Front Door Design Ideas

Having the exterior of your home well-designed – your siding, windows, front lawn and even your front door – can be one of the best ways to break the monotony of a street of identical terraces. 


When thinking about the design of our homes, we tend to focus more on the interior aspect more than the outside. However, having the proper exterior elements will leave a lasting first impression to those who pass by or visit your home. It gives your home a stamp of personality.
Fresh Coat of Paint
One of the quickest ways to upgrade your front door is to simply paint it with gloss or semigloss. These types of paint resist scratches. There are paints and primers for steel, fiberglass and wooden door surfaces.
Approximately one quarter of the paint should be used for an average door. Since only a small amount of paint will be used, the remaining paint can be used for your future projects.
Go Metal
If you want a warm and contemporary artisanal look, consider a metal front door. Black steel is popular with the industrial trend, although doors made of copper and stainless steel will always be fashionable as well.
Metal doors are also a great option. Having the metal element completes the industrial, rugged look of your home.
Add Glass
Another fresh door trend takes the existing double door design and transforms it with a glass side panel into a standard front door size. This modern front door idea allows you to get more light into the entrance and saves money when you need to buy a bigger or double front door.
You can also choose to have just a portion made out of glass. A mirrored side panel of glass next to the modern wooden door adds privacy and comfort. The homeowner can see out, but the inside can’t be seen by passerby.
Having an eye-catching front door is a fun way to express your personality while beautifying your home. It doesn’t have to be the most expensive or extravagant, but if you make sure that the design fits the rest of the elements, you will be happy to see the results.
