Many homeowners think of entry doors in terms of function, focusing on a door’s durability and security. However, entry doors can actually enhance and define your home’s style and even serve as an exterior design element. WMGB Home Improvement explains more:
-
Try Vintage-Inspired Details – This is an excellent idea for traditional style homes. Your exterior entry door presents a great opportunity to highlight your home’s architecture and show off your personal style. For example, you can use matching shutters together with your entry door. For best results, apply an aging technique to the shutters, and add painted images above your entryway.
-
Consider Using Bold Colors on Your Entry Door – As an entry and patio door specialist, we recommend using your exterior door to add a bit of color to your home’s exterior design. The entry door is one of the best areas to use contrasting and bold colors for your exterior. The entry door is noticeable, but it is not large enough to make bold colors overpowering.
-
Use Proportion Well – Contemporary style homes use shape and form to express their design. This allows you to play with proportions and try an unbalanced exterior door choice. For instance, the entry door might be wider than it is tall or have an asymmetrical design. When using unconventional proportions, it is still important for the result to look pleasing. Consider discussing your plans with a professional like us, so we can offer design advice.
