This beautiful five-storey Victorian home, redesigned by Merchant No.1 Interiors, sits just a few steps from the sea in Whitley Bay.
The striking black front door is complemented by our matching BLU stainless steel door furniture – including the Doctor’s Door Knocker (DKB195), Centre Door Knob (KM388), Sleeved Letter Plate (LP400), all in a coordinated satin stainless-steel finish.
Lynds from Merchant No.1 Interiors specified stainless steel door furniture throughout to give that essential durability while creating a consistent quality look.
The finish also complemented the black front door beautifully, giving a clean, modern contrast that will stand the test of time.

Designer Feedback
Lynds from Merchant No.1 commented:
“As the house is right on the seafront, we’ve seen other hardware struggle to last even a few months. The stainless-steel finish from Coastal Group’s BLU range was the perfect choice - it ties in beautifully with the window hardware and looks amazing against the black front door. We wanted something that wouldn’t peel or fail over time, and this finish absolutely delivers.”
The result is a stunning entrance that not only performs exceptionally well but also ties together the home’s design perfectly - proving that the right hardware can make all the difference in a coastal setting.
