I don’t think so. It also depends on how far the windows are from the front door. The vertical lines a simple and would look fine.

What is the style of the house? Not just the shutters you need to work with.

Bit hard to see from this photo. Shutters are on the left. Door above will be painted black on the outside.

Just going from the photo you have posted. Why a black door on the outside? It’s so dark in that area already. There is no reason why your chosen door design won’t work. You won’t see the door anyway.

@dreamer That’s true.. it is quite a dark entrance. What colour what you go?

I just figured black to keep In with the colours there.

I would do white or light to brighten up the entrance.

@dreamer thank you! 💕

White may be a bit stark against the rest of the frontage. A light olive cor similar could add interest without screaming I’m a new front door.

I love black I think it will blend beautifully, but of course it is a matter of choice.

Ooh I love that!! Where did you find that please? Are you going to put a flatscreen in front?

It looks aluminium..?

There are some fantastic doors available, some really different and unique. If you need a security door, I think a Crimsafe would be best as it doesn’t hide the actual door as much as a metal screen.

@julie thank you so much.. really appreciate your advice on this! Real
