Can a front door colour add value to your home?

A stylish front door has the power to completely transform the look of your property. We know that kerb appeal has a huge impact, so there is no doubt that choosing the right front door in the right colour can add value to a home. The colour of your door can certainly affect people’s perceptions of you and your property. Interestingly, our data shows that many homeowners are reluctant to opt for bright and bold statement colours, with timeless, muted pastels and grey shades, remaining the most popular.

Is there a swing towards a specific style or materials?

Bi-fold doors remain incredibly popular, with homeowners looking to maximise the amount of natural light in their properties and link indoors and out. However, we have also seen a huge rise in the popularity of sliding doors over the last two years, which offer the same seamless transition as bi-fold doors and require less internal space. They also offer the best views when closed because panel sizes tend to be larger, so there’s typically more glass and less frame. The demand for aluminium doors is at an all-time high as customers opt for durability and longevity. Unlike UPVC and timber, aluminium is low maintenance, strong and resilient, making it safe and hard-wearing.

WHAT are the trends in door furniture and accessories?

A fantastic way to personalise your doors, we have found that homeowners are looking for options that are customisable. We’ve noticed a shift away from the traditional lever handle and towards more modern stainlesssteel bar handles. We offer three different styles of bar handles – straight bar, offset bar and a bow handle – so homeowners can create an individual look.
