Want to bring a bit of allure and practicality to your entryway? Mull over the idea of a wooden shelter above your door; it might be the ideal undertaking.
1. Fancy Holders
Turn things up a notch with showy holders that prop up your shelter. I once put some detailed holders on a friend’s shelter, turning something run-of-the-mill into a total statement.
2. Raw Timber Finish
Show off the wonder of raw timber tones with a shelter that’s not been painted. I call to mind putting one together that showed off the timber grain, giving a cozy, down-to-earth feel to the doorway.
3. Bending Grace
Go with a bending timber shelter that puts a spin on your doorway. This soft bend can take away from sharp lines in builds, making a space that says ‘welcome’.
4. Earth-Kind Spark
Build a shelter that’s good to the earth using timber that’s been grown in a way that keeps things going and a green roof. I’m all about how this style not only keeps the doorway safe but also helps the animals around us.
5. Shapes at Play
Have fun with shapes in how your shelter looks for a new spin. I find that cuts and shapes with points can bring a fun, artsy touch to any home.
6. Soaring Overhang
Make it look like it’s hanging in mid-air with a supported timber shelter. This plan gets my vote for its smooth vibe and clever build that keeps the doorway open and airy.
7. Sweet Home Charm
Bring a bit of magic to your yard with a timber shelter that calls to mind a sweet cottage. Think of a cute build with edges that have been given the ‘wave’ and a snug feel that works wonders for homes that have charm.
8. Ladder Shelter
Put a ladder layout into your timber shelter to bring in a bit of nature. I love seeing climbing plants sneak through the ladder, giving life and color to the entrance.
9. Earthy Timber Allure
Visualize the inviting embrace of earthy timber supports welcoming you and those you invite over. I once put together a shelter from time-worn lumber sourced from an old stable, which gave a throwback vibe that went hand-in-hand with a rural-style dwelling.
10. Creeping Cover
Let the great outdoors take the wheel with a timber shelter draped in vines. I once helped grow a green tent of vines, making a doorway that felt calm and inviting.
11. Far East-Inspired Build
Make it serene with a timber shelter that takes its cue from the Far East, with soft slopes and hints of bamboo. This style can make you feel at peace the second you step up to your door.
12. Mixed Stuff Wonder
Pair timber and metal for a new spin on the classic shelter. The split between timber’s warmth and metal’s gloss can make for an entrance that stuns the eyes.
13. Tile-Topped Class
Top off your timber shelter with tiles for that timeless feel that echoes your home’s peak. I once guided a friend through this plan, and it brought a joined-up and polished touch to their doorway.
14. Painted Flash of Shade
Switch things up at your entrance with a timber shelter splashed with paint in a strong shade. A lively burst can be a fun surprise, making your home stand out on the block.
15. Sleek Simplicity
For a polished and cutting-edge statement, think about a minimalist timber shelter. I’m all about how uncluttered shapes and a raw coat can fit in like a puzzle piece with modern builds, giving you a stylish and useful entrance.
