Your entryway is the focal point of your home, and a bold entry door can welcome guests and add instant curb appeal. It's important to choose an entry door that matches your home's style as well as your personality. Whether you have a cottage, traditional, craftsman or modern-style home, we'll help you find the perfect entry door for your space.

Cottage
Choose a fresh color for your cottage-style entry door to add interest and personality, or match the trim color of your home for a more consistent look. When choosing an entry door for your cottage-style home, look for wood or fiberglass doors that imitate the look of wood to keep consistent with classic style.

Traditional
Traditional homes combine elegance with timeless features and accents. These homes often feature solid wood entry doors with bold hardware and rich colors. Look for a paneled wood door to match your traditional home's classic look.

Craftsman
Rich wood brings out the artistic craft in this home style. These homes feature thick, wood entry doors with glass at the top 1/3 of the door. This "craftsman light" glass is a signature feature of the craftsman door— letting natural light into your home while adding a distinctive look.

Modern
Natural light and open, airy spaces are key features of a modern home. Look for a full light steel or fiberglass entry door, which features glass paneling from top to bottom to match this home's clean and functional look.
