Your doors, especially your front doors, aren’t just there to provide you with a way to welcome the outside world or close it off. Doors also add beauty to your home. Here’s a list of factors to consider:
- Style. A slew of door styles can give you just what you need in terms of style and visual impact. Wood doors with glass squares, painted doors, even rustic doors, all make an arresting statement. French doors are always a charming choice, too, though more suited to the patio. And customizable doors often help set certain moods or vibes in your living space. You could spruce up your entryway just by finding the door in the style that suits your home, personality or taste the most. The lesson? You don’t have to see doors in the same, boring way again.
- Color. Have white walls? You can create an interesting contrast by opting for a blue door. You could easily mix and match door colors and walls in your home to create an interesting palette of shades, hues and tones. Or you could go for a single door color and style in order to create an element of continuity in the space. Have fun exploring what combinations work, says Better Homes and Gardens. Don’t be afraid to try out different colors until you hit the right one.
- Size and shape. There’s something about massive doors that put you in mind of colossal columns and miles of floor space. Small doors can create a great effect, especially if it leads into a wide, open space. You could essentially play with rooms in your home by using doors of different sizes and shapes. Just keep in mind, though, that same-size doors often require more work and higher installation costs. However, if you’re set on getting the doors you want, then those costs should be a small price to pay.
- Material. Different door materials often offer their own pros and cons. Wood is the most customizable of all but suffers from poor insulation. Steel doors are sturdy enough to keep burglars from easily kicking in your doors and getting into your home to abscond with your valuables. However, dents are pretty hard to fix so replacement is the only recourse. Fiberglass offer great insulation but come at a cost.
Choosing the right door matters. So make sure you consider these factors carefully before you settle on your final pick.
