Hello everyone,
My windows and front door have now been measured (city villa), and the installer asked whether we are sure we want a sidelight next to the front door. He personally would widen the door slightly and omit the sidelight.
Here is the door as currently planned:
What do you think? Is the sidelight too small and would it look odd? Would a wider door be more comfortable and "nicer" here?
Best regards,

If you maximize the glass area as recommended, you probably won’t even notice the difference, since 113cm (44 inches) is already a standard front door or floor-to-ceiling balcony door size. You will only see the seven centimeters (about 3 inches) difference when comparing them side by side.
My recommendation, since we have a very similar entrance area.
A standard door with a glass panel and a side panel with glass, both as large as possible.
Because unfortunately, this is only a case of "damage control." With just these two strips of light and a glass door living area, you won’t get the hallway/staircase bright or welcoming. The upper floor is/is going to be dark as well.
For our staircase (2x1/4), we also have a light strip measuring 200x30cm (79x12 inches).

Some light comes through glass doors from the kitchen and living room, and a little bit of residual light from the upper floor. Otherwise, five ceiling spotlights are turned on when it needs to be bright, or in the evening a cozy side lamp. Apartment doors in multi-family buildings usually do not have glass panels, and hallways in apartments have no natural light.

Personally, I prefer it bright, of course.In winter, it’s dark anyway in the mornings and evenings, so at least passersby can see through the door windows what’s going on in the hallway.Similar topics
