Door dealers and installers can help homeowners select, design and install doors that complement their home’s style. Exterior doors must be tough against the elements and easy on the eyes, while interior doors should match the décor and architectural style of each room.
Sidelights are panels of windows that frame your entryway doors. They let sunlight flood into your living spaces and make them feel bigger and brighter.
Contemporary
Whether you’re looking for the elegance of French doors or the space-saving functionality of sliding options, there are numerous door replacement styles to meet your home needs. The right doors will enhance your property’s appearance and increase its value while offering comfort, security and energy efficiency.
Contemporary doors utilize on-trend materials and clean lines for a luxurious, high-end feel. They often come in bold hues such as navy blue or dark greys that complement modern paint colors and exterior designs. Decorative crossbuck details add ornate appeal to double French doors, while rustic options pair well with cottages and bungalows for relaxing pastoral vibes.
Sliding doors are a practical option that feature expansive glass panes to connect indoor spaces with outdoor areas. They have sleek frames and move horizontally along a track, allowing you to enjoy unobstructed views without compromising privacy or security. Many doors in this style are available with energy-efficient features, such as insulated cores and double or triple glazing, to reduce heat transfer and lower utility bills.
Modern

Door dealers can help them find exterior and interior doors that are tough against the elements, easy on the eyes and functional for each room in their home.
Farmhouse
Farmhouse style doors complement cottages, bungalows, and homes with relaxing, pastoral vibes. Natural wood accents and light neutral colors provide classic charm to the exterior of farmhouse-style houses. Double doors with crossbuck details, carved detailing along the rails and stiles, and French doors all speak to this style’s architectural vernacular.
Design inspiration can come from a myriad of sources. Sometimes, it comes from the timelessness and familiarity of a storied historic home, or perhaps from the essence of an exotic destination. But for architectural designer Matthew Voelkel, the design of his clients’ new home in Old Mandeville came from right there at home.
JELD-WEN has a wide selection of exterior doors that fit the Farmhouse style. Explore our curated styles e-book to find the door that speaks to you. Then, choose coordinating hardware in brushed metal or matte black to provide contrast between the door color and your home’s trim and accessories.
Rustic
In the rustic style, simple designs and earthy colors set the tone. Rather than trying to make a room look polished, this design aesthetic embraces rugged beauty. This style can work well in homes that have been renovated from an older home or even new construction.
Rustic elements can also be paired with contemporary door hardware and finishes to create a cohesive look. The rustic color palette combines neutral hues with warm reds and browns to create a calming atmosphere. Using natural materials like raw woods and stone is another way to incorporate the rustic style into your home.
If you’re looking for a rustic design, consider an arched entry door. These doors can add a beautiful focal point to any home, especially in large foyers and living or dining rooms. They’re also a great option for kitchens with rustic cabinetry. You can choose from a range of door sizes and glass configurations to match your farmhouse vision.
