Hello everyone,
we are currently in the process of choosing a front door design, and I would like to get a few independent opinions from you. Our house is being built in the Münsterland country house style, essentially in this direction:
Our cabin only has gable ends, has more roof overhang, copper, and a dark roof. The entrance area looks similar to the picture above.
Does a front door in natural oak fit with this – inspired by the boards in the gable, which for us are located above the entrance area? We will have the windows in white with muntins, so a white front door like this one (just with narrower side panels) is also under consideration:

For our oak version, you can imagine the above door in natural oak, roughly this color:

Besides the question about the appearance from the outside, I am also interested in whether you can lay oak plank flooring inside right up to the door, or whether that would be visually overwhelming with the oak. Alternatively, have it painted white inside? Or tiles in the hallway...
So many questions... go ahead and let yourselves go.
