How to Make a Statement with Your Entryway

Your entryway welcomes family and friends into your Burlington home and sets the tone before anyone walks through your front door. A perfectly designed entryway will be eye-catching and compliment the style of your home.

If you are looking for some ways to enhance your home’s curb appeal with your entryway, consider the following suggestions.

Choosing the Correct Door Style

When you want to make a statement with your front door, choosing the right style of door system is very important. There are a variety of different styles we offer such as Craftsman, Shaker, Traditional, Modern and Rustic Modern doors. When choosing the style of door you should look at the style of your house so that the door flows.

Choose the Right Door Colour

Deciding what colour to paint or stain your front door can be overwhelming. It is important to consider your home’s age, style, and exterior finish when making a choice. A bold colour might look well-suited and charming on one house and completely unsightly on another. Take a walk around your neighbourhood to see what colours are popular and which ones might also coordinate well with your home.

When Rick stops by to take exact measurements he will discuss and help you choose colour with you. He will bring a variety of paint and stain colour samples and will suggest the right colour for your house. When choosing colour he normally takes a look at your shingle colour and brick or siding colour.

It’s All in the Details

If you are constructing a completely new entryway, there are unique options beyond a standard front door. An arched front door, for example, can add a custom look and set your home apart.

A tall 8-0 door stands out as a grand and custom look- stepping away from the standard 6-8’ doors all your neighbours have. An 8-0’ door is an option you can go with if you have a transom on your existing door system.

Transoms and sidelights are also beautiful features that can enhance entryways. These are narrow windows that flank the top and sides of your front door. They allow additional light to pass into the foyer of your home, and they also create the appearance of a larger and grander entryway.
