"You get a view of our new open floor plan kitchen, front-room, etc."................

Where is that plan please?

Very sorry. But the rendering looks like something meant for a mudroom entry at the rear/garage entry of the home, and NOT the front.

Please post your interior first floor plans.

The current condition and the remodel plan. I'd like to see a much better option than your rendering is suggesting. Which is..not good.

Yes, I realize you only asked about the door: )

I honestly do not like the whole idea for the main entry to your house .It looks like a mud room . Who uses the entry ? I need to see the whole entry in pics posted here in comments DO NOT start another post . I like double doors if the house can handle them . I always like glass in my front door for both light and looks usually. We need more info to really advise and IMO you need to get that help before proceeding with this plan I think a coat closet is a great choice for an entry I do not however think what you are planning is a good look for the entry of a home. So post some more info here as to whay this plan.

I'm not clear on the layout and pictures. Is it the front entry? We changed one of our doors from an inswing to an outswing door, and love it! Not sure if that would be a possibility in your situation.

Make sure the style of your door complements the style of your home. You have posted a 6-panel Colonial door that is really best used on a Colonial-style home. If your home is of a different style consider a more appropriately designed door.

I agree with the other that the built-ins you show at the entrance are really better suited for a mudroom and not the foyer in a home. Your foyer is the first chance to make a good impression. The space should be a bit less utilitarian in style.

Two sidelights or no sidelights. If no sidelights, I would consider a 42" door.

I have a visceral dislike of single sidelights. Doesn't matter how wonderful the house and landscaping is, a front door with a single sidelight is all I see. Major yuck factor.

If/when you get past the good advice to post the remodel plan, for the not great idea of mud style at the front door?

You may get some good alternatives to that plan. : )

Do you not have a coat closet near the front door? I don't see one in the pictures.

Do you routinely use the front door to enter & exit?

Household size, # of bedrooms, climate?

Asking because a 21" wide and presumably 24" deep 'coat cabinet' probably won't be useful enough to justify the expense. This is a configuration that I would expect to see in a studio sized apartment. A real coat closet should be at least 28" deep.

If you have a closet around the corner, I would suggest using just a bench in the entry area for changing footwear. A closed bottom bench with storage underneath for stashing shoes.

We currently have a somewhat free standing coat closet that you see as soon as you enter the home (ie right in front of the door, pictured). We will be removing that to allow for the open plan on entry level.

Right now we sometimes leave via front door, sometimes via garage door. Post remodel we hope that will shift to garage but unclear.

Appreciate the guidance. We will likely move away from the cost cabinet and boot bench and instead just do a shoe rack and coat hooks there. This has the side benefit of making front door selection much simpler (36” door with two side lites will fit easily).

Well, you often never know what you don't know until its too late. Good luck with the project. :) Think about what you want to SEE through two sidelights. Hooks and coats and boots?

Sure. The nice thing about this approach is we can try it out and just not install the hooks if we dont like how it looks. Much more flexible than the cabinetry.

We plan to get obscured glass in the lites.
