The Perfect Luxury Doors and Windows for Your Dream Home
Luxury homes are all unique. In fact, we’re willing to bet that no two are the same. Even if the floorplans are similar, once the homeowners move in and put their personal touches on the home, it will be its own animal. We may be biased (but only a little bit) when we say that the doors and windows you choose for your luxury home can dramatically change the way it looks and feels. That may sound overly dramatic, but hear us out. Custom Front Doors If you own a luxury home, there’s really nothing stopping you from ordering a custom front door. Candidly, anything short of thoughtfully planned front entryway would do a disservice to the architect and the interior designer. The front entrance to your luxury home needs to be worthy of the rest ofRead more
Double Doors Don’t Have to Be Less Secure
Designing the luxury home of your dreams can be an overwhelming prospect. Even purchasing an existing home and remodeling it to fit your own aesthetic creates an endless string of decisions that can quickly lead to enormity paralysis. This is a major reason you have a team of designers and architects — they can help you narrow things down and only show you options that will suit the overall vision. Somewhere in all these choices will be doors — do you want double doors, single doors, or pivot doors? It’s very possible that you’ve never given much thought to doors up until this point, let alone did you know how many options would be available to you once you got here. But nevertheless, here you are. We’ve helped architects and interior designers complete hundreds of luxuryRead more
Custom Garage Doors: Creating an Impenetrable Fortress
Luxury homes should be flawless sanctuaries. Home is where you go after a long day (or week) at work to relax and unwind. It’s the place where you shouldn’t have to worry about something being off. After all, you’ve certainly paid enough for it — it shouldn’t be anything less than perfection. And part of that perfection is making it completely secure. One of the weak points of any home is the garage. Luxury homes are likely to be made with more durable materials than builder’s grade homes, but even so, it’s an opening (or two or three) to your home that isn’t entirely secure. Between the garage door, a regular man-door as a side entrance to your garage, and a fire door leading into your home, you’ve created quite a few potential failure points inRead more
How Custom Front Doors Can Change Your Home
Your luxury home typically gives two major first impressions: the location it’s in and what the main entrance looks like. Obviously, if your home is feet from the ocean, that’s going to be a major draw to your guests, but they’ll still be entering the house through your front door — and a surefire way to leave them speechless before they even get to the breathtaking view is with a custom entry door. We’ve made quite a few custom front doors for our clients (and interior doors as well), and every time, we’re blown away by how unique each piece is. You’d think by this point that we’ve seen every combination and possibility out there, but that’s not been the case. In fact, it’s unlikely that we’ll ever tire of seeing what our clients want outRead more
What Your Luxury Front Door Says About Your Home
The average person might not give much thought to their front door. In their daily lives, they might not even use their front door — they only open it when someone is visiting. The reality of the matter is that you don’t often see your front door, much less devote time to thinking about it. However, your luxury front door isn’t intended for you. It’s there for everyone else. What it looks like — the color, the size, the shape — is all meant for other people to look at. The front door is an important aspect in the overall facade of your home. What Your Front Door Says About You As our favorite architect will tell you, it’s actually not about the door. It runs much deeper than that. Since long before history was well-documented, frontRead more
