Traditional cottage décor is a trend that keeps coming back into fashion thanks to its cosy and homely feel. With homeowners shunning modern designs for rural style log burners, tiled flooring and wooden work tops, it’s proving that the classics never really go out of style.
Cottages are associated with comforting and minimalistic lifestyles, away from the noise of urban lifestyle and cottage style décor is suitable for both old and new properties.
Read our guide for choosing the perfect cottage-style front door for your home, whether you have a rural or an urban property.
Endurance Doors have a wide selection of cottage style doors perfect for achieving this style, and some of our personal favourites include the Malvern, Cleeve, Bredon and Snowdon.
The Malvern
With two vertical grooved panels and a striking but simple border, the singular pane of glass which sits in the top of the door helps to create a contemporary feel whilst still allowing light into your home. This is a style which looks great in any one of our 16 colours.
The Cleeve
The Cleeve style features a diamond shape glazing unit set into the top of the door which offers a unique look that complements the rural feel of a cottage. The vertical grooves mirror that of a traditional wooden door, whilst retaining all the security and solidity benefits of a timber composite door.
The Bredon
The Bredon is a solid style which features classic vertical grooves to impart an old-fashioned and true cottage-style feel to the entrance of your home. Make it your own with eye catching hardware in a contrasting colour.
