Admire the classic beauty of an English door but constrained by a limited budget? Learn budget-friendly secrets to replicate such an attractive look at home with Quartier Studio's professional design tips.
Classic English Door on a Budget A traditional English door is classy in its paneled design, deep colors, and antique hardware. While the authentic type may be costly, you can have the same sophisticated appearance within your budget with the following hints:
1. Use MDF Rather than Solid Wood Medium-density fiberboard (MDF) doors replicate the appearance of classic wood at a minimal price. Select a four- or six-panel layout for that quintessential British look.
2. Paint in Heritage Colors Deep navy, forest green, or charcoal gray will immediately dress up a plain door. High-gloss finishes provide an upscale look without the upscale cost.
