When it comes to home design, people tend to focus on the same old aspects of their properties.
They look at lighting in their bedrooms, flooring for their bathroom and kitchen, coving for their living spaces. These, of course, are all important when it comes to ensuring that your property looks exactly how you want it to.
However, we often neglect to mention some important aspects. Remember that if you want the perfect house, you also have to focus on seemingly minor aspects of your home design too. Paying attention to detail will make all of the difference! To get you started on the right foot, let’s take a moment to look at doors!
Consider Sliding Doors
The majority of us tend to assume that we’re stuck with the doors that are attached to our property when we move into it. But this doesn’t necessarily have to be the case. If you prefer a certain style of door, you can always have your current doors replaced.
When it comes to back doors, people tend to prefer ceiling to floor glass options, as this allows them to look out into their backyard, and also benefit from extra natural light inside their home. Consider a range of energy efficient sliding patio door styles before settling on any given one. This will ensure that you don’t have a door fitted, only to see a preferred style once the work is already complete.
Repaint The Front Door
Now, you don’t want sliding doors up front, as you won’t want passersby peering into your property. Opaque doors are generally best. However, it is important to bear in mind that the front door is the first aspect of your home that you and any guests will see when approaching your property. So you should always ensure that it looks up to scratch. Take an hour out of your day to paint your front door when the color fades or the paint begins to flake or crack. You could freshen up with the same shade or be daring and opt for something new.
To give your property a consistent aesthetic, you might want to consider painting your window frames to match your door. This may be easy enough for the lower levels of your property, but you should seriously consider bringing in professional help for the first floor and any floors that may be above that. It’s easy enough to slip off a ladder. Having a professional do the work on your behalf will prevent risk of injury while ensuring a high-quality finish to the paintwork too!
Sure, you may not think that doors have a major impact on your home design, but they really can make all the difference when it comes to finishing touches. So, try out the two steps above and see just how significant an impact doors can have on the appearance of your property!
