‘A traditional leaded-glass door can be beautifully finished with chrome hardware just as a contemporary design can be softened with brass. Balance and forethought is king — wrongly positioned hardware can spoil even the most stylish door’ James Williamson, London door Company

A Victorian home that’s lost an original door along the way can be restored to glory with a design like this one. The four-panel door has authentic heavy bolection mouldings and is painted in dark grey, which complements the tiled path. It has been made from solid accoya wood, which is treated to be extremely durable and stable, and is finished with smart polished chrome door furniture. From £2,400, London door Company
