How to Make Your Front Door Have a Powerful Statement

Your front door is the first impression that welcomes your guest at your front entry. It also can add wow factor to a plain faced facade of your home. Front doors can tell a story, by using salvaged doors from other buildings, or they can be painted an eye-catching color to really make a statement about your lovely home. Here are some beautiful front doors I found that all make a loud and clear statement, and they do it with style!

This door is not Barbie’s Dreamhouse pink!

What better way to make a statement than with a nontraditional front door color? This salmon-pink door looks beautiful with the contrast of the neutral toned walls. Especially in the desert-like climate, tones of browns and grays can get boring. Love this pop of color to make guests want to take a peek inside your home.

Weathered front doors with a story…

I think creative use of shutters, old doors, salvaged materials and other materials around your front door can make a statement too. These weathered wooden shutters make the front entrance look like you are going into a French Country home that you will want to sit in every space and enjoy all the fine details of its decor.

Powerful and striking front door

Many homes command your attention from the street. Whether it is because of their size, materials, how they sit on the property, or even how you approach the front of the home. This door is powerful and striking and commands that you respect the home, the moment your feet step foot inside.

I love doors that tell a story before you enter the home

Rembrandt’s Door

This door had a caption under it on Pinterest, “The door of Rembrandt, in Amsterdam… “

Is there anymore to say?

How simply gorgeous is this aquamarine blue door?
