Custom Patio Doors for an Interior Design Project in London

Opting for joyful (and unexpected) patio door frames is a full celebration of colour and a real treat for the eyes. Our expertise with custom colours has brought many bold visions to life over the years and this daring and playful kitchen extension in Penge, South East London is one of our favourites. Working with interior designer House by Mia, we crafted a bespoke solution (in a stunning aqua shade) which frames the garden while reflecting the retro, postmodern aesthetic within.

Energy and vibrancy for clients who love colour

Mia’s ethos is all about elevated designs and happy clients, which made her the ideal match for this mood-boosting transformation.

Talking us through the project she explains: “This property in Penge needed the bathroom moving upstairs and a kitchen extension. These clients love colour but hated their small kitchen, downstairs bathroom and rotting lean-to.”

We delivered a gorgeous riot of colour to enhance their modern kitchen extension. We added aqua blue kitchen units, a warm yellow worktop and pink grout to really make it sing. We also moved the bathroom upstairs and it's now a colourful green and pink – with tiles to echo the kitchen.”

The space follows post-modern design principles: fun, unconventional and bursting with bright tones. The custom patio doors (with their beautiful aqua hue) would therefore form a key element in the redesign…

Bespoke patio doors to match a bold design vision

We were Mia’s first choice to make this idea a reality. She explains: “We’ve used Vibrant Doors before - we always get good customer service coupled with good prices. Plus, you stock my preferred heritage style patio doors.”

Our decades of expertise is why designers like Mia can rely on us to deliver whatever ideas they dream up. And yes, that really does mean pretty much any style or shade that’s required.

For custom patio door colours, it all starts with an email to our customer care team who work with clients to define the exact RAL colour. Once that’s settled, we send the high-performance aluminium frames to be meticulously powder-coated in the precise colour specified. This ensures a durable, vibrant and perfectly matched finish. Simple and stress-free, the whole process takes around six weeks from start to finish.

We also love being able to pass on good value to the end client. Beyond the eye-catching colour, our doors are engineered for optimal thermal efficiency and easy operation. This provides the homeowner with both stunning aesthetics and smooth usability long term so all the boxes are ticked.

A fresh vibe that brings the outdoors in

Inside the postmodern kitchen, the doors act as a frame, drawing attention to the garden’s greenery while the vibrant aqua/teal perfectly harmonises with the kitchen's other bold elements for a beautiful end result.

From the exterior, the doors provide a captivating architectural detail, adding a touch of unexpected colour and modernity to the home's façade. They blur the lines between interior and exterior; creating a feeling of openness and inviting in plenty of natural light.

Mia says: “The doors are a key element as they draw the eye towards the garden and flood the space with natural light. The aqua colour is refreshing and the doors are practical too as it’s so easy to open them in the summer. It brings the garden into the home and even on a grey day these bright colours create energy and joy.”

The uplifting power of colour

This project is a modern masterpiece which stands as a testament to the power of bespoke design and the ability of the right supplier to execute a unique vision. It’s truly the epitome of ‘vibrant’ doors (see what we did there).

It’s a real privilege to empower designers like Mia to push the boundaries of what’s possible with interior design, offering not just doors, but tailored solutions that transform spaces into works of art.

Mia concludes: “I love the heritage style patio doors in this vibrant aqua colour. They add a joyful element to this joyful kitchen along with a fantastic connection to the garden. I regularly use Vibrant Doors and, as my business grows from strength to strength with bigger projects on the way, I’ll continue to do so!”
