do you have your front door in your lounge ???? if so pls help

[fairydust]

new house is fab but it has the front door in the lounge but we won't ever be using it as a door so i was wondering thoose of you with a door in there lounge do you have a curtain or a blind up against it ?

I used to have a very thick door curtain over mine, I bought a piece of fabric and made it into a curtain (well, my gran did!)

a door curtain is a good idea to keep out the draughts

Ours did open into the sitting room but the previosu owners built a porch that just fits round the door when open, so now we have a teeny porch and an inner door, and a really weird chunk out of the room.
Just curious but, how are you going to get in and out?!

the house is a semi detached and it has it's only side access and a back set of doors as well

our door is in our living room, it doesn't get used much as the main access to the house is through the kitchen. We don't have a curtain over it as I am undecided as to whether it will look ok. We will probably have a porch built in 5-10 years time.

oh and if you are sure that you never ever intend to use it as a door why not look at getting it bricked up

we were lookin at puttin a venetian blind on wall so it covers the whole door what do you think ?????

sorry but I think that will look really daft!

Ah, I see! I think a floor length curtain would be better than a venetian blind as you don't normally get blinds to the floor so it would look odd.
Bets of all would be a curtain that matches your walls. My PIL's have a curtain for their front door at night to stop draughts and as it is the same colour as the walls in the hall I used to have nightmares as a drunken teenager trying to get out at 2am to go home as I could never find the sodding thing!

yeh we'll have to look for a curtain i think
the venetian blind we we're lookin at does come all the way to the floor and would cover the door comptly
