Matching door to house

10 years ago

We have a modest 1950's frame English bungalow with tan siding and white trim. Ordering a white door with art glass. Need help deciding on brushed nickel caming or black nickel. I would choose brushed nickel door hardware to go with brushed nickel caming, and likely bronze hardware with black caming. Planning new storm door & address plaque in complimentary color. Living room curtain hardware and lamps are dark bronze. I don't want finish colors to clash. Advice?

IMO no one really needs a storm door at all so I would not do that and cover up the new door. A picture of the house would help .

Thanks Patricia. The storm door will be full view glass, and will allow us ventilation without having our living room open to the neighborhood. It will also protect our new door, and will help insulate us from midwest weather. Will try to upload photo of house (new to this site), which is a modest 1950, 1-1/2 story frame with front steps and door facing neighbor rather than street.
