Home » Creating a Grand Front Entrance with Your Custom Door

When it comes to first impressions, your front door can make a big one. Are you using this decorative space to its maximum capability? If not, Rusco can help you get creative with the look and feel of your home by designing a custom entrance. It’s the perfect way to showcase your style and create ambiance before guests even enter your home.

Style Inspiration

This year, style trends are favoring streamlined design and natural, wood inspiration, but there are plenty of funky vibes to mix it up.. When brainstorming looks for your ideal entrance, think about color! A vibrant and unusual color – like red or orange – can set your home apart, while a deep blue can add interest without being flashy. 

Lighting and Decor

Sidelights next to the door bring additional natural light into your home, while other outdoor lighting solutions can boost curb appeal and home security.  Make lighting a part of your overall front entrance style.

Give some thought to the overall look of your home – do you lean toward modern? Craftsman style? Midcentury? Finally, choose beautiful plants and pretty pots to add even more charm and character. Do a bit of research to see which plants will best thrive in the climate.

Designing Your Perfect Door

Our doors, made by top-of-the-line retailers like Pella and Martin, offer plenty of options for wood front doors, including solid wood and wood with glass. If you’re looking for the look of wood without the maintenance, fiberglass is a terrific choice – and we’ve got you covered with options for your ideal size and budget. Our process starts when we meet with you in our showroom, help you explore samples, and create a plan for your look. Then, installation is easy with our professionals taking the lead to ensure you get quality as well as style.
