Match your Entrance Door to your Home’s Style

Published by: David Massey

Buying a new front entrance door is not an easy process, as a lot of factors need to be considered when choosing the best door style for you and your house. For example, cost, durability, security and insulative qualities are some important aspects of the door. Moreover, your front door will have a significant impact on your house’s kerb appeal – so, when choosing the style of the door, you should also keep in mind how it will complement your house’s frontage.

Thankfully, our range of door designs have been carefully selected by door experts to include all the latest trends and timeless classics. So, whether you’re looking for a traditional style or something more contemporary and edgy, we have something to suit any type of property!

In this article you will find some suggestions on how to match your front door to your house’s style, adding character and charm to your property.

Victorian/traditional

Patterned bricks, terraces, stone porches… Victorian houses are among the most popular period home styles in the UK – and rightly so!

If you live in a traditional Victorian house, first of all, congratulations! Secondly, we have two doors that would look perfect on it, complementing its façade flawlessly:

• The Whitmore door is the most popular door style in the UK and can be made to match your property thanks to a wide variety of colours and glazing options.

• The Middleton 4 will not only allow you to let more sunlight in with its four glazing panels, but will also enhance the charm of your house front.

Cottage style/rural style

If you live in a cottage-style house, it probably means that you prioritise comfort and cosiness over luxury; you want your house to feel like a welcoming home for you and your loved ones.

How can a door help you achieve that?

• The classic cottage style of the Bramton door is beautiful in its simplicity, and you can have it in either a traditional solid non-glazed design or add a small square window for a unique touch and some extra light into your home entrance.

• The Richmond door, on the other hand, has a slightly more contemporary look that will give a subtle modern twist, while maintaining the homey feel of your property.

Coastal properties

Owning a house by the sea is truly a blessing!

The biggest benefit of a coastal property is usually the stunning, calming view over the water and the extra amount of sunlight you get to enjoy, all year round. In fact, we’re here to make sure that you take advantage of our full-length glazing options that allow you to welcome more light into your home!

• The Rutland door has a contemporary, ultra-modern design that is ideal for your coastal house. Opt for large glazing for fantastic lighting.

• The Kent door stands out for its unique semi-circle glazing design that almost resembles the stunning view of the sun setting over the ocean!
