Colonial Style homes usually have recessed panel doors (4 to 6 panels) with glass sidelights above and on the side. These doors may have elaborate trim millwork.
Contemporary style homes typically have single panel doors that are taller, rather than wider, in proportion are most common with dark hardware finishes. For example, a black door with wrought iron hardware. A lot of glass is key with contemporary style doors.
Mid Century Modern homes are more simple with clean lines and can have cut outs for windows or glass side panels.
Here are some interesting front door trends for 2024:
- Bold Paint Hues: Bold Colors like deep navy, charcoal black and rich burgandy are taking center state this year. These darker tones elevate curb appeal by bringing a sophisticated and a dramatic look to your home. (We love Benjamin Moore Black Beauty)
- More Glass: Adding more glass to your door is a big trend. Sleek large industrial doors are being paired with most home types to make for a more modern
- Nature-Inspired Colors: All about nature! Sage green, terracotta, and calming navy blue are popular if bold is not for you! (We love Benjamin Moore Privilege Green and Farrow and Ball Hague Blue)
Keep in mind that the weight of your door, its hardware and lighting play a role in first impressions as well!
Remember first impressions are made at your Front Door!
