Black Internal French Doors for a Renovation Featured on Channel 4 TV

The bestselling Black Kensington 4L Clear French Door Set recently made its debut on the small screen. Working with our suppliers CLIMADOOR, we were proud to feature in a renovation project for the new series of Channel 4’s Worst House on the Street. Find out how we worked with Shurel Mercer of Aris Homes Property to create the perfect family home in Nottingham. An incredible interior design transformation you don’t want to miss…

A Home Makeover Inspired by Instagram

Shurel’s family were selected to appear on the new series of Worst House on the Street. A show that follows the journey’s of homeowners looking to change run-down houses into dream homes without breaking the bank. Shurel reached out to us via email after finding Vibrant Doors on Instagram to see if we could support her creative vision for the property.


She explains: “Me, my partner Luke and our new born baby bought a property in Nottingham which needed a full renovation. We planned to strip everything back and replace it, then showcase some amazing design ideas within the episode. One of our ideas was to open a wall and install glass doors. We loved the Black Kensington French Door Set and made the opening to suit the 1734mm x 2021mm size before we even ordered!”

Achieving an Instant Update with
Black French Doors

Shurel was super-excited to see our “Brilliant” doors installed. Interior doors are an essential (but sometimes overlooked) element of ‘back to brick’ renovations. They not only help to improve layout and flow but set the tone for interior design and provide instant aesthetic appeal. Ideal for achieving the ultimate ‘before and after’ reveal.

Looking to keep things on track, Shurel placed her order via a payment link with senior member of our team Matt taking care of confirmation and delivery. Meanwhile, Luke and Shurel had their work cut out, documenting their progress in time for the episode.

They had to completely overhaul the dated abode which came with single glazing, decor-clashing rooms, crumbling wallpaper and layers of ancient carpet. This was not a project for the faint hearted. Especially with a short deadline and strict budget in place.


Trending

This is a look we see frequently with younger, first time buyers. As demonstrated by the #NeutralHome vibe emerging as a steadfast trend for the last few years.

This is just one of the reasons CLIMADOOR French doors have become such a sought-after design element for homeowners looking to create a stylish and inviting space. 

With their sleek lines and monochrome aesthetic, they seamlessly blend with more up-to-date architectural styles and provide instant visual change. Perfectly epitomising the dramatic transformation from dated to contemporary seen in the episode.


An Epic Home Reveal
Watched by Millions

It was inspiring to watch Shurel and Luke’s journey on the show. They demonstrated an admirable work ethic and unmatched dedication to completing their family home renovation. And as our business is based in Derby it’s great to see a spotlight shone on our Nottingham neighbours, showcasing the East Midlands region at its best.

For our team, a personal highlight was seeing presenters (and property experts) Scarlette and Stuart Douglas comment on the appeal of the doors. They were particularly enamoured with how they enhanced the open plan space and felt that black doors on white walls was a clever choice.

Without giving away too many spoilers, Shurel’s dream was successfully brought to life via a light and airy neutral palette combined with an infusion of black accents for dramatic edge. This unexpected contrast (uplifted with the addition of the black French doors) creates a space that’s both soothing and striking, cool yet sophisticated. A winning result all round.

Shurel says:

“We always get compliments on our doors and we absolutely love them. It was really important to us to try and achieve the perfect balance between modern and traditional, these doors are just exactly that. I was mind blown when I saw them up!”
