Want a distinctive Coastal look for your shore house?
Folks often want to give their Shore homes a distinctive, coastal look. What are some of the trends you are seeing within your industry in that regard?
We see a wide variety of materials, textures, and finishes in today's coastal designs, but clearly the influence of nature, water, and sun provide for the peace and relaxation homeowners seek at the shore. Without question, white walls with white doors, trim, and even white closet systems compliment the sun and water at the shore. Nothing reflects light and brightens space more than extra white. In our doors, we see coastal buyers leaning into luxury panels, farmhouse influenced shaker style, and even authentic, natural woods. Our Valencia, Manhattan, and Savannah raised panel doors show clean, elegant, construction with luxurious transitions. These doors make a distinctive statement. With all-wood stile and rail construction, our Legacy shaker doors are still our most popular at the shore. And some buyers and their designers choose authentic 6-panel pine or knotty-alder wood doors.
What are some easier ways to incorporate some of this style into one's home?
There is no easier way to completely change the interior look and feel of your home than to take out your old, paper-thin doors and install new from One Day Doors Delaware Valley. We specialize in providing the best materials and a wide range of styles, all installed in just a matter of hours with no messy construction. All doors are custom-made to your existing frames, no matter the dimensions, age, or conditions. We install new hinges and hardware and ensure an exact fit for every door - bed, bath, closet, pantry, and more.
Do you find that Shore homeowners have more freedom with the design, look and feel of their secondary homes versus their main residences and in what way do you see that being reflected?
Quite the opposite. We find shore house design consistent and distinct - light and airy, with natural materials, white and soft colors to help beat the summer heat. Shore homes are designed in all manner of style but more embrace the open, minimal-elegant compliment to sun and sea. Today, a number of shore owners are challenging the beachy feel with rich, deep-tone color, natural woods and vintage furniture. Back at the main residence, the emphasis is on the practical, with connection to the outdoor as well. Owners lean to luxurious interiors, kitchens, and especially patio and yard space but always with a nod to function, daily life, and practicality. Our customers are always looking to improve their aesthetic, but first, the doors and the closet systems need to work for daily use. Shore house design maximizes open living, captures sun and views, and creates a relaxed, airy aesthetic. I see more personal style and variety in the main residence design, with structure and separation of rooms, dedicated space for work.
