Anyone else love front doors?

[KimWexlerGoodman]

Does anyone else have a thing for front doors? I just love looking at front doors, sounds random but I love architecture and interior design, my favourite would be a Victorian timber door, especially in pretty colours. I’d love to have a Victorian house worthy of a beautiful stained glass front door but alas we live in a 1970s build and it wouldn’t look quite right. I follow Gelata doors on instagram and they post some beautiful doors like this one 😍 Just wondered if anyone else is like this or just me?

Me!!! There's a few doors I love so much near me that I make a point of walking by them just to see them. I wonder if people notice me staring! Ha!

Ha yes me! My daughter thinks I’m mad, I love a double wooden opening door, lots of properties in Scotland have them.

Ha ha, yes! I probably stare at front doors like some people look at flowers!

I'm on a FB page about front doors.

Just noticed your username OP. Seems we share a love for doors and bcs!

Found a picture on my phone of me aged 4 standing outside a beautiful door in Majorca whilst on holiday. I would post it as I'm sure folks here would appreciate how lovely it is but much too outing! I remember asking my dad to take the photo as I wanted a keepsake of the door. Anyway point being I've always loved a good door for as long as I can remember!

I liked with my house as soon as I saw the front door. It's an original 1930s front door with 3 vertical panels and a stained glass sun ray pattern window at the top. It's the only reason I've not enclosed the outer porch.
If I did create an outer porch I would get a door like this to fill the arch. I like the way the door works with the arch and the glazed sections are circular

What is the page please!

Very much not just you. Check out the 'doors of dulwich' instagram feed - hours of beauty.

We must both have the same taste!

Wow, I’m not sure my love goes back to my childhood but that is brilliant!

I love a sun ray stained glass pattern and your door is beautiful. I agree the only way you could enclose that porch would be to match it. It makes my heart sad to see those arched porches blocked by uPVC doors.

If I were to have a timber front door on our 70s house, I’d probably go for a 1930s one like this

That one is beautiful. I've got a 1930s house and I desperately want to replace the horrid white PVC with one like that! Just waiting to find a spare 2k+ lying around..

I love a good front door too. It makes such a difference to a house.

Me.

I became obsessed wit this website when we were replacing our door a few years back: Home - Period Pine Doors

I love front doors too, mostly the ones with stained glass. We have a nasty UPVC glass door fitted in our arched front and I hate it, but soooooo expensive to get anything decent. I love the glass & cast iron doors that are much more common in the US, I am constantly pointing them out to DH when we watch tv.
This is a toned down version.

Wow, I have never seen those glass & cast iron doors MothershipG …group field trip?

Count me in!

Oh yes, love it!

Have any of my fellow door lovers found a decent composite alternative? DH def wants composite when we change our awful uPVC door but they don’t match up in my eyes.

There’s a door appreciation group on Facebook….

I’ve found my people I love front doors, mine is a Victorian with stained glass it’s currently Lilac, has been hot pink, teal, sage green & burgundy I do love original thirties doors with the side matching panes oh & double doors are a particular favourite do enjoy wandering around admiring doors.

When the weather has been really hot I've fancied getting a screen door like the ones you see on American and Australian houses.

Fun door facts: I am sure I read somewhere that a blue front door adds 4k to the value of your house! And also, there is a museum dedicated entirely to doors in Pezenas in SW France.

I love looking at doors when I’m out and about. I definitely have a favourite front door in my road, number 16. I always admire it when I walk past.
