 Amenities to add focus to your front door

You can make your door stand out from the house frontage by choosing a contrasting color or grain. If you want your door to blend in and create a visually uniform effect then choose a color that wash in with the rest of your front wall. Your door can be sanded and repainted as the years go by. What is fundamental is the design and quality of your door. It should be hardy and durable and the design should be relevant for many years to come.

Depending on the glazing, glass in the door can let the weather in, and wooden doors can distort in extreme temperatures and weather conditions. Most front doors are lit to make them seem welcoming and to make coming home in the dark easier. Your can use feature lighting to decorate the front door. Sensor lights are also popular, in order to avoid fumbling in the dark. Consider the pragmatics—which direction is your door facing, and will it be catching the morning or the afternoon sun? do you want a sound proofed or screened door? Look at doors attached to houses of similar materials to yours. Which ones do you want to knock on?
