Need help with front entry door

2 years ago

I need a new front entry door and am considering either a Thermatru or Provia fiberglass door. I like the craftsman style similar to photo 1. But my interior doors have raised panels like photo 2. This is actually a photo of my hall closet door which is line with the interior of the front door. A picture if my house is photo 3. Do you think it would look okay to have the shaker style panel door so close to the raised panel closet door?
All other doors in house are raised panels.

    I forgot to add I definitely want some glass in the door to add some light to the dark hallway. I like the 1/4 lites.

    Provia is definitely the way to go. I think there will be no issues with a shaker front door and colonial interior doors personally.

    Cute house! Not a pro but would never think a front door has to match the interior door(s). What does seem important is doors complementing the style of the house. I think it can look nice when the glass in the door mimics the glass in the windows, such as the three lites across in photo 1.

    What a beautiful home!

    I think it's fine to choose whatever style you like. I do like the craftsman style w/the glass panels.

    I saw this one too w/the leaded glass.


    this style is also nice (and the coral color would look great on your house)


    I'd seriously consider doing a bold color choice. your house is the perfect candidate for a door that stands out.



    some address numbers would also look good under that light, or vertical on the other side

    So, I went a little crazy w/the photoshops of diff style doors and colors. I'll split it in two comments. lol


    coral color is similar to the picture above. this door is almost full glass, more of a vintage style door. I also like the soft pink color w/the blue and white.


    compliment the beds w/pink flowers and some blue pots


    same color pink, but in a vintage style dutch door. I think this works on your home too




    A deep orange/red , like the one pictured above by MM, would look nice with this style door


    complimentary bold colors to the navy


    with the blue shutters and white siding, this deep pink would be a statement. plant some matching impatiens or begonias around the flower bed


    or hydrangeas


    Or, go for an orchid color. I love this one


    similar color shown on two diff door styles. I like either one.




    softer yellow


    the day lilies would compliment those yellow tones.


    Last of the bold color choices, turquoise.


    This door style would really compliment your interior doors, if you think you need that . but as you can see, any of these styles pair nicely w/your exterior

    Now for the more muted colors. similar style doors as above.




    dutch door to match the shutters. it's meh. I like the door if it was a bold color


    Better. a light spring green color could work. dog optional




    nice door, blah color


    the door is pretty, the soft sage color door is too blah.


    soft aqua shade w/vintage door handle and more of a vintage style door



    Forgot one of the bolder blue doors. Try SW Lupine.

    Thanks Beth! I love these ideas. I especially like the first one, the dark teal one. I had actually thought I would do a dark blue or navy, something that would go with the shingles. But the colors look good. Do you have any idea who manufactures the aqua door ( the last of the bold color photos? ). I like that style.

    I would not notice that the closet door and the front door were different styles.


    I like the coral door. Someone in our neighborhood has a white house with black shutters and a coral door. They put coral and white impatiens and geraniums in their garden every year. It looks fabulous.

    this one?


    no, I don't, but any door company could probably make this for you. Or, if you find a solid wood vintage door like this, you could take it to a glass shop and have the glass panels put in.

    I like this door better. and love the coral. what Singrid said about the black shutters and flowers would be perfect on your house

    this one is SW Coral Reef





    slightly darker shade done on a diff style of door. again, you could pop out the top two panels and put in glass. but I'm sure you can buy one like this.








    I also like the lime/chartreuse shade, the orchid, the daffodil yellow, or some of the bolder, cooler gem tones. don't forget more flowers.

    I see some shade in those beds. the coral impatiens would be perfect there


    I really love this door (the glass matches your windows) and color too. lots of lavender impatiens
