Debra Campbell DesignTraditional Entry, Seattle
What Houzz contributors are saying:
In feng shui, a red front door means "welcome." In early colonial America too, a red door signified a safe haven for passing travelers.A red front door can give character to a house — I love how the summer wreath has been used here to reflect the season.
This red door is so quaint it almost hurts. With an arched top, paned glass and a Dutch cut, it is a perfect choice for its location: picturesque Carmel Valley in California.
This arched Dutch door with 9 panes is one of the most charming I've seen, and its glossy red paint job is like a fresh coat of lipstick for this home's face.
This Dutch door entry has been a popular image in Houzz for sometime, with good reason. Here's a view from inside looking out ...
This style of door clearly works beautifully in rustic, traditional, Spanish and/or Moroccan-inspired homes, all of which take on a fairly formal feel. But it works just as well in a more casual home setting. This door features a solid bottom with glass on the top portion, making it approachable and less austere. Of course, the bright red paint helps — what a fun touch!
Dutch doors are already whimsical in nature, so a bright cheerful red fits perfectly with the style of this split door.
Love this Dutch door! What a great color...bright red. The fact that it's arched just adds to the whimsy of this style door.
