Custom Homes: The Front Door is a Home’s First Impression

What do you think is the first thing people see when they look at your home? You might say it is the paint colour, the landscaping, or the architectural style – but the answer is actually your EXTERIOR DOOR. Most homes have their front doors as the main focal point so naturally, the eye is drawn to this feature first.

 

Remember, the colour and style of your front door says a lot about you than you possibly think. It is actually a portal to your personality. First impressions last – and this is applicable even in homes.

 

Front Doors: How They Impact Your Whole Home

Want to make a great first impression? Invest in a great front door! Here are several reasons why you should not ignore this essential home design feature:

 

Your Personality, Your Style

Some people think that only one or two door styles work with rest of the home’s design – a common misconception. Doors with different styles, shapes, colours, and sizes can actually be mixed and matched to give a home some real personality. The door can serve as a point of contrast, or it can also complement the look of the rest of your home. You can also have your door fit in with the look of the rest of your neighbourhood, or you can simply have it stand out from the rest!

 

Curb Appeal and Value

A front door is a focal point, so when you are selling your home, keep in mind that prospective buyers will immediately see it. If you have a great looking door, your home will instantly have curb appeal and it will make the other features of your exterior look better by proximity. Not that your front door alone will sell your home, but it certainly helps if you have a great one. If you are not planning to sell your home anytime soon, that’s not a problem! Having a quality front door adds lasting value to any home that will translate to a higher asking price someday.

 

Sense of Security and Solidity

Front doors are designed to invite people and to keep people out. A quality door can either attract the attention of neighbours and buyers, and it can also deter the attention of burglars. Remember, front doors are still a common point of entry for home intruders. If you have a door that looks old and worn-out, thieves will think that your door can be easily breached. A strong, solid door, on the other hand, gives your home that sense of being carefully protected.
