Inspiration for Your Front Door

Your front door welcomes family and guests and gives you an opportunity to reflect the style and feel within your home. The choice of door style and colour requires thought and the ironmongery is equally important. We have a large and varied range of front door furniture that is suitable for all door types.

Thinking about giving your front door a spruce up? We’ve put together four different looks for inspiration…

1.) Bright & Bold

Liven up your street and bring a touch of sunshine to those rainy days. A bright & bold door will never fail to make you smile. Be brave and choose hot pinks, bright oranges or bold yellow and contrast with Black ironmongery.

2.) Classic Town House

Stay authentic to period architecture and give your door a new lease of life with this classic, timeless look. Opt for a traditional navy blue, post-box red or glossy black and pair with our Aged Brass or Bronze ironmongery.

3.) Contemporary Town House

Give classic architecture a contemporary feel by painting your door in a matt finish. Choose cool, grey tones and go pale with subtle shades or dark with charcoal. Complete the look with Polished or Satin Chrome ironmongery.
