Contemporary Exterior Doors
Contemporary exterior doors are recognizable by their sleek, straight lines and geometric details. You won’t find a lot of scroll work, artistry, or embellishment here.
Modern styles typically emphasize a minimalist approach to exterior designs. This type of door is most appropriate on a contemporary home and will look starkly out of place on a historic dwelling.
Key Characteristics
Modern doors are often oversize and may be easier to install when you’re first constructing a home than when you’re making updates. Look for these defining features:
- — Long, straight door handles
- — Square or rectangular glass panes
- — Bold circular shapes if curves are used
- — Steel or fiberglass slab construction
Black and white are common colors for modern doors, coordinating perfectly with contemporary home exteriors. Modern double doors add a striking pop of interest that’s sure to draw the eye of those passing by.
