Old‑World Doors in Modern Houston Homes
Reclaimed antique doors infuse character and craftsmanship into new construction. These doors—often hand‑carved and weathered—are unique works of art. Using an old‑world door as your front entry creates an unforgettable focal point that blends past and present.
Where to Use Antique Doors
Beyond the front entry, old‑world doors can enhance interior spaces. Repurpose them as office doors, closet doors or sliding barn‑style partitions to create a rustic accent. They also make charming balcony or patio doors, bridging indoor and outdoor spaces and reflecting Houston’s blend of historic and modern architecture. Pair a reclaimed door with minimalist furnishings for a striking contrast.
Restoring and Customizing
Aged wood may need restoration—cleaning, sanding and sealing—to ensure durability and smooth operation. Del Rey’s artisans can customize antique doors with modern hardware, glass inserts or weatherproofing to suit Houston’s climate. Choose iron studs, arched tops or intricate carvings to echo Spanish and Mediterranean influences found in areas like Montrose and Rice Military. Integrating these historic elements adds warmth and authenticity to contemporary spaces.
