Dreamy child that I was, I always loved books and stories that featured hidden or secret doors. From Narnia to The Famous Five, hidden doors are all over classic children’s literature, and it’s easy to see why they capture the imagination. I was reminded of this when I saw this image from Cole & Son’s new Archive Anthology range of wallpapers.

This was also a subject I covered recently in a guest post over at Todd Doors, about exactly that, with suggestions for how you might get the same magical effect in your own home. We make regular appearances on Todd’s new blog, and so Todd Doors were keen to return the favour to My Friend’s House readers by inviting them to enter a competition. They’re offering £500 to spend on their website just by answering a very straightforward question, so if your doors are in need of an update or you have a project coming up, I urge you to go and enter, here.
