Make a Great First Impression: Front Door Inspiration
At Bud's Warehouse, we always have hundreds of exterior doors to choose from in store and online. We are constantly being asked about ideas of how to use a door or how to make a certain door look amazing. So, we are sharing our favorite fresh and creative front door ideas! Whether you're looking for a simple refresh or a bold transformation, our ideas range from quick DIY upgrades to more complex makeovers—so there’s something for everyone
Let’s start with paint! A paint job is an easy way to update your front door space without spending too much time and money.
Bud's stocks GreenSheen Paint, a premium latex paint that is eco-friendly and made with recycled content. It is good for the environment and created in many designer colors. Finding the right color for your front door that fits the look you want to portray can be a difficult task. We have some ideas for you:
- Bold Colors: Colors like yellow, red, and purple can provide a fun pop of color that brightens up the house.
- Subtle Colors: Looking for something less bold? Choose colors that exude calm for all that walk through your door. Colors like sage green, colonial blue, or grey can do the trick.
- Contrasting Color: Choose a color that makes your accessories and decorations pop. For example, a slate color contrasts well with seasonal decorations such as wreaths, pumpkins, flowers, etc.
If you're not looking to invest in a new door, you can still give your entrance a fresh look with accessories that highlight the door and lighting that complements. These simple updates are both easy and budget-friendly, offering a quick way to enhance your front door area.
Another way to add architectural features to your front door is to add stone veneer to create a decorative touch.
At Bud’s we have a wide array of outdoor lighting options as well:
- Craftmade Bronze Outdoor Light
- True Fine Spun Outdoor Light
- Quoizel Bronze Outdoor Light
- Transglobe Outdoor Wall Light
When it comes to doors, adding windows is a great way to bring in natural light and make your entrance more inviting. Sidelights or a transom window can brighten up your space without the need to replace a solid front door. For an even more open and welcoming feel, French doors offer a large entryway that invites guests right into your home. Additionally, doors with windows offer the perfect balance of security and natural light.
Here are some exterior doors, sidelights, and transom windows to check out at Bud's (even more available in-store):
