Exterior Design Trends in 2023
A massive trend that picked up in 2022 was mixed materials. From real wood, brickwork, stone features and steel elements, you can create depth and textures, unlike previous uniform property trends.
Woodwork can add a layered effect and visual interest, but it also disrupts the monotony of symmetry, solid colours and uniform brickwork. Create a feature porch or statement front door like our client in Stockport:

Not only do stone and brickwork add texture, but the lights and darks can also create depth and character that contrast the clean line look. This can be added with stone walkways and paths, brick walls, stone masonry and porch features. Take a look at this unique brickwork porch we finished in Liverpool.

Front Door Colour Trends 2023
Your front door can truly change the facade of your home. So when it comes to choosing the right colour, a big decision is at hand.
Although Black is the go-to colour when it comes to selling, the top spots for front door colour trends in 2023 are taken by rich red, sage green, blue hues and mellow yellows. These are the most popular, on-trend colours for your front door this year.
When it comes to choosing the colour of your front door in 2023, don’t forget to pay attention to the period of your property, the colours and textures surrounding your door and other porch details to make sure you’ve got a cohesive look.
Front Door Inspiration
No matter the trend, there is always a way to make your home uniquely yours. We’ve put together a long list of front-door inspiration ideas to get you started.
Wooden Doors
Style a wooden door with intricate details like the above window and layer with potted plants for a natural aesthetic. All of our uPVC windows come with the option to add Georgian bars and you can create a door feature to suit your tastes since everything we make is custom to you.
Pair distressed wood grains with darker accessories like these outside lanterns. Along with ceramics and transitional stonework, you can make a liminal space between the outside and your home.
Set back doors don’t have to be forgotten about. Create intricate designs with Georgian bars and window panelling for a feature to admire, even in its own space.
Natural Materials
Using natural materials doesn’t have to make it look ‘rustic’. Playing with the shades and tones of your wood grains can add depth and character like this creative, modern front door idea.
Using glass panels to open up your door can not only add more natural light to your entrance but also make it feel more inviting to welcome your guests.
There are tons of ways you can use stone at your entrance. From patterned borders to personalised porches. You can create a welcoming place for guests to escape the rain. We have installed many porches in our time, and work our plans around your ideas.
Stonework doesn’t have to be original for it to make a statement. You can add traditional designs to newer houses, mixing old with new but still keeping on trend.
Door Knockers
Now, these can just scream personality. Whether it’s traditional, a familial crest or just plain interesting, choosing a door knocker can add so much to your home’s curb appeal. Here are some that we’ve found.

Offering seating can be another way to welcome guests, as well as provide a transitional space for taking off muddy shoes or waiting for a taxi.
Or maybe just a space for you only!
