Living in London and seeing the beautiful streets, home and pretty streets, I never planned to become obsessed with doors. Suddenly I was archiving London doors in my Pinterest, envisaging one day in my own home.
Now that I found my home, I was intentionally googling paint colours, door designs and wondering if my own front door should be "sage green energy" or "confident red".
Consider this post your official guide to London Doors. This has spurred me to question, what are the front door trends right now, this season. Is this something many people consider when buying a home or doing their home makeover, because I am now. Well all I know is that I'm stealing those ideas for my home makeover. Lets call it inspirations. What do you think.
My friends, let me share with you a few of the beauties I archived over the years
