The front door is the first thing you touch upon entering a building. Its tactility, then, is as important as its appearance, and timber is about as tactile as materials come. A wooden front door can come in many shapes and sizes, and tells a different story when it\u2019s honed traditionally, to when it is presented with a modern sensibility. A timber door can tell a thousand stories, let us count the ways. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quick Tips: Styling a Timber Front Door<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

1. Consider first impressions:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>What do you want to evoke when guests enter your home? If <\/span>it\u2019s<\/span> warmth and welcome, then install door furniture with a playful shape, like a halfmoon or a knocker. Centre <\/span>door knobs<\/span> conjure a sense of whimsy. If your goal is to impress then a bold, robust pull handle in a large format is the way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. A hint of <\/strong><\/span>what\u2019s<\/span><\/strong> to come:<\/strong> <\/span>If the interior is traditional, then you <\/span>don\u2019t<\/span> want a front door emblematic of modernity. Try a classic <\/span>door knob<\/span> for a heritage home, pull handles for a modern interior, or a door lever for a home that is something in between.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Materials matter:<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0<\/span>In order to<\/span> create a unified visual narrative, match the materials and finishes of your front door with elements found elsewhere in the home. Brass pull handles in the kitchen or nickel levers on the internal doors might mean the same for the front door furniture, for example. Keeping things seamless like this creates a calmer, consistent feel throughout <\/span>the space<\/span> \u2013 subliminal, but definitely there.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Maybe Forever<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

A timber door with a traditional feel greets guests at this Cronulla home in Sydney\u2019s Sutherland Shire. The owners have resisted a primped and polished <\/span>finish, and<\/span> opted instead for a rustic stain that allows the natural grain of the wood to shine through. Iver\u2019s Brunswick Lever with Chamfered Backplate works seamlessly, its Signature Brass finish complementing the <\/span>roughly-textured<\/span> wood with its naturally textural idiosyncrasies.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Home Barclay<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The front door on this New South Wales South Coast home could easily have become <\/span>wholly traditional<\/span>, thanks to its central tongue-and-groove panel and natural, stained finish. But with a couple of key details \u2013 a semicircular panel and glass surround\u00a0\u2013 modernity is brought into the fold, aptly reflecting the interior of this functional, elegant home. Iver\u2019s Verona Lever, its long, curved, modern backplate framing the subtly turned handle, encapsulates this balance of old with new.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dulwich Project<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wood can be used to evoke a minimalist aesthetic, too. Here at The Dulwich Project in Adelaide, the front door boasts a Japanese-bent, with thinly cut, <\/span>vertically-arranged<\/span> slats making up its form. The only hint at further embellishment is the Iver Osaka Large Pull in Matt Black, its half-moon shape adding whimsy to an otherwise pared-back door. <\/span>It\u2019s<\/span> a playful approach that adds warmth to highly designed space.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Casa Clisby Way<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The front door of Casa Clisby Way in <\/span>South Eastern<\/span> Sydney aptly <\/span>demonstrates<\/span> how much of an impact hardware has on the ambience of an entranceway. Like The Dulwich Project, Casa Clisby Way\u2019s front door is made up of slatted wood, but the Baltimore Pull Handle utterly transforms its aesthetic. The door feels imposing and serious, suggesting a quiet grandeur.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
