Ring my bell! So…you may not already know but I am seriously in love with London whether it be in autumn, winter, summer or spring. This is a little ode to the beautiful front doors of the houses you get to see while walking around the capital. London’s architecture has so much character and varies from area to area which means you never get bored. It is especially beautiful in spring when the roses and cherry blossoms are in bloom. Join me for a gentle stroll down London’s colourful streets.

Here is a Georgian style Chelsea home, I love the beautiful simplicity and classical features that give this entrance a simple grandeur. Via

This house has a more cottage like feeling, with a fun pop of colour for the front door. I love the spiralling roses framing the doorway. Via

This house reminds me of summer in Notting Hill. Yellow always makes me happy! Via

Such beautiful wisteria framing the whole house and contrasting with the bright blue door and car! Via

There’s nothing like a great staircase to make an entrance or just to add some interest. They range from the fantastical to the physically incomprehensible but I thought I’d share some pictures with you.

I love a litlle trompe l’oeil to start thimgs off! This is really really cool- I don’t’t know which metro station it’s in but would love to see it in real life. Via

A staircase I’d be happy to trip over! Via

This looks fun at any age and I’m sure the kids who live at this house have a blast (I hope that there are kids living here!). Via

Another staircase that any little girl would love. Via

You see this Georgian staircase design all over London and I love the designer here for taking a risk and doing something that hasn’t really been seen before in such a classical space. Via

The room here is defined by the staircase- it is so beautiful and airy and I love the clean lines and how transparent it appears. Via

This staircase is incredible- it is so grand and the symmetry is so beautiful- definitely perfect for making an entrance. Via

This stairway can be found in Gloucester Cathedral in England and although very slippery and dangerous it is such a beautiful sight! As if it has emerged from a fantasy overgrown woodland the stairs are so pretty and add such depth to the architecture. Via

I miss NYC. Via

I would definitely be afraid to climb down these stairs but the design is exquisite! Via
