13 front doors with captivating designs that will get your home noticed

It is often said that the entrance to a home is a bit like a calling card for the whole house, the one that first gives the impression on anyone who enters (or passes by) our abode. Given this, having a well-designed, attractive front door should be a priority.

Modern doors tend to be basic but elegant, with smooth surfaces in wood, glass or metal. But there's always room for a little creativity too. Check out the ideas below:

There is a trend that has become increasingly popular in modern homes recently: having a large entrance, with the main door flanked or even surrounded by glass panels. These panels are, of course, fixed and thick, to ensure safety and adequate thermal insulation.

The lines of the doors are usually geometric and sober, because of the material chosen to clad them with. The most popular is wood, but nothing prevents you from using metal - and even brass can look fabulous.

A combination of wood, steel and glass is the most common type used, and there are a thousand different models available to suit any taste.

There are doors with a single leaf of normal size; there are also very large ones two leaves and with glass panels inserted into the wood.

The choice of handles is also important, and the options available here are almost endless.

Colors: certainly, most of the time, doors are colored neutral, natural, or perhaps tend towards darker shades. But why not consider using a bright and vibrant shade - like a deep, rich yellow? 

Pastel colours, or similar: there are so many shades available in pastels that you will certainly find one that suits you.

Sometimes, you'll find a door that appears to have holes in it. It might seem absurd on paper, but they look great in real life!

Wood and metal can "play" together by intersecting on the door, instead of being kept distinct and separate.

Some people can come up with amazing designs doing DIY projects.

Sometimes, an old, boring door can once again command attention just by being painted. And not simply with a homogeneous coat of paint, but perhaps with a striking image or picture.

Colorful jigsaws: have you ever considered this for a decoration style for a door?

Trompe l'oeil: there are those who paint details on doors that seem almost real!
