Decorating Your Home With Glass

When it comes to doors, there are many options that you can choose from, which can make it hard for those that are looking for a simple choice. From massive, hardwood monoliths to security doors and everything in between, navigating these options can feel like a never-ending maze. Luckily there is an easy option, albeit one that can be quite hard to find upon initial searching. Leadlight doors are having a resurgence in popularity for many reasons, including their heritage-inspired beauty, practicality and craftsmanship. 

Beauty

Leadlight doors are primarily famous because of their beauty, which crosses multiple styles and hundreds of years of inspiration. The small, glazed windows add an inviting aspect to the door that is not present in most other designs. It also allows for a lot of customisability, with many door manufacturers and carpenters able to create incredible designs that are personalised to your taste. Timber and glass are two materials that complement each other well, and nowhere is this more apparent than in leadlight doors. If you are going for a more old-fashioned touch with a modern twist, than you cannot ignore the aesthetic value of leadlight doors. 

Practicality

Having windows around your doors is not just a feature to make the door look good (although it does that), but it's also a helpful tool. Having windows allows you to tell who is at your front door, how many people there are and if they have left something on your porch. You can choose the level of staining so that objects and people on the outside of your home are more or less clear, and if you don't want to have any distortion, than regular windows can be implemented. The style and choice of glass in your leadlight doors is completely up to you, and most designs look good in any situation. 

Craftsmanship

If you want to make the door of your home a feature in itself, then go for a custom-made leadlight door. Do some research and find out which styles you like. Discuss with your local carpenter what types of timber and joinery you would like. If you would like specific patterns, then make that known, or, if you know the carpenter's previous work and like it, you can leave them to their own devices and see what they come up with. Leadlight doors allow for a far more quality end product than most other designs, and you can really create an interesting and unique entry into your home with one of them.
