Front Door Trends You Should Know

Bigger, bolder and brighter are among the top front door trends showing up in neighborhoods. Check out our top front door ideas to update your entryway.

Bigger Doors

As you consider replacing your front doors, bigger front doors and double leaf entry doors have grown in popularity for a grand entrance to your home. The look also makes a home’s curb appeal pop. At Marvin Replacement, we proudly carry TruStile®, a Marvin® brand, for a widely customizable selection of entry systems with double doors.

More Light

Looking for more natural light in your front entryway? Choose from a variety of transom and sidelites to easily add more natural light. Transoms and sidelites can come in decorative styles for additional design interest. Marvin Replacement offers decorative glass options, like Frost, Obscure, and Rain, to balance natural light and privacy.

Coastal Style Entry Doors

Opt for more natural light with a coastal-style front door, featuring more windows than other entry doors. Coastal doors tend to come in lighter earth tone, on-trend colors with lighter colored hardware, but work best with homes that have coastal design elements.

Farmhouse Style Doors

Farmhouse doors showcase natural wood, exude a rustic charm, and often feature dark hardware.

Farmhouse doors remain popular and let natural light into a home through elegant design. TruStile’s Modern Farmhouse doors use sidelites and transoms to increase natural light while showing off sleek design lines.

Off-Center Front Door

Off-center front doors sometimes appear with contemporary style home. You can also see them in homes with porches and split-level entry homes. Off-center entry doors create unique looks and draw your eyes to different parts of a home. Since front doors often appear in the center of a home to create symmetry, a door that’s off-center draws your eye away from the center of a home.

Front Door Colors

Your front door offers a first impression of your home and the right color can make a house look stunning. Picking the right front door color depends on what color scheme you have for your exterior but consider these colors that have become on trend.

Black Front Doors

Black doesn’t seem like an appealing front door color on the surface, but it provides a timeless look that can complement several door styles, especially farmhouse entry doors.

Red Front Doors

Red has the longest wavelength in the color spectrum and certainly catches the eyes. It works especially well on front doors and sets a welcoming feeling. Red can also complement your landscaping for added visual appeal.

Light Green Front Doors

Benjamin Moore, Sherwin-Williams, and PPG all picked light shades of green for their colors of the year in 2022 because the colors symbolize a rebirth, like the spring season. The soft green colors also fit into a theme of sustainability and green initiatives.
