The front door is often the focal point of a home exterior – a door is the first thing guests see when they arrive, it's the last thing they contemplate after leaving, it's visited daily by the mail delivery, and it gives potential buyers something to remember the house by. An ordinary home can become "the house with the red door" with nothing more than a simple coat of paint, while a magnificent piece of architecture can rely on a unique door style to tie its exterior design together. Why settle with normal? This post looks at 50 spectacular front doors that boast expressively tailored personality and style.

Let’s start with a modern take on a classic. Smooth horizontal wood panels gain a contemporary update with a silky black handle guard that runs from top to bottom.

Here’s a wood door formed from a solid sheet of veneer, integrated within matching boards that wrap around on the side and ceiling.

Doors that reach from top to bottom make entryways look larger than they really are. This one is especially interesting because of how the handle guard continues sideways with room for a mail slot.

Warm wood panels jump out from the neutral home exterior, horizontal matte black panels providing a little extra decoration.

Vibrant wood tones add natural character to concrete exteriors. Here, a matching walking path further differentiates the entryway from the paved parking and patio tiles.

In the context of an industrial exterior like this one, a natural door can have an even bolder effect. This one has a textural exterior to stand in contrast with the concrete and steel that surrounds it.

This classic door seems to float weightlessly between frameless sidelights.

Camouflaged within its bordering panels, this door makes a dramatic first impression by offering a surprising substantial and weighty look among a perfect glass-clad exterior.

Chevron wood panels are a nice break from the traditional horizontal or vertical wood planks. Fiery orange is a nice finish for a modern Californian home like this one.

Timber planks and alternating glass strips allow for guarded visual continuity, allowing sunlight to filter through an otherwise heavy-looking door. The long door pull is another interesting touch.

Incorporating artistic glass is another way to make a front door stand out. These textural sheets of glass coordinate well with the textural exterior of the home, and provide extra privacy that ordinary panels could not. Note that this door also opens on a pivot to save space on the interior.

Garden-facing doors don’t need a lot of bulk, so something with glass panes like this is perfectly workable. It’s the perfect solution for an entryway with a farmhouse vibe like this one.

Wow! These oversized atrium-height doors are breathtaking. Mechanized hardware allows designers to overlook the weight of the doors so the homeowners can go as big and bold as they want.

Deep rose tones ring with a traditional and sophisticated tone, while the brushed steel door guard incorporates modern styling.

This Red Dot Design Award winner gains admiration for its enhanced security and keyless entry options as well as its distinctive styling. Exotic woods like the ones used here always catch the eye.

The ideal door a minimalist exterior – this sleek and modern design uses uncomplicated modern materials, its stripes serving up just a touch of decoration for visual interest.

Wavy wood panels flow and interweave for an artistic effect. The ultra-tall and wide design opens on a pivot, making it stand out both in terms of looks and functionality.

This part of the door tour takes us through several highly artistic and up-to-date options. This futuristic door incorporates a textured print on top of a cloudy finish.

Unusual materials can transform an ordinary front door into a true focal point. This one goes for a bold approach to texture, with stone-like panels varied by tint and height.

Designed by Deborah Aguiar and executed by Joinery Piñeiro, this door transforms ordinary wood panels into a daring sculptural arrangement. Even the mail slot plays an integral role in the design.

Laser carved doors give homeowners endless possibilities for self-expression. This floral imprint continues along the frame to either side to stretch its effect on the home’s exterior.

Here’s another laser carved door, this time featuring an aerial view of the client’s home and neighborhood in the finest of detail. Its aluminum coating contributes substantial visual weight.

Even snake scale texture looks right at home on a modern front door. Edgy and elegant.

This door combines cutout branches with a multi-tone finish for a perfectly up-to-date result. The handprint on the door pull is a neat idea, too.

Check out this flattering take on pane windows, with small squares of amber glass embracing an open view without compromising security. This would be a nice door for an updated take on a classic exterior.

Here’s another take on tiny panes, this one with frosted glass to provide ample privacy while still retaining a bright and sunny appeal.

Are you looking for a way to incorporate natural themes without sacrificing your modernist aesthetic? This starburst pattern draws the eye immediately, its distressed bright blue paint keeping the personality nice and casual.

Screen doors can boast plenty of style too. Here, decorative strapwork creates a guarded but attractive boundary between the front door and the street outside. Fresh air filters right through to cool the home, but the hot sun doesn’t get very far.

Designed by architect Dick Clark and constructed by Gary McFarland, this artistic door glows brightly from within thanks to the ethereal lights sandwiched between semi-transparent onyx panels.

The mid-century Scandinavian vibes are strong with this door! Natural shades of orange and green blend flawlessly with the nearby furniture and decoration while livening up the home’s concrete exterior.

Natural materials meet minimalism in this gorgeous entryway.

Sideways herringbone patterns certainly aren’t a common pattern for front doors, making this one even more noticeable. The golden ratio inspired sidelights reinforce the artistic elements at play here.

Glossy doors are uncommon as well. White stripes offer a response to the black strips along the exterior walkway. Inside, glossy walls and floors continue the highly polished theme.

This cardinal red door uses its extra-wide stature and pivot construction to make a dramatic statement every time it sweeps open.

Pivoting doors always seem to create a stir among visitors. This method can turn even an ordinary door into a show-stopper.

Some doors don’t have much of a pivot to them at all. This lovely example could be mistaken for a traditional hinged door at first glance, but the lack of visual hinges makes it a great option for those who seek out minimalism in exterior design.

It’s impossible to overlook this creative modern door. A pivoting outer frame reveals a smaller door within, the smaller door adhering to traditional sizing and the outer door blurring the boundaries between inside and out.

Karim Rashid’s innovative Ring front door design won a Red Dot Design Award, thanks in part to its unique opening mechanism: a ring hiding inside the volcano that opens when activated.

The gorgeous Blow door, also by Karim Rashid, curves outward to provide a visually stunning alternative to a traditional door handle.

Now let’s move on to a collection of doors that emphasize color. This bright blue door stands out against the surrounding potted plants, a cool drink of water within a desert-inspired garden.

Bright yellow is a cheerful and welcoming color, perfect for a front door.

Do you recognize this famous entryway? The creatives at Studio DIY noticed this bold door making waves on Pinterest, and became so obsessed they actually took the time to hunt it down.

Color is a great way to embrace bright flora growing nearby – these blossoms would have outshined any other door, so now the entrance gets to share the spotlight.

Constructed from 40 planks of Burma teak, this door contains fabulously intricate inner mechanisms including a wire rope and hidden counterweight to create its dynamic opening effect. It looks just like an ordinary oversized door when closed, but fans out into a beautiful curved opening.

This door offers another amazing example of construction turning ordinary materials into something magical, in this case, a lovely starburst pattern that extends the door framing on either side.

This wooden door is especially unique. Its wood body continues down beneath the stairs and off to the sides to create the illusion of one large door, with a set of varied stairs seeming to float in front.

What could make you feel more secure than a stone door? This work of art is carved from solid basalt.

Woodcarving can come in handy for artistic expression as well. This door takes its owl motif to the next level by including a sculptural beak and tinted windows for eyes.

While this is not a home, the idea is still solid – the door itself is an ordinary style, but the streetlamp painting gives it a distinctive artistic frame.

Wow! This door is built into a round window, its unique shape and proportions ensuring undivided attention.

Ultimate Guide to Front Door Interior Design

Whether you’re involved in a renovation or starting a new construction project, there’s a lot to think about in terms of your home’s exterior design. Landscaping, roofing, and the windows are a few design elements to think about. While front doors aren’t the first thing that come to mind, this is how you will welcome your guests, your family, and your friends. How it looks is very important!

IMPORTANCE OF FRONT DOOR INTERIOR DESIGN

We tend to think about front doors in terms of their practical purpose, but a front door does more than let guests in and out. It invites everyone to explore the home, to imagine what’s inside. Front door interior design is also crucial to your energy efficiency, and how you want your home to interact with its surroundings in terms of openness and durability.

Here are a few of our tips for how you can design a front door that’s tailored to your personality and style. After all, first impressions are everything.

1. MATCH YOUR FRONT DOOR TO THE STYLE OF YOUR HOME

Your front door is the focal point of your home’s exterior. It’s important to make sure the colors work together to create a cohesive exterior design. Think about whether you want the color of your front door to blend in or stand out. Though we’ve never been one for design rules, there are certain colors that tend to work better with specific style homes than others.

Traditional and impressive, this exterior door makes a strong statement.

If your home is Moroccan-inspired, a bright color would be fabulous on the front door! A neutral-colored Dutch front door gives your home’s exterior a cozy, welcoming feel and would be beautiful for a country estate. To add a bit of grandeur to your home’s exterior, incorporate an antique door or front door with intricate iron work.

We love the combination of aged wood and Spanish tile in this design. It’s the perfect way to blend the old and the new. The door frame tiles pick up the lighter tones of the wood. The combination is a front door design that’s full of warmth, history, and character. While we love a vibrant front door, a bold color would compete for attention in this front door design.

For our Hedwig Village renovation, we wanted to allow more natural light into the entry of the home. The original home’s front door was a side-by-side door made of dark wood and small windows. We worked with a local artesian to create a custom steel door designed with larger windows and a slim framing. The beautiful blue paint finish complements the exterior shutters and interior color palette.

2. YOUR FRONT DOOR SHOULD REFLECT YOUR PERSONALITY

Your front door can blend in, create contrast or add a pop of color to your home’s exterior. (Laura painted her Southgate Houston home front door green!…then black). If you aren’t someone who loves bright colors, you might prefer a front door in a muted hue or darker color. You can never go wrong with classic brown, but a dark gray or navy are great alternative color options.

For a neutral color that still makes a statement, consider a white front door. This white front door seamlessly blends in with the rest of the home’s exterior design. It creates a clean and crisp look that provides a beautiful backdrop for the lush greenery in the landscaping.

Don’t be afraid to design your front door to take advantage of your garden views. Choose a more open concept with glass panes to take maximize the view. For an unexpected look, use frosted or amber-colored glass in your front door design. It allows you to embrace the open view while still providing ample privacy.

3. YOUR FRONT DOOR OFFERS A PREVIEW OF YOUR HOME

Front doors can be traditional, contemporary, or even playful. They have the ability to make your guests feel warm and welcome, so they feel at home before they enter. For a modern home, customize a standard glass door and turn it into a work of art by adding an abstract design. Consider using a glossy finish or matching the color of the door to the flora in your landscaping.

A set of large, dark wood doors surrounded by Corinthian columns adds a grand and traditional feel to your entrance. It’s the perfect way to make guests feel like they’re going to be transported back in time. Frame your front door with greenery, topiaries, and hedges.

We simply adore this salmon-hued front door – so fun and chic!

 

For our University Place project, the exterior façade sets the tone for the California Casual aesthetic inside. Our team choose a deep blue hue for the front door design. Paired with the crisp white and clean lines, this front door welcomes guests into a luxurious yet livable family home.

FRONT DOOR INTERIOR DESIGN

The design of your front door says a lot about you and your home. You can use it to make a bold statement or a more subtle one. It’s something you can dress up for the holidays, personalize, and use as the focal point of your landscaping. You can use it to add color, texture, and bring more natural light into your home.

Your front door makes an impression on your guests, so you want it to make a good one! It’s the first thing they see when they enter and the last thing they see when they leave. So don’t be afraid to give your front door a dose of your personality.

Modern interiors

Dark, light, bright, minimalistic, ethnic - today there are a lot of modern styles. Concrete elements, lots of plants, colorful details, unusual furniture, geometric lines, lots of white and natural materials — these are the signs that you can recognize a modern interior. The front door can both emphasize the style of the hallway, and become the main accent due to the contrast with the color of the walls.

Light interior and light door

Light doors fit well into the bright interior of the hallway. This combination does not give a contrast, and therefore the interior looks concise and complete. At the same time, if you choose an entrance door in a trendy design with an interesting pattern, geometric lines, they will become the main focus.

Light interior and dark door

A popular solution is to dilute the "beige" of the hallway with dark shades of the front door. This creates a contrast between the color of the walls, furniture and doors. At the same time, you can choose a front door with a modern pattern, combined with the overall style of the interior. Another option is to choose a more classic design to enhance the contrast.

Concrete interior and concrete look door

A characteristic element of modern interiors, for example, a loft, is various accessories and concrete-like finishes. A good solution is to fit an entrance door with an identical finish into the hallway. And if you highlight a part of the wall next to the door with a darker color, this will create a contrast. This means that the interior will not be boring, because the door will not merge with the walls.

The Torex range also includes dark shades “under concrete”.

Entrance door with hallway design

Another interior solution is to combine the design of the door with the design of the hallway with the help of accessories. For example, as in the image below, where the circles on the door panel are combined with the clock. The color of the finish "under the tree" echoes the nightstand. This "chip" makes the interior more interesting and thoughtful.

Plant motifs in the interior

You do not always want to cross the design of the door and hallway. For example, floral motifs in the interior are now popular. A simple option is to choose a neutral door without a pattern or with a floral ornament. But it's obvious. An interesting solution is to create a contrast between floral motifs with the geometric lines of the door. This combination is often used by fashion designers and stylists.

Ethnic style in the interior

Ethnic and exotic in the interior is a real trend. Many only add bright accessories in ethnic style - Japanese vases, Chinese lanterns, leopard rugs and blankets. And in this case, choosing the front door is easy. But what if the ethnic ornament is placed directly on the walls, and they themselves are painted in bright exotic colors?

Here it is worth choosing a neutral classic design of the front door. Strict straight lines, a light shade of decoration will not draw attention to themselves, will not create excessive variegation.

2. Classic interiors

Classics in the interior is also multifaceted and varied. And often it requires even more taste and attention to combinations of elements. Strict lines, exquisite furniture, "expensive" materials and finishes, gilded accessories, mirrors in massive frames - this is how we easily recognize the classic style.

Light classic interior and dark classic door

A classic light interior with a lot of beige can be "diluted" with a dark front door with a noble "wood look" finish and a strict geometric pattern.

Classic interior and modern door design

Often you want to deviate from the “classic” rule in the interior = a classic door in the opening. Beautiful classic interiors are also well suited to more trendy finishes of entrance doors. Of course, you should not choose a clear high-tech and bright color. But trendy glazing and restrained geometry will only emphasize the interior of the hallway.

If there are a lot of gilded elements in the hallway, such as lamps, candles, mirrors, this will balance the design.

Bright classic interior

How to balance the rich color of the walls? The answer is quite simple - choose a neutral shade of the door that will blend perfectly. In the image, green walls, gilded picture frames, blue furniture in the image take a lot of attention. And the woody noble shade of the door soothes the eye.

Entrance door with mirror

Another option is an entrance door with a large mirror. The mirror visually expands the space in the hallway and gives more light.

3. Entrance and interior doors in the same style

Both in modern and classic interiors, the trend is a combination of entrance and interior doors. The same finishes of interior doors, which exactly repeat the entrance door, give the interior completeness and accuracy.

Now we produce not only entrance doors, but also interior doors under the BAFA brand. These are high-quality doors made of natural materials, beautiful, reliable and durable. And most importantly, they completely match the finishes of our front doors.

The variety of design will allow you to choose a door for any interior - classic, modern, ethnic, minimalistic. Use unusual combinations or choose proven solutions. We have a huge space for creativity for you.

And we, on behalf of the entire Torex company, congratulate all women on March 8 and wish you creative inspiration, good luck in business and good mood!
