The Old World Entry Doors Discover a world of possibilities

Old World: A Design Dichotomy Old World style is really a contradiction, blending contrasting elements. Its rooms long to be both grand and comfortable. Every piece in an Old World styled home is purposeful. From ornate detailing to archways, Old World design balances feminine and masculine elements. The entry door of an Old World styled home is the centerpiece. It is the beginning of the story that leads you into rooms of textured walls, distressed finishes and intricate textiles. The entry door must be impressive in scale and design. In this ebook, we’ll be sharing five ideas on how to create a customized entry door for your Old World home. Before adding the accents, you’ll need to determine the material of your door. Both wood and fiberglass are viable options; we’ll take a look at what you can expect with each of these materials. Once you choose your material then it’s time to customize and make it yours with: • Metal accents

• Raised paneling

• Decorative glass and caming

• Accent carvings and distressing

• Arching
