When it comes to transforming the look of your home, there are few changes you can make that are as easy and dramatic as choosing new entry doors. Your home’s doors are the biggest statements of style you can use to define your property, and elegant choices can utterly transform the place where you spend most of your time and welcome friends and family.
Consider French Doors for an Elegant Appeal
When it comes to aesthetic appeal, French doors – which are defined as a set of double doors that maximize light exposure – are the pinnacle. There’s a reason French doors are most commonly found in elegant, stately homes: they have an old-world classic feel to them and offer unparalleled access between your home and your outdoor areas. (And who hasn’t watched a period drama and dreamed of picking up a teacup and wandering from a dark interior into an airy garden?) Whether you choose a traditional, classic style or an updated look for a new millennium, French doors will help you make a stunning statement for front entryways and patios.
Materials Options for French Doors
While the basis for French doors remain the same across a multitude of styles, the options to go classic, understated, modern or even fun are nearly endless. French doors can be made of durable materials such as steel or fiberglass, and then finished in accordance with your desired style with smooth, modern textures or classic woodgrains to adapt to your design choices.
French Doors Enhance Indoor Light
One of the many reasons homeowners choose double French doors is that they maximize the natural light in the home or other buildings where they are installed. In the time before electric lighting, windows and doors were chosen specifically to extend the amount of daylight in a home. Today, while we have electrified options for lighting indoor spaces, French doors are still chosen to enhance natural light and create a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
Boosting Curb Appeal and Resale Value with French Doors
In addition to providing options for both style and function, French doors can elevate a home’s value in every way. In general, French doors are considered a high-end aesthetic feature in real estate, as they add a mix of class and sophistication to a property, improving its appearance and desirability. French doors are typically sought after by potential buyers; this makes them a popular choice for enhancing a home’s resale value.
