No matter what, your front door should make you proud.
Here at Monumental Windows and Doors, we offer a wide variety of high-quality doors to choose from. We know that everyone’s taste is different, which is why we offer such a selection. But if you’re still undecided, allow us to give you a few ideas.
Door Styles To Choose From
Before we go through our product options, let’s discuss home decor and design styles. Then you can mix and match your chosen style here with the perfect door or door system below.
Here are some options for home design styles:
Traditional Design
This is a style that has withstood the test of time for good reason. It features classic silhouettes, muted colors, and an overall feeling of elegance. Stick with traditional design if you want your home to feel warm and inviting.
Features of traditional design include:
- Brick fireplaces
- Antique furniture
- Oriental rugs
- Muted color palettes
Colors:
Neutrals such as black, white, or gray will give your home a timeless look. But if you want something with a little more personality, go for a pop of color like red or blue.
Transitional Design
This style is a mix of traditional and contemporary elements. It’s perfect for those who want a classic look with a modern twist.
Features of transitional design include:
- Clean lines
- Metallics
- Abstract art
Colors:
Transitional design usually sticks to a neutral color palette. However, you can experiment with different shades and tones to create a unique look. For example, you could try a light gray or beige for your walls with dark hardwood floors.
Contemporary Design
This style is all about clean lines and minimalism. If you want a sleek, modern look for your home, contemporary design is the way to go.
Features of contemporary design include:
- Sharp angles
- Geometric shapes
- Monochromatic color schemes
Colors:
Contemporary design usually features neutral colors like white, black, or gray. However, you can also experiment with bolder colors as long as they are used sparingly. For example, you could use a bright pop of color on your front door to make a statement.
Rustic Design
This style is perfect for those who want a cozy, comfortable feel in their home. It features natural materials and earthy tones.
Features of rustic design include:
- Exposed beams
- Stone fireplaces
- Natural wood furniture
Colors:
Rustic design usually features earthy colors like brown, green, or red. However, you can also use neutral colors like white or gray. The important thing is to stick with a color palette that makes you feel at peace.
Industrial Design
This style is perfect for those who want a modern, edgy look for their home. It features exposed pipes and concrete surfaces.
Features of industrial design include:
- Exposed brick walls
- Concrete floors
- Stainless steel appliances
Colors:
Industrial design usually sticks to a white and black-based color palette. However, you can experiment with different shades and tones to create a unique look. For example, you could try a light gray for your walls with dark hardwood floors or a black statement wall.
Home Decor Styles
Don’t forget the most popular home decor styles available, which can also heavily influence your door selections.
French Country Style
French country home style became popularized during the reign of King Louis XIV, when artisans began to emulate the ornate style of country homes in the French countryside. This design style is characterized by rustic antiques, natural materials, and a warm color palette.
If you want to bring a touch of French country style into your home, consider adding some antique furniture.
Farmhouse Style
Farmhouse style can be traced back to the homes of 18th-century farmers. This design style is characterized by its use of natural materials, simple lines, and a focus on functionality.
If you want to bring farmhouse style into your home, consider adding some rustic elements like reclaimed wood furniture or a stone fireplace.
Midcentury Modern Style
A newer option for interested homeowners, midcentury modern can best be described as a mix of vintage and contemporary elements. This style became popular in the 1950s and 1960s, and it is characterized by its use of clean lines and bold colors.
If you want to bring midcentury modern style into your home, consider adding some geometric patterns or unexpected pops of color.
Shabby Chic Style
Shabby chic is a popular design style that combines elements of vintage and rustic style. It is characterized by its use of distressed furniture, feminine details, and a soft color palette.
If you want to bring shabby chic style into your home, consider adding some vintage-inspired furniture or floral fabrics.
Coastal Style
And finally, there’s coastal style, which is perfect for those who want to bring the feeling of a beach vacation into their home. This style is characterized by its use of light colors, natural materials, and nautical accents.
If you want to bring coastal style into your home, consider adding some seashells, starfish, or other beach-themed decorations.
What style are you? If you can’t decide on just one, that’s okay too. A mix of styles in your home can make for an interesting and unique space. Remember, there are no rules when it comes to design — have fun with it!
