I LOVE your door and wreath it's beautiful. I quite like just the step but you could do the edges of the path too like a border? I wouldn't do the whole path I think it might wear quickly and then look rubbish, I would put something ontop to seal it once it's done to make it last longer

I think odd stones along the length of the path would be nice.

Just the step it looks striking. The lintel is the wooden bar across the bottom of the door a bit like the frame. I would paint that black to finish the look if you have black paint. Great job, well done! X
