1. The Classic Coastal Dutch Door
There is an undeniable charm to a Dutch door that instantly evokes feelings of ocean breezes, warm hospitality, and historic cottage charm. By splitting the door horizontally, this design allows you to open the top half to welcome in fresh air and sunlight while keeping the bottom half securely closed to keep pets or toddlers safely inside. To achieve a truly Pinterest-worthy coastal look, paint your Dutch door in a soft robin’s egg blue, a muted seafoam green, or a crisp slate gray. Complement the wood with polished brass hardware that will develop a beautiful patina over time. Frame the entrance with oversized white wooden planters filled with overflowing hydrangeas or wild ornamental grasses to complete this breezy, inviting aesthetic.
