Exterior Entry Design Dilemma

front door help

7 years ago

I hate the color of my front door. It’s very dark in the entry of the foyer so I want a new front door I think with windows to leave in light. Also I would like a screen door on the front so I could have a breeze from the front of the house in the nice weather. I’m looking for ideas.

A dark orange or red would blend well, yet stand out.

I think a nice warm orange color would look great with the browns and stone. I would not add storm or screen doors, it would detract from the nice doors. How about one of those retractable screen door that are hidden when not being used?

I would go with a bright red door.

I am thinking perhaps a retractable screen if I can find something big enough for a double door. I really want some windows in the door so I’m thinking of rectangles of frosted glass.
