Composite door style ideas

Choosing a door design that flatters the house it is fitted to.

Style is where most decisions stall. These guides work through traditional, contemporary, cottage, Victorian, Georgian and stable door designs, and show which panel layouts and glazing shapes suit the property types found across Cornwall — from terraced fishermen's cottages to modern rendered new-builds.

There is practical guidance too: how door proportions change with opening size, when a side panel is better than a wider slab, and what conservation area officers typically accept.
