Meanwhile, On Remodelista: Front Door Inspo

Welcome to Meanwhile, on Remodelista, in which we take a look at the goings-on over on our sibling site.

We love a good front door, the kind that makes a memorable first impression and telegraphs the personalities of those who live inside. Remodelista has recently had quite a few noteworthy examples. Take a look:

Above: An Alvar Aalto building doesn’t need much embellishment, but this front door in a rust-orange hue certainly enhances its curb appeal.

Above: We love the idea of a built-in nook next to the front door, with bench for seating or firewood storage.

Above: Tiles in different shades and patterns paired with sunny yellow paint make for a winning front-door scene. (The period-appropriate linseed paint is from Brouns & Co.)

An open door that lets in the light and fresh air—and a vegetable garden next to it, not relegated to the backyard.

Above: Even if you rent and live in an apartment, there may be ways to personalize your front door situation. For this shared hallway, renter Elisabeth Dunker had her landlord’s approval to rip up the floor to expose hardwood planks and decorate the space with entryway essentials like a coat rack and umbrella stand.
