Doors. They are the first thing you see upon entering a space. A knock, a ring, and a turn on the knob can place you into a different space and different world. Most American homes place our door knobs to the left or the right, but I personally look forward to creating my own door one day with a knob in the middle. There is something so elegantly classic and refined about having a big round fixture in the middle of the door. I especially like when the knob is low lying and expertly placed.

I wish more homes had this feature. I realize it isn’t practical, but is anything you want for your home ever that necessary??

A classic and swank black entry with black and white checkered floors. Love the contrast and timeless appeal. This door will still look good 100 years from now!

A rustic and well preserved front door makes for the most charming entry.

One of my favorite images. A double black lacquer entry with circular paneling to frame the knobs. So superb!  Via Elle Decor
