Home Decorating Design Dilemma

Door style for split level?

6 years ago

We are replacing our entry door and shutters.We need light so are going with full light door.I love the prairie 9 lite door but folks have said my home is traditional so I should go with the 15 lite.I am thinking black for door and shutters.What do y'all think?

IMO nothing traditional about your house except for the trellis at the entry which I think need to be removed. As for the shutters they are way too small and usually double windows do not have shutters So eihter get bigger ones that could cover the windows or leave them off. I lkke the door with the larger panes of glass and no to the 15 lite one at all. As for door color IMO black is abit severe for the house maybe a nice red .
