Make a Grand Entrance with These Entryway Door Ideas

When it comes to entryway doors, there’s much more than just what meets the eye.

Throughout history, entry doors have been a display of status, craftsmanship, and even functions as a major part of the home’s identity. Different cultures also view doors as symbols of protection and prosperity.

Despite style changes over time, one thing remains certain: the front door serves as the transition between private and public life—therefore, the door you choose for your home should feel right.

What to Consider

Before making your choice, there are a few things to keep in mind.

What is the architectural style of your home?

Is it modern? Traditional? Spanish? It is common to choose a front door that aligns with the home: for example, traditional-style homes tend to feature paneled and symmetrical doors.

It is also important to consider if you want your door to blend in or stand out against your exterior—in most cases, bold doors are paired with a neutral exterior and vice versa.

Material also matters when it comes to your front door.

Fiberglass, wood, and steel are the most commonly used materials for doors. Fiberglass has quickly become one of today’s most popular entryway door materials because of its low maintenance, durability, design flexibility, and energy efficiency.

However, the decor surrounding your homes front door can completely transform your home’s entrance. Lighting, such as wall scones or lantern-style lighting helps create a warm ambiance and improve visibility.
