doors celebrate colour, using one tone (be it bold or more muted) to create a distinct, elegant look.

 

Create symmetry with planters.

We love the Mediterranean feel of this door in Bath and the classic look of the Milbank Arms in Barningham.

Left: muted grey door with Brass ironmongery & 2 slim tree planters outside. Right: bright blue door with dark ironmongery, brick wall, and wall light overhead.

Okay, we’ve got serious wreath envy! This door (below left) was spotted in the market town of Ludlow. We love the contrast created between the gorgeous blue door, original red brick, and Brass hardware. Not to mention that wonderful, original surround.

Something contemporary.

These sleek doors are the perfect way to bring a modern touch to the front of your property.

A great porch always adds impact to an entrance door.

 

More blue hues

Navy is perhaps considered the classic shade of blue for a town house door, but we love both of these blue alternatives, and how great that wonderful Georgian glazing!

Left: period property with Black door & Chrome ironmongery, black fence, and tiled pathway. Right: bright blue door with Brass ironmongery & an arched window overhead.
