3 Designer Tips for Stylish Front Doors

1. Dress It Up

Hardware may not take up a lot of your front door’s square footage, but it has a significant impact on its overall look. The hardware draws the eye, so invest in something high-quality that complements your home’s architectural style. For example, a dramatic bronze knocker is perfect for a traditional home, while some stainless-steel house numbers and a matching handle creates a more modern look.

2. Be Bold

Paint is an easy way to dress up all entry doors and make yours unique to your style. Don’t be afraid to choose a bold color — this will draw the eye to the front door and welcome guests to your home. Try a classy black, confident red, cheerful yellow, deep blue, saturated purple, or a natural green. The options are endless!

3. Frame It Nicely

Symmetry is beauty, so frame your door with attractive features. For example, place matching planter boxes along the entry walkway or large pots on either side of the porch. If you have a large covered porch, you can hang a statement lighting fixture in the middle. Otherwise, frame the door with some attractive lanterns or sconces to make your home welcoming both night and day.
