“There will always be a door to the light.”

The writer, while penning this line surely understood the importance a door has to offer! They are often portals that signify the opening of new and unexplored places to us. They act as larger windows to a new and fantastical place.

Doors are inevitably the first thing a stranger interacts with! And, when we are talking about first impressions being the last one, keeping your doors and gates boring and humdrum will not do justice to them!

Let the era of those mundane doors pass and let’s start getting a little more creative! Pick up ideas from the world to enrich the gateway to your house and give your guests something worth remembering.

And, where every country has its own art form and idea of craftsmanship, these doors from around the world capture that intangble feeing of discovery:
