Elements of Traditional Craftsmanship in Modern Homes

Traditional craftsmanship brings a sense of history and authenticity to modern designs. Intricate carvings, natural wood grains, and artisanal joinery techniques pay homage to heritage styles while integrating seamlessly into contemporary homes. Berkeley Mills excels in marrying these elements, creating doors that feel timeless yet fresh.

Mixing Materials for a Unique Look

Combining materials like wood, glass, and metal can result in strikingly unique designs. For example, pairing the warmth of walnut with sleek stainless steel or incorporating frosted glass panels into a solid wood frame creates a balance between old-world charm and modern minimalism. These mixed-material designs resonate with homeowners seeking individuality.
