Door Stopper

I think a picture of you situation may help....Cover a brick, with decorative fabric. Use a big rock you like. Large heavy ceramic vase with silk flowers. Open up a large tall stuffed animal, and put a brick or rock in it - re-stuff and sew back up.

We have a magnetic door stop for a door in our house. I wonder if this might work for you too.

Find something heavy enough that also blends with your décorand can be moved away and set next to the door when not in use. For example, in a rustic, country, farm style home maybe an vintage, large jug, small wagon wheel or antique iron.

For casual décor maybe a gumball machine on a stand or a child-sized wooden chair. For sleek or modern maybe a glass brick or a ceramic orb on a base.

Hi T, Here's a link of lots of vintage door stops: https://www.google.com/search?q=pictures+of+tall+vintage+door+stoppers&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjZo7qfp-bWAhUJ7iYKHWqGA9YQsAQIJw&biw=1600&bih=794

You can find these on Ebay, Etsy, or even a local antique/thrift store!

Good luck!

If you don't care what it looks like, I use a shoe👟

Hope these help give you some ideas :) Thanks for coming to HOMETALK :)

you can cover a brick with cloth and hand sew it together.

Thanks everyone for your great ideas and replying. Choosing just one is going to be the hard part.

Hello there,

Fit either an over door re strainer arm or fit a door clip on the outside wall or maybe use a hook and a bungee to stop it happening, or a large door stop!

A hook and eye would be a good solution to your problem, if you don't want to do that, then a fabric covered doorstop would be nice.

Here's a bunch of creative ones from Pinterest:
