From the Gates of Paradise in Florence to Monica’s framed peephole on Friends, the entry door has always told a story. It is an essential element in your home’s first impression and can add significantly to the value.

The material used on this interior-exterior element will impact your home’s energy-efficiency as well as style.  Doors are available in a variety of mediums, like wood, fiberglass, steel and composite materials.  But this video will demonstrate why we favor a beautifully crafted wood door.

In addition to the entry of this home, it’s important for the warmth and style of the entry door to be reflected on the adjacent garage.

 

Another lovely pairing expresses this same harmony with a carriage house aesthetic.

 

This Craftsman Style home is a stunning example of how doors can express architecture with something as subtle as the grid pattern.

 

When it’s all about the view, glass panel doors will reflect the natural surroundings via their mirror-like surface.

 

For  slightly more privacy, you can always screen the entry with landscaping, #Snuffleupagus

 

Going Dutch will allow you to have a friendly open door policy.

 

Once you have a door selected, add a bit of art in the form of a door knocker to truly make it your own!
