Decorating With Door Accessories

Traditional

With a stately door, choose equally imposing accessories: a regal light fixture, a matte-brass lion knocker, and a generous semicircular doormat. Tall, proper topiaries (you can buy them at any good nursery) echo the symmetry of the slender sidelights.
