Historically, this style of door was used in cottages in rural Britain. Being so aesthetically pleasing, cottage doors bring natural beauty into the home with their authentic appearance, making them the ideal addition to complement a period property such as a country house or barn conversion, or a newer home that has a country and vintage theme. Cottage style doors can be for external or internal use and really help to give a country feel, whatever the location.

What Are They?

With cottage doors having such a unique and rustic look, it may be difficult to believe that they are actually constructed using today’s technology and have modern benefits, such as being highly secure, they have high thermal efficiency and are generally low maintenance.

As cottage doors are available in countless styles, designs, glazing options and sizes, there are so many different uses for them - front and back doors, porch doors, interior doors, sliding doors. Whether you require cottage doors for external or internal use, the natural look works for both and you can guarantee they will add warmth and character to your property.

Installing a cottage door is a cost-effective way to create a cottage feel within your home and enhance your property. With it having such a homely and cosy feel, traditional cottage interior never goes out of style, whether that is in an older house or within more modern builds. Since homeowners are increasingly opting for classic looking log burners, tiled and wooden flooring it shows that the historic trend will always be around.
