How to Choose a Front Door Shape

It seems like such a simple thing, but the shape of your front door has a huge effect on the façade, so don’t overlook this factor when selecting finishing products for your home. The entry can stand out alone or mirror other outlines around the exterior—like gates or windows—to create a balanced picture. If you’re looking to add some interest and curb appeal, here’s what you should know about choosing a front door shape.

Front Doors with Chic Minimalist Style

Anybody who loves the streamlined aesthetic of modern design will be happy to know that the building industry continues to serve up beautiful finishing products for the style. As this architecture simplifies structures down to neat silhouettes—think basic shapes rather than complex ones dressed up with decorative elements—you have only a few key parts of the façade to work with. The main entry takes the most attention, so make sure it’s the highlight it needs to be! Here are a few ways to make your modern home stand out with a stylish yet minimalist door.

Beautiful Divided Lites & Grilles for Front Doors

Therma-Tru Classic-Craft American Style Collection

If you want a bright and welcoming entry, and decorative glass isn’t really your style, there is still a great wide world of front door possibilities for you. Consider including lites with clear Low-E or obscured privacy glass as part of your door design! Whatever sort of home you have in mind, you will find a simple yet still completely fitting lite solution that elevates your façade.

Finishing Touches That Define the Front Door

The front door sets the tone for the façade and disproportionately affects curb appeal—make sure this relatively small feature is tailored to complement and elevate the house! Whether you’re going for a simple or ornate aesthetic, there are a variety of ways you can define the entry. And by doing so, you’ll likely see an increase in property value, too! Here are some door design options you can employ to make your front entry stand out for the right reasons.

Bold & Beautiful Statement Entry Door Ideas

The front door of a home should invite the eye. As the part of the façade you interact with regularly, it has special status, and a door that doesn’t draw attention to itself makes for a very plain, unfocused, and often unappealing exterior. So, take a step back and imagine the view from the curb! There are plenty of ways to make your entry stand out with style—here are some of the most popular.
