Green shutters and natural wood create an Italian ambiance
In “Fixer to Fabulous: Italiano,” Jenny and Dave wanted to create an authentic, Italian home suitable for a modern family. They swapped the original, barred front door with a more welcoming wood door with glass panels. The new shutters were also key to creating the Italian atmosphere. Jenny explained, “We replaced the front door, and now we have a beautiful door which was so important, because it’s the first thing people see when they enter your home. So, you have the green shutters inspired by the olive groves.” They also added an industrial-style, mounted light fixture above the front door.
If changing your door is out of your budget, you can steal inspiration from Dave and Jenny’s bucolic shutters. Adding shutters to your front door is an inexpensive way to upgrade the look of your entrance. If your front door isn’t suitable for real shutters, faux exterior shutters can create the same visual effect and can be mounted on each side of the door. For a similar olive shade, try the Heirloom Traditions Paint All-In-One Paint in the shade Crete. Mount the Darkaway Gooseneck Outdoor Light Fixture over your door to complete the look.
