Selecting the right front door for your home is crucial in setting the tone for your home’s style - whether it’s a contemporary or classic home. We take a look at a few great examples.

For a contemporary looking front entrance - go for a solid front door – either in timber or iron. There are a number of companies producing beautiful architectural doors - like Zen Doors and Corinthian’s new Elements range.

If you’re looking to bring in natural light, and privacy isn’t a concern, an option with glass like the one opposite works well. Paired with a statement brass door handle and lock, it really sets the tone for the inside of the home.

Currently oversized circle and arch door handles are on-trend for contemporary homes. Try Lo & Co Interiors for a quality range of front entry handles.

On a budget? Choose a simple plain profile door like the one above, and pair with a statement door handle and simple lock. For extra wow factor choose a bold paint colour.

When it comes to classic homes, a traditional-style door is the way to go. Obviously if you’ve been blessed with a good solid front door that’s in good condition, it’s always best to keep and restore. Sometimes a new coat of paint in a lovely colour can bring a door back to life, along with new door hardware and hinges. If your original front door is in need of replacing there are a few places to source from including Front Porch Properties who have their own line of classic-looking doors (pictured opposite and above).

If you’re wanting to allow natural light into your entry, choose a door with clear glass for maximum light. If privacy is needed, flemish or reeded glass can really complement the classic look.
