<\/a>Let's start with a modern take on a classic. Smooth horizontal wood panels gain a contemporary update with a silky black handle guard that runs from top to bottom. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Here's a wood door formed from a solid sheet of veneer, integrated within matching boards that wrap around on the side and ceiling. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Doors that reach from top to bottom make entryways look larger than they really are. This one is especially interesting because of how the handle guard continues sideways with room for a mail slot. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Warm wood panels jump out from the neutral home exterior, horizontal matte black panels providing a little extra decoration. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Vibrant wood tones add natural character to concrete exteriors. Here, a matching walking path further differentiates the entryway from the paved parking and patio tiles. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>In the context of an industrial exterior like this one, a natural door can have an even bolder effect. This one has a textural exterior to stand in contrast with the concrete and steel that surrounds it. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>This classic door seems to float weightlessly between frameless sidelights. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Camouflaged within its bordering panels, this door makes a dramatic first impression by offering a surprising substantial and weighty look among a perfect glass-clad exterior. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Chevron wood panels are a nice break from the traditional horizontal or vertical wood planks. Fiery orange is a nice finish for a modern Californian home like this one. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Timber planks and alternating glass strips allow for guarded visual continuity, allowing sunlight to filter through an otherwise heavy-looking door. The long door pull is another interesting touch. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Incorporating artistic glass is another way to make a front door stand out. These textural sheets of glass coordinate well with the textural exterior of the home, and provide extra privacy that ordinary panels could not. Note that this door also opens on a pivot to save space on the interior. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Garden-facing doors don't need a lot of bulk, so something with glass panes like this is perfectly workable. It's the perfect solution for an entryway with a farmhouse vibe like this one. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Wow! These oversized atrium-height doors are breathtaking. Mechanized hardware allows designers to overlook the weight of the doors so the homeowners can go as big and bold as they want. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Deep rose tones ring with a traditional and sophisticated tone, while the brushed steel door guard incorporates modern styling. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>This Red Dot Design Award winner gains admiration for its enhanced security and keyless entry options as well as its distinctive styling. Exotic woods like the ones used here always catch the eye. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>The ideal door a minimalist exterior – this sleek and modern design uses uncomplicated modern materials, its stripes serving up just a touch of decoration for visual interest. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Wavy wood panels flow and interweave for an artistic effect. The ultra-tall and wide design opens on a pivot, making it stand out both in terms of looks and functionality. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>This part of the door tour takes us through several highly artistic and up-to-date options. This futuristic door incorporates a textured print on top of a cloudy finish. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Unusual materials can transform an ordinary front door into a true focal point. This one goes for a bold approach to texture, with stone-like panels varied by tint and height. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Designed by Deborah Aguiar and executed by Joinery Piñeiro, this door transforms ordinary wood panels into a daring sculptural arrangement. Even the mail slot plays an integral role in the design. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Laser carved doors give homeowners endless possibilities for self-expression. This floral imprint continues along the frame to either side to stretch its effect on the home's exterior. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Here's another laser carved door, this time featuring an aerial view of the client's home and neighborhood in the finest of detail. Its aluminum coating contributes substantial visual weight. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Even snake scale texture looks right at home on a modern front door. Edgy and elegant. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>This door combines cutout branches with a multi-tone finish for a perfectly up-to-date result. The handprint on the door pull is a neat idea, too. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Check out this flattering take on pane windows, with small squares of amber glass embracing an open view without compromising security. This would be a nice door for an updated take on a classic exterior. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Here's another take on tiny panes, this one with frosted glass to provide ample privacy while still retaining a bright and sunny appeal. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Are you looking for a way to incorporate natural themes without sacrificing your modernist aesthetic? This starburst pattern draws the eye immediately, its distressed bright blue paint keeping the personality nice and casual. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Screen doors can boast plenty of style too. Here, decorative strapwork creates a guarded but attractive boundary between the front door and the street outside. Fresh air filters right through to cool the home, but the hot sun doesn't get very far. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
<\/a>Designed by architect Dick Clark and constructed by Gary McFarland, this artistic door glows brightly from within thanks to the ethereal lights sandwiched between semi-transparent onyx panels. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>
