Make an Immediate Impression with a Great Front Door
I work as a blogger for businesses although I do a variety of different types of writing. I particularly enjoy writing about all aspects of design and creativity. I think that your home should reflect your personality and that it should change as you change. More about me at www.kathrynvercillo.com and http://diaryofasmartchick.com.

The front door of your home is a place that you may or may not pay a lot of attention to. The people who come to your home won't necessarily notice it. However if you do choose to make your door stand out then they will certainly pay attention to it. A great front door can set the tone for your entire home's decor style. Or it can be a statement piece that gets noticed right away when people first arrive at the house.
A unique front door can be designed in many different ways. It can be painted with a beautiful design. It can be built using interesting glass paneling and carved wood. It can be crafted from rare materials. Or it can simply by styled in a way that people aren't used to seeing. Whatever style strikes your fancy could be the one that makes sense for your front doorway.
Here's a collection of some of the most interesting front door designs here on Houzz.

| There is nothing subtle about this front door. However it's not garish either. It's a great design in a two-tone color. It has an interesting texture to it because of the shape of the door panels. It's eye catching, interesting and stylish. |

| The door here is interesting. By itself it would be a unique piece with its slightly asymmetrical glass panels. However the effect is enhanced to an impressive degree with the vertical glass windows that mirror the door's look. You know that something interesting is happening inside of this home! |

| Do you want people to be able to see that your house is yours as soon as they pass by it? Putting your number on the front door is the best way to do that. Choose an interesting font against a boldly-colored door and you've got a front entrance that really says something. |

| What an interesting front door design here. The inverted trapezoid glass, the decorative centerpiece and the unique hardware combine to create a front door unlike any other. |

| Double doors are unusual on a front entrance but they can be a really fascinating way to go with your design. These doors are particularly interesting because of the rare pattern and the unusual coloring of them. |

| Here's another example of a double-door entrance. I like the symmetrical design of this one. I think that's a great way to go when using a large entrance on your home. |

You don't have to choose a style of door that is radically different from others for it to be a door that is visually interesting. A classic wooden door can catch you off guard with its beauty when paired against a different type of wooden wall at the entrance to your home.

| Here's a wooden door that doesn't have a very ornate design but its design is fascinating nonetheless. The five simple wooden windows make this door stand out as more intriguing than the rest. |

This door is rather plain. However it opens in a manner different from your usual hinged front door. This makes it a little bit surprising which definitely makes an impression on people as they enter the home.

This door incorporates a lot of the other features of the great doors we've seen here. It's a double-door entrance. It's made from wood with glass paneling. It has a symmetrical design. But it's made to look more metallic and modern than your average wooden door. It's a great twist on what could be done in a classic design.
