Have Fun with the Color

An easy way to change up the look of your existing door or with a new installation is color. There are a lot of ways to make a bold statement just through color alone. The most obvious is with a bright color. This can really play well against a neutral color house. Don’t be afraid of it either. You don’t always have to choose the brightest hue, you can go for a more pastel color and still make a bold statement.

If bright colors aren’t your thing, consider using neutral colors that have high contrast with your home’s siding. Black against white or navy blue against a light gray can make just the same impact as a brightly colored door. No matter your preference, choose a color that will go well with the exterior of the home.

It Doesn’t Need to Be Wood

Most doors, you think wooden rectangle. It doesn’t necessarily hav eto be that way. Think about other options, or mix together a combination of a few different materials. Wood is great for more intricate designs, like carvings. But iron can also make a beautiful focal point for your home. Consider mixing in glass elements too. Small windows can be added to the door to help you see out as well as provide lighting and a lovely look. Larger glass inserts make a front door unique, with stained glass being a popular choice.
