Browsing through my past few pictures albums, Ive noticed I like doors, front ones apparently! The front facade of your home is the first impression your guest will receive and if your lucky enough to have the time to experiment, here are some thoughts and ideas..
Apart from the choice of colour, how much transparency does your door have? I personally love a window, it allows you to frame your interior style with added natural light. Love the raspberry and the half crescent windows. If you cant provide your nosey neighbors with a glimpse of your home, choose an interesting colour or material, such as glass, concrete or even some countries like to use bamboo. How much do you contrast with your friends next door?
The famous Dublin doors, each unique in colour and style. Colour combination streets!
Not the most inspiring image but the blue door frame caught my eye. This brighton bakery continued the woodwork theme throughout in contrasting blue tones. You could add colour to your frame for a surprise on every opening.
Does your front door provide some reading material? Your address becomes a vision when adding names and numbers. You really need to find a name you're going to love forever! Font and composition can be fun, thats a whole new blog post on its own!
This has to be my favourite, not technically the front door but still an entry/escape route. This up, down fire escape for terrace buildings reminds me of mouse trap, the game. I would love to see new examples of this idea on the front facade of a home/flats, imagine having to climb your way home, not practical but exciting!
Im going to do some research on each thought and see what inspiring images are about, blog post on each idea coming up!
