A door is just a door, right? Well, not anymore. Gone are the days when doors simply provided privacy, protection, and separation. Rather, these days doors have become stylish as well as functional, and a well-designed door can make a style statement and be a conversation starter.
This might seem like a lot of pressure on a door, but the Compass Homes design team has the inside scoop on all of the design trends – including interior and exterior door trends – and can help you pick the perfect style to enhance the look of your home.
Exterior Door Trends
- Make a bold statement that can be seen from the curb by painting your front door with a bright color or high-gloss paint.
- Add stability, strength, and weather resistance with steel doors.
- Create interest and add durability with bronze and copper doors.
- Display a distinct architectural style with the use of insets of glass or metals.
- Create an entranceway as unique as you with vintage doors.
- Create an ornate look with exotic woods, leather, and nail heads.
- Get smart by adding keyless entry that allows you to control the locks from a smartphone or other device.
- Allow for a seamless connection with your outdoor living space by installing accordion and bi-fold doors in the back of your home.
- Make your entryway comfortable for everyone by creating a no-step or “zero-step” entry that keeps your door on the same level as the walkway.
Interior Door Trends
- Inset decorative glass panels on interior doors to allow light to flow between rooms, creating a sense of openness.
- Turn a plain interior door – like your office door – into its own kind of artwork by installing barn doors on sliding tracks.
- Add an eclectic feel throughout your home by adding wallpaper, chalk paint, leather, metals, and paint to your standard doors.
- Rescue vintage doors from warehouses, offices, and old homes to add character and charm throughout your home.
