Incorporating Traditional Craftsmanship in Contemporary Home Designs

Adding traditional craftsmanship to modern homes infuses a sense of history and authenticity. Intricate carvings, natural wood grains, and expert joinery techniques honor heritage styles while seamlessly fitting into modern settings. Berkeley Mills is renowned for blending these elements into doors that are both classic and contemporary.

Creating a Unique Aesthetic by Mixing Materials

Combining materials like wood, glass, and metal can result in strikingly unique designs. For example, pairing the warmth of walnut with sleek stainless steel or incorporating frosted glass panels into a solid wood frame creates a balance between old-world charm and modern minimalism. These mixed-material designs resonate with homeowners seeking individuality.

Berkeley Mills’ Portfolio: Showcasing Blended Styles

Berkeley Mills’ portfolio offers exceptional examples of blended styles. The Oakland Hills Door demonstrates how east-west design principles—melding simplicity with rich textures—can redefine entryways. Similarly, their Japanese Shoji-Inspired Doors highlight the harmony of traditional sliding mechanisms with contemporary aesthetics, making them perfect for interior spaces.

The fusion of modern and traditional styles in custom doors lets homeowners experience the best of both worlds. Want to create a door that reflects your personal style? Get in touch with us today to start designing your custom door!
