When someone walks into your home, the first thing they see is the front door. It’s an entryway that you, friends, and family members use all the time. A door is a functional way to get in and out of a dwelling but it can also act as something more. The right door can make your home look fantastic for guests or potential buyers.

If you’re having second thoughts about the way your door looks, it might be time to update it. It can make a huge difference in the aesthetic of the outside of your home and is often an inexpensive improvement for your home

Modern Doors for a Streamlined Look

If you want to add glass to your door, use intense colors, and make use of clean lines, a modern door could be a perfect choice. Update the look of your home through doors with minimal details and a sleek aesthetic. Narrow sightlines, simple grilles, and glass panels or sidelights are often included with these doors

Modern stains and paint colors look amazing on front doors. Choose something in a style that will last. Full black doors are a great choice or you can select a gray, white, or natural colored stain that matches the rest of your home.

Farmhouse Doors for Pure Americana

Farmhouse doors exude comfort and quality with a welcoming facade that lets in light. Expect a streamlined look and neutral hues to fit well with a farmhouse door for your entryway. These doors balance rustic and elegant with items like grids, crossbucks, and grilles to add a little flavor.

Consider a black door for white siding or use stained or natural wood to create more warmth in the space. Farmhouse doors also work well with brighter hues to set off other neutral colors.

Traditional Doors with Style That Lasts

Soft lines, European accents, and rich details are what to expect from a traditional front door. These doors will always look good with a big dose of charm. Choose from minimal detail to huge ornate trim depending on your preferences. Traditional doors can work with any kind of home to complement the house, your landscaping, and more.

Try a rich stain or a muted color to make the door stand out. Add the right choice of hardware to make things come together beautifully.
