14. Deep Indigo Manor House with Pointed Arched Double Entry Doors
Introduction and What This Idea Means
Grand manor houses require entrance doors that command respect. A deep indigo exterior facade featuring towering double entry doors carved with pointed gothic arches sets a majestic, fortress-like tone for the entire estate.
How to Make It
Build a grand entryway featuring a double-door frame shaped into matching lancet arches. Install solid dark-stained walnut double doors with wrought-iron strap hinges and heavy bronze knockers. Paint the surrounding manor walls in a rich, saturated deep indigo.
Tips
Install recessed ground uplights outside the entryway to illuminate the towering arched double doors dramatically at night.
Variations and Essentials
- Variations: Add a semi-circular stained glass transom window directly above the arched double doors for added height and light.
- Essentials: Deep indigo manor exterior paint, custom arched double entry doors, walnut wood stain, heavy bronze door hardware.
