You are awestruck by the vibrancy of the red front door with the hashtag #prettydoorsoflondon as you scroll through your social media profile on those gloomy days, whether you’re at work or home.
We’ve all had those days when you want to do nothing but mindlessly scroll on your phone and save stunning images as you come across them.
Social media is a great source of inspo for basically everything under the sun. #Door, #frontdoor, or #compositedoor can present you with great ideas you may not have even considered.
And London is no stranger to this realm of beautiful doors. The UK capital is indeed the city of dreams, decked with majestic Victorian and Georgian period properties, new and contemporary self-builds, colossal apartments, modern duplexes, 1930s-style cottages, and more – There is a home for everyone in London. And a door to suit your home.
So, what do you look for when buying a front or back door for your beautiful London property?
There are several factors to consider here. Naturally, you want something that is aesthetically pleasing. But before anything, chalk out a budget. Check for inspiration– family, friends, and social media. Which front door will make a good first impression?
Next comes colour. You obviously want the perfect shade that would set the tone of your home but don’t worry too much. We’ve seen people go for a dark colour both inside and outside even if they have light-coloured interiors. Contrast is fun! (add images)
That said, you could always play it safe by going dark on the outside and white/ cream on the inside. Or if you’ve a light theme for the house (grey home/ white home) you might go for a light colour on the outside altogether.
