Whether want to give your front door a bit more personality or you want to feel like you’re inside your favourite TV show or film, we’ve put together a list of the ironmongery you will need to transform your front door into Sherlock Holmes’ front door or your cupboard door into your own time travel machine.
Monica’s purple door
Besides Central Perk and Chandler and Joey’s apartment, Monica’s flat was the main location where most of the plot developed in the popular American TV show, Friends.
The iconic purple door features a yellow peephole photo frame and warm-toned ironmongery, such as brass door viewer, brass centre doorknob with some detailing on the rose, brass door chain, black nightlatch and brass door handle on backplate. To recreate the main door handle, we have available brass handle on backplate or simple brass mushroom doorknob.
The Doctor’s TARDIS
What appeared to be a normal blue police phone box turned out to be a time travel machine used by the Doctor to travel through time and space in the infamous British sci-fi series Dr Who.
Paint your front door, wardrobe door or any other door deep blue and add polished chrome pull handles and a silver cylinder rim lock to make it look as authentic as possible.
221B Baker Street
221B Baker Street is the home of everyone’s favourite detective Sherlock Holmes and his best friend and assistant, Dr Watson. This London house owned by Mrs Hudson is unmistakable by its black and white chequered path to the black front door adorned with brass ironmongery.
This classic and elegant front door features a brass urn door knocker, brass cylinder pull, brass rim cylinder, brass centre doorknob, brass letter plate with knocker and on top of the door, brass door numbers and brass door letters.
Rovers Return Inn’s green pub doors
Located at the corner of Coronation Street, The Rovers pub was a popular place to frequent by the people who live or work in the Street.
Its recognisable green exterior also features deep green double doors with golden ironmongery, such as brass pull handles on backplate, brass letter plate and brass cylinder lock.
The house with the blue door
The blue door that led to Hugh Grant’s apartment in the 1999 romantic comedy Notting Hill is a popular tourist attraction. Its immense popularity made the new owners action off for charity the door and replace it with a standard black door. However, the stunning blue front door with blue columns will forever be part of Notting Hill.
Recreate this door by panting your front door deep blue and adding brass ironmongery, including brass door numbers, brass letter plate and brass ring door knocker.
4 Privet Drive
Harry Potter lived at his uncle and aunt’s house in 4 Privet Drive from the age of one to eleven and during every summer when he wasn’t at Hogwarts.
The brown front door was first visited by Albus Dumbledore when he delivered baby Harry Potter to be put into the Dursleys care. This front door features a beautiful collection of black ironmongery, including black door letter plate, black cylinder pull, black rim cylinder and black lion’s head door knocker.
