Entry doors are one of the main focal points of any home. While they serve a functional purpose, they also have a huge impact on curb appeal. Depending on their design, they can make a home look warm and welcoming or cold and impersonal. This is all a matter of personal taste, of course, but if you want to customize your Atlanta entry doors, check out the following tips from Renewal by Andersen®:
1. Color
As far as color goes, there are a lot of great options across the spectrum. If you’re after something bold and fresh to wake up the neighborhood, go for a bright punch of color. But neutral colors can be equally beautiful. The main thing is to choose a finish that won’t fade easily.
2. Hardware
Decorative and functional hardware such as doorknobs, handles, locks, hinges and door knockers are a great way to customize an entry door. Brass and bronze are classic, elegant options. Matte black, pewter and nickel are also popular.
3. Glass
Patterned glass allows your entry door to let in light while obscuring vision for your privacy, making it a practical customization option for many homeowners.
4. Lighting
Front door lighting adds visual appeal and has the added benefit of acting as a deterrent against intruders. Fixtures are most often installed slightly above eye level on either side of the door frame.
5. Greenery
Putting potted plants around your door is an easy and eco-friendly way to beautify your home’s main entrance, but unlike the other options on this list, they will take some looking after.
