Edwardian style doors
Edwardian front doors from Secure House
Many of the front doors you see in the UK take their key design notes from different periods of history, reflecting the fashion and character of that particular era. Edwardian doors are a prime example of such a design and there are literally thousands of original and replica Edwardian doors that can be found on both new and old properties today. And it happens to be one of our favourite styles here at Secure House!
What does
an Edwardian door
look like?
The overarching trend towards these traits of luxurious elegance and lavishness were clearly reflected in the conception of a new style of door.
Moving on from Victorian doors of the previous era, Edwardian front doors can be easily distinguished by their truly ornate, extravagant design and distinct door panels that take inspiration from the distinct grandeur that was born in the Victorian period.
More often than not, an Edwardian door can be distinguished by the number of panels it incorporates. An Edwardian door will include a minimum of four panels. These stained glass panels can be various sizes and shapes such as rectangular or square or a mix of the two shapes.
A trend towards glass
This move toward a more elaborate design also signalled the increasingly common inclusion of glazed or glass panels, something that had hitherto not been at all common place in doors.
These stained glass panels, which were often curved rather than rectangular, were regularly added in the upper half of a typical Edwardian door. It was at this time that highly decorative, elaborate, and multiple-glazed panels became very desirable amongst the discerning homeowner of the day. It was widely regarded that such an addition created an extra layer of luxury to these already stunning and sought-after doors.
As well as a move towards the inclusion of stained glass panes, highly intricate mouldings and aprons were a common statement addition to the overall Edwardian door design of the day. The whole idea behind this was to create interest and intrigue and, ultimately, to turn heads. We’ve always been strong advocates of creating kerb appeal here at Secure House, so this is a trend that we fully appreciate and celebrate!
