 A Fresh Paint Job

Enliven Your Entryways with Black Steel French Doors

If you’ve heard of the aphorism, “the first impression is the last impression, ” you know how important it is to make a lasting impression. Your visitors see your front door first, so why not get some beautiful steel doors? Steel and iron doors that come with a blend of glass look sleek and elegant, sprucing up any home entryway. If you decide to get add-ons like transoms and sidelights, the soft luminescence will energize and enliven any home interior, making it appear relaxing. If your vision of a grand home entrance isn’t satisfied with the available pre-made iron doors, you can opt to customize your iron doors best-suited for your home.

The Mid-century Modern Approach

Have you ever been inspired by the rustic appeal of the homes in Mad Men? Then the mid-century modern look is just for you. When people, post-World War II, were succumbing to depression, it was encouraged to build homes that allow the flow of natural light, blur the lines between the indoors and outdoors, and have open floor plans to promote better mental health.

This is why getting steel doors or windows that come with a blend of glass perfectly captures the mid-century modern design. Adding large windows and customized steel and iron doors allows natural light flow and provide a great view of the outside world to let in nature. Add low-light potted plants near your windows that can rejuvenate your living space with their lush foliage.

Declutter for that Good Feng-Shui

There is nothing quite as satisfying as de-cluttering your home. Most people aren’t even aware of how much clutter they have hoarded until it’s obstructing their daily lives. Now is the time to swing open that closet and take out any clothes you don’t wear anymore. Go through your pantry and storage spaces and recycle or throw away any trash you’ve accumulated! Try to donate any item that is still in good condition, but you barely use.
