While door knockers are typically pretty straightforward in terms of function, you can find some that incorporate extra features such as a peephole or a hook for wreathes or other door décor. These extras can help your door to keep a clean appearance by removing the need for multiple installations.

Luckily it still had some great features — a hilltop location, beautiful stonework on the facade and a stone retaining wall — that helped us see its potential,” say homeowners Joan and Robert Gotwald. Punchy purple petunias and yellow calibrachoas spill out from the low pots on both sides of the front steps. Joan waters them about once a week, depending on the rain and the heat.

Matte black digits coordinate with the door, the shutters and the light fixtures. In order to secure the hanging lanterns to the slanted cedar boards, Paige first mounted them to white PVC blocks. Letters pass through the impossible-to-miss brass slot, which glams up the black door. Big tulips pep up this coir mat, which pulls together the house’s and the yard’s color schemes.
