The entry to the home features an impressive front door with skeleton key lock. The original staircase has black painted treads. Two oval windows were added to the existing space to frame the front door and bring more light into this old house in Winchester. Eric Roth

A la base de ce projet, des plans d'une maison contemporaine. Nos clients désiraient une ambiance chaleureuse, colorée aux volumes familiaux. Place à la visite ... Une fois la porte d'entrée passée, nous entrons dans une belle entrée habillée d'un magnifique papier peint bleu aux motifs dorés représentant la feuille du gingko. Au sol, un parquet chêne naturel filant sur l'ensemble de la pièce de vie. Allons découvrir cet espace de vie. Une grande pièce lumineuse nous ouvre les bras, elle est composée d'une partie salon, une partie salle à manger cuisine, séparée par un escalier architectural. Nos clients désiraient une cuisine familiale, pratique mais pure car elle est ouverte sur le reste de la pièce de vie. Nous avons opté pour un modèle blanc mat, avec de nombreux rangements toute hauteur, des armoires dissimulant l'ensemble des appareils de cuisine. Un très grand îlot central et une crédence miroir pour être toujours au contact de ses convives. Côté ambiance, nous avons créé une boîte colorée dans un ton terracotta rosé, en harmonie avec le carrelage de sol, très beau modèle esprit carreaux vieilli. La salle à manger se trouve dans le prolongement de la cuisine, une table en céramique noire entourée de chaises design en bois. Au sol nous retrouvons le parquet de l'entrée. L'escalier, pièce centrale de la pièce, mit en valeur par le papier peint gingko bleu intense. L'escalier a été réalisé sur mesure, mélange de métal et de bois naturel. Dans la continuité, nous trouvons le salon, lumineux grâce à ces belles ouvertures donnant sur le jardin. Cet espace se devait d'être épuré et pratique pour cette famille de 4 personnes. Nous avons dessiné un meuble sur mesure toute hauteur permettant d'y placer la télévision, l'espace bar, et de nombreux rangements. Une finition laque mate dans un bleu profond reprenant les codes de l'entrée. Restons au rez-de-chaussée, je vous emmène dans la suite parentale, baignée de lumière naturelle, le sol est le même que le reste des pièces. La chambre se voulait comme une suite d'hôtel, nous avons alors repris ces codes : un papier peint panoramique en tête de lit, de beaux luminaires, un espace bureau, deux fauteuils et un linge de lit neutre. Entre la chambre et la salle de bains, nous avons aménagé un grand dressing sur mesure, rehaussé par une couleur chaude et dynamique appliquée sur l'ensemble des murs et du plafond. La salle de bains, espace zen, doux. Composée d'une belle douche colorée, d'un meuble vasque digne d'un hôtel, et d'une magnifique baignoire îlot, permettant de bons moments de détente. Dernière pièce du rez-de-chaussée, la chambre d'amis et sa salle d'eau. Nous avons créé une ambiance douce, fraiche et lumineuse. Un grand papier peint panoramique en tête de lit et le reste des murs peints dans un vert d'eau, le tout habillé par quelques touches de rotin. La salle d'eau se voulait en harmonie, un carrelage imitation parquet foncé, et des murs clairs pour cette pièce aveugle. Suivez-moi à l'étage... Une première chambre à l'ambiance colorée inspirée des blocs de construction Lego. Nous avons joué sur des formes géométriques pour créer des espaces et apporter du dynamisme. Ici aussi, un dressing sur mesure a été créé. La deuxième chambre, est plus douce mais aussi traitée en Color zoning avec une tête de lit toute en rondeurs. Les deux salles d'eau ont été traitées avec du grès cérame imitation terrazzo, un modèle bleu pour la première et orangé pour la deuxième.

Here's one of our most recent projects that was completed in 2011. This client had just finished a major remodel of their house in 2008 and were about to enjoy Christmas in their new home. At the time, Seattle was buried under several inches of snow (a rarity for us) and the entire region was paralyzed for a few days waiting for the thaw. Our client decided to take advantage of this opportunity and was in his driveway sledding when a neighbor rushed down the drive yelling that his house was on fire. Unfortunately, the house was already engulfed in flames. Equally unfortunate was the snowstorm and the delay it caused the fire department getting to the site. By the time they arrived, the house and contents were a total loss of more than $2.2 million. Here's one of our most recent projects that was completed in 2011. This client had just finished a major remodel of their house in 2008 and were about to enjoy Christmas in their new home. At the time, Seattle was buried under several inches of snow (a rarity for us) and the entire region was paralyzed for a few days waiting for the thaw. Our client decided to take advantage of this opportunity and was in his driveway sledding when a neighbor rushed down the drive yelling that his house was on fire. Unfortunately, the house was already engulfed in flames. Equally unfortunate was the snowstorm and the delay it caused the fire department getting to the site. By the time they arrived, the house and contents were a total loss of more than $2.2 million. Our role in the reconstruction of this home was two-fold. The first year of our involvement was spent working with a team of forensic contractors gutting the house, cleansing it of all particulate matter, and then helping our client negotiate his insurance settlement. Once we got over these hurdles, the design work and reconstruction started. Maintaining the existing shell, we reworked the interior room arrangement to create classic great room house with a contemporary twist. Both levels of the home were opened up to take advantage of the waterfront views and flood the interiors with natural light. On the lower level, rearrangement of the walls resulted in a tripling of the size of the family room while creating an additional sitting/game room. The upper level was arranged with living spaces bookended by the Master Bedroom at one end the kitchen at the other. The open Great Room and wrap around deck create a relaxed and sophisticated living and entertainment space that is accentuated by a high level of trim and tile detail on the interior and by custom metal railings and light fixtures on the exterior.

Our traditional wrought iron 'Ring' design door canopy is a fantastic addition to this front entrance! We particularly like how the ironwork design echoes the design of the stained glass panels in the front door and the side window.

Entrance with Blue Walls and a Black Front Door Ideas and Designs

The entrance of your home is a critical area to design well because as we all know, first impressions count. As the first thing that visitors will see when they arrive, your entrance is your opportunity to offer guests a warm welcome while introducing the personality of your home. Equally important, it welcomes you home every day, so make it somewhere that you’re glad to come home to. The entrance to your home begins the moment you get to the front door, so make sure both inside and out get the attention of your decorator’s touch. Make your foyer the best possible introduction to the rest of the house, and if you wish, you can have a bit of fun with the doorway; paint, tiles, door handles and lighting are all ways to make front doors a statement – a dramatic entrance, if you will.

What front doors can I choose from?

Your first decision when updating front doors is what type of external doors you want to use, taking into account style, security and accessibility. Investing in a high quality front door is always worthwhile – this is a purchase where a little extra money goes a long way. Hardwood exterior doors remain the most popular choice of front door; as well as being the most economical, timber also opens the door to an endless selection of paint, hardware and embellishment. However, natural wood doors do have their downsides – prone to warping, they require more upkeep and may require replacing if not adequately cared for. Whether you opt for solid oak external doors or an oak veneer option, wooden doors are a match made in heaven for period architecture – it’s hard to imagine a Georgian house without a solid, six-panel door, or a Victorian home sans its gleaming hardware and stained glass panes. If you prefer non-wooden exterior doors, the alternatives are UPVC doors, GRP doors (collectively known as composite doors) and steel doors. UPVC front doors are often the most inexpensive alternative to timber and offer added insulation benefits; because the material itself can be a comparatively insubstantial, UPVC external doors are built into steel door frames for added reinforcement. GRP (glass-reinforced plastic, or fibreglass to you and me) doors offer the same properties, with a woodgrain effect that can provide a happy medium for lovers of timber. Steel doors are less widely used in the UK than the US, and make great contemporary front doors thanks to their sleek, modern appearance.

How do I decorate my doorway?

Renovating or replacing your front doors is one of the quickest ways to give your home a makeover, and affords the perfect opportunity to add a splash of colour to the front of your home. To improve your front door’s kerb appeal you can flank the doorway with decorative trees or flowering plants in attractive planters and “dress” the door with shiny hardware. Door knockers and door knobs can be more than functional with a range of styles and materials available to add some personality to exterior doors. A traditional brass door knocker can be the perfect complement to a solid oak doorway painted in a rich shade of green or blue, whilst contemporary chrome door hardware will look perfect against a white or eggshell door. If you are looking for an elegant front door option, opt for a hardwood door with built in obscured glass panels to let light into your hallway. If you would rather avoid a glass paned front door for security reasons then smaller decorative glass panels can also be inserted into the surround or door frame. You can choose stained glass panes for decorative effect, patterned or textured glass will allow light in but protect your privacy or get your home name or number etched into a glass pane for a practical but personal touch.

How should I light my front entrance?

The warm glow from a doorway is one of the most welcoming sights that can greet us when we arrive home. An entrance light is of practical importance – we have all spent time fumbling for our house keys in the dark – but it also offers an opportunity to add warmth and character to front doors and entrances. A wall mounted lantern is a charming traditional choice, or for bright, directed illumination opt for a security spotlight. There are a whole variety of switching options available – you can choose a motion sensor light that switches on right when you need it most, a timer light that will offer illumination on a fixed schedule or a switched outdoor light. Pointing light upward is a good way to avoid harsh glare, or choose recessed lighting if you prefer not to have a hanging light in front of your external doors. An entrance is also a great place to display lighting as a decorative feature – choose a table lamp that echoes the lines and colours of the hall beyond it.

What furniture and storage do I need in my entryway?

It’s important to keep the entrance to your home as open and clutter free as possible, so selecting a few practical items that will help with storage and offer a warm welcome is the best approach for this area. Coat stands, umbrella holders and shoe racks are practical foyer additions that will keep the area tidy. For the knick knacks and paraphernalia that so often accumulate by front doors, sideboards or console tables are helpful and opting for a something with a drawer is a clever trick to ensure these things can be stowed out of sight. If you have the space, an armchair, occasional chair or hallway bench will prove useful for perching on when removing shoes and definitely consider multi-functional furniture such as a storage bench for shoes. A wall mounted shoe cabinet is a must have for a tighter space, getting shoes off the floor and neatly stowed away.

How do I decorate my foyer?

Particularly in the entrance to the home, colour can be a wonderful tool to set the tone of the house. Neutral palettes can create a serene atmosphere appropriate for greeting guests; alternatively, you might find yourself being a little bit more adventurous by choosing a whimsical wallpaper or a bold wall colour that could look overwhelming anywhere else in the house. In either case, the foyer can be blended seamlessly into the home with details that connect it to adjoining rooms. Even if your entrance is not self-contained, instead with exterior doors that open straight into the house, visual tricks make it possible to create the illusion of an entryway by defining the space as such. Changes in flooring, a well-placed rug, a screen or curtain, or even furniture such as a console table or coat rack, can be used to delineate the space and distinguish the entrance from the rest of the hallway. Decorating walls and furniture with photographs or artwork is a simple way of bringing your personality into the foyer and plants, lamps, candles, vases and ornaments can be displayed on windowsills, tables or shelves. As a final thoughtful touch, mirrors placed next to front doors are a practical choice for those last minute appearance checks, as long as it’s not directly opposite the doorway, which could back-light the user – decidedly not helpful!
