- For this newly-constructed bungalow style home, the builder used bead board, large-scale door trim and a reclaimed decorative lambrequin over the transom window to create architectural interest for the front door and entry hall. To enhance architectural details, the walls were painted a bright, cheerful yellow in contrast to the white, painted bead board and trim.
- To create privacy from the front street while still allowing for daylight, a translucent roller shade was used on the front door. The decorative style hem of the shade was chosen to emulate the design of the door lambrequin. In addition, custom stained glass panels were designed for the side lights. The colors were taken from the color scheme of the home’s furniture palette, and the design motif was repetitive of custom wall stenciling used in the living area.
- The hall light fixture was chosen for its colors and to further enhance the Arts & Crafts bungalow style of the home.
