Victorian front doors have always been, and look set to continue to be, one of the most popular styles around. If you’ve heard about the popularity of these designs but are unsure what exactly qualifies for this classification, we can help you recognise these elegant door designs and decide if they are the right fit for your home.
For many people, the classifications of the Victorian and Edwardian eras are used somewhat interchangeably. By their definition of which monarch was on the throne, the Victorian Era spanned from 1837 to 1901, and the Edwardian Era following from 1901 to 1910. With the briefness of the latter, many people will group these eras together into one – certainly when it comes to the designs of these eras.
When it comes to choosing Victorian front doors and Edwardian front doors, there are few differences in their overall distinctive designs and they share the highly desirable aesthetics that make them so sought after for homeowners all across the UK.
Victorian and Edwardian front doors alike are renowned for their elegance and classic appeal. Both of these designs were created to make a grand first impression for any visitors to the property. Then as now, your front door is a vibrant way to express your personality, your character and that of your home.
