THREE front doors!

hace 10 años

This is my living room/dining room combo. There are three front doors....all functional. Outside the doors is the front porch. The middle door will be the designated entryway. Problem is, there is no entryway. Looking for advice as to how to arrange/decorate living room and create an entryway. My couch is a few feet from the front door!

Also, wondering what to cover the windows with? I'm leaning towards custom shutters on the outer doors and leaving the middle bare.

You might place a sofa table behind the 3-seater and if it is larger it could serve as a buffet table for the dining space. Depending on your climate, you could drape the side doors and your other windows in cooler weather.

Have one door walled in so it's just a window, and then you'll be able to figure out how to arrange your furniture as you'll have a starting point.

Como te dicen los compañeros pintarla es una buena opción aunque más que pintar yo la lacaria. Y por otro lado ten en cuenta el cambio de los tapajuntas. Los vinilos son un buen recurso para revestir una puerta a bajo coste, pero para una puerta de acceso y viendo un poco el entorno del hall, yo personalmente no se si lo haría, además que tendrías de todas formas cambiar los tapajuntas. Apanelar todo el frente e integrar la puerta en ese panel es una solución que te hará ver el espacio como un todo.

Buenas noches gestión estética! Muchas gracias por tus comentarios e ideas aportadas, la verdad es que estamos muy ilusionados con el proyecto pero también es cierto que es una reforma de cierta envergadura por nuestra intención de actualizar y hacer más cómoda la vivienda (en la actualidad no cuenta ni con ducha!) pero a la vez intentar mantener los elementos estéticos de la época que le confieren el encanto que tiene al piso. Agradecemos cualquier asesoramiento ya que las reformas las emprenderemos nosotros mismos, sin ningún arquitecto o interiorista que lidere el proyecto, contrataremos directamente a los profesionales que han de ejecutar la obra, por lo que nos surgen muchas dudas de la mejor opción estética / económica / práctica en diversos elementos. Adjunto otro elemento en el que no llegamos encontrar la opción ideal, hay 2 salas que están separadas también por la misma marquetería que en el dormitorio y unos armarios a ambos lados. Nos gustan estéticamente (no en ese color quizás) pero seria más practico que las 2 salas no estuvieran separadas (una estaría destinada a comedor y la otra a sala de estar), por los que nos planteamos o eliminarlo todo (con dolor en el corazón) o una opción intermedia como vaciar solo la parte central, o la parte central y uno de los laterales. ¿Consejo? Por privado (si se puede hacer esto aquí) podría enviar plano completo del piso y más dudas que tenemos! Gracias!

FULL REFURBISHMENT OF A SINGLE STORY HOUSE IN VALLPINEDA, SITGES

Our team planned a complete renovation of the interior design, bringing the property up to the XXI Century.The central idea of the new design starts by opening the front views of the house to the garden, in order to flood the interior with natural light and, at the same time, to put the focus on the sea views. The living room gets leveled with the rest of the house, articulating itself around the new gas fireplace. An astonishing kitchen island with breakfast area is introduced near the new dinning room, complete with kitchen drawers with oak fronts to hide all the facilities. The different spaces can be separated by a series of sliding doors in solid wood that creates different effects when opened and closed.

Do you have a pic of the facade? The gutters should match the gutter, no need for another colour. You will get some blue from the Bluestone but given the proportions I wouldn’t expect much but will depend on the orientation and elevation. Southerly is still relatively new - can’t wait to see it in place. What are the windows?

We love the 8ft solid wood doors and will be working with them.

Beautiful doors. honestly, i would not add curtains or shutters, just leave them naturally bare. A runner in front of the middle door could help delineate the entrance area, maybe add two matching short bookshelves on either side perpendicular to the walls to enclose the space a bit? A console table behind the couch would be nicer to look at than a long dark stretch of leather.

Keep the transom windows uncovered to let the light in. Pick alight color curtain for both doors on the right and left of the center door. Use a right draw rod on the right side and left draw on the left side. There are drapes that work with the draw rod.

Place a rug inside the main front door. This will create a foyer. Maybe a coat rack or potted plant on the right side of door.

The furniture should not be large. Look for same similar chairs from dining table chairs to use for extra seating in living Area.

I see red berries in vase on mantle. Red would be a good color for accents.

Hi! Lovely place! I think I would place a console table in between the door to the left and your designated front door to start with :) Here are a few that I thought may work nicely:

I would also recommend leaning some type of mirror up against it :

Hope this helps you get a start :)

Your house is lovely. I agree with the suggestions to treat the two end doors as windows and make the center the entry. Low furniture on either side of the entry will define it. If you need a rug, a runner would be nice.

Hi sweet pea....I love your house and those fabulous doors, I would not change or cover them
for any reason other than privacy. Place a small demi-lune table behind the sofa for balance
and separation with the dining, it's fabulous

Love the doors! is this a Plantation home? I would use the middle door add a runner and sofa table behind the couch. Do not need to cover the doors they look fantastic as it is.

I'd def leave the doors as is but unfortunately it is a privacy issue. We are in a zero lot line live/work/play community. I wish I had a plantation home! Thanks for the advice. Regarding a runner, would it look good/bad to get the same one as in the dining area? I was considering ordering another for the living area thinking that it would just define the two sides of the room. But now, considering a runner...would it look bad to have them all match? Also, would the sofa table need to be on or off the runner? Or does it matter? Thankful for all the feedback and great ideas.

I agree with the others - those doors are unique and beautiful, and it would be such a shame to ruin the character of your space by turning one or two of them into windows! However, do they all need to be open-able all the time? Would you be OK with sitting a piece of furniture across at least one of them, for example an appropriately proportioned table such as the one posted by essentials inside, above?

As for privacy - how about hanging quality simple but slubby curtain panels for each, with liner fabric hung separately, so you can close one or both, depending on the time of day. I'm thinking along the lines of layered linens, muslin, that sort of thing. There've been some good ideas over at Remodelista - I'll see if I can find them for you.

From Remodelista:

Plain and simple heavier linen (which drapes beautifully, with good heft):

Fun, but I'll bet diy is tricky to hang nicely:

Don't know what your colour scheme might be eventually, but if you have one panel, say the front one, in a light colour, and the other one in a dark colour, together they will give you total privacy, but each will give a very different effect on its own.

I think that your runner should be different than the rug under the dining table. Do you need a rug under that table? I like the idea of a runner and a similar, but not the same rug for the living area. Agree with all who suggested sofa table.

Hello - Great feedback so far. I think you're right on with your shutter idea. I would do a custom color match with 2 full panels on each door that fold back onto the walls. Leave the transoms open. This will help highlight your middle door as the entrance from both the exterior and interior of the house. I would also bring some color into the room by putting roman shades in the little windows next to your fireplace. I'd love to see an after picture.
