Door Styles for Every Home Style

A door doesn’t just offer protection from the elements, but it can also make a statement. From a classic panel design to geometric patterns and textured finishes, there are many choices to fit any home style.

Whether you live in a two-story Colonial home in Memorial Bend or a contemporary bungalow in West University Place, there’s an eye-catching door for you.

Modern

If you are looking for a modern look for your home, there are many options available. From solid wood doors to steel doors, there is something for everyone. You can even customize your door with glass windows or hardware to really make it your own.

You can also choose a door with a higher U-Factor, which will help to insulate your house better. Since Houston has more warm weather than cold, a high U-Factor will keep the heat in your house during the summer and the cool air in during the winter.

ITALdoors offers a number of sliding closet door options that can complement any living space in your home. There are bypass doors, swing doors, and bifold doors, each of which has its own unique benefits and features. Every door package is comprehensive, ensuring a smooth installation process. This includes the door panel, frame, casings, concealed hinges, magnetic lock, and Italian door handle. Each of these is available in a wide selection of finishes and colors to suit your taste.

Colonial

Colonial homes are a popular choice for homeowners who want to preserve the traditional elegance of their home. They have a classic, symmetrical design with a front door that is centered and flanked by equal numbers of windows on both sides. These windows are usually multi-paned and often framed with louvered shutters.

They are typically two stories tall, although gable or gambrel roofs can be found on some colonial houses. Pillars and columns often frame the entrance, creating a stately entryway. The symmetry of the windows and shutters is one of the most recognizable characteristics of colonial homes.

This traditional style of home is a testament to the early settlers’ practicality and European design influences. Its symmetrical structure emphasizes balance and offers ample living space. The home’s exterior can be made from wood, brick or other types of siding. Fiberglass doors with a wood-look finish are an ideal complement to traditional home architecture. They offer the beauty of hardwood without the maintenance.

Traditional

Wood doors are a classic choice, but they require a lot of maintenance in Houston’s humid climate. Fortunately, composite doors look like real wood but resist moisture, insects, and sun damage. They can be stained to look like a variety of wood species and are easy to clean.

You’ll see these doors on homes throughout Cypress, Pearland, and League City with traditional designs. They have flat surfaces with no raised elements, creating a sleek look. They come in a wide range of colors, including white and off-white, to match any home.

You can even get them with a low U-Factor, which helps keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. That’s important in our warm climate, where a higher U-Factor would cause your garage to turn into an oven. A door with a low U-Factor is also more energy efficient. You’ll find these doors on many homes in neighborhoods like Garden Oaks, Oak Forest, and parts of Spring Branch.

Contemporary

From the mansions of River Oaks to the row houses built across Houston’s wards, residential architecture in the city features a wide range of styles. Cantera Doors is proud to contribute to Houston’s diversity of residential design with our front entry steel and wrought iron door remodeling projects.

Modern decor began in the early 1900s, following on from more ornate Victorian styles and resulting in clean lines and minimal embellishments. Today, modern doors often feature a natural wood appearance and chrome or stainless-steel accents, though they can also sport a vivid pop of color.

Southern Front Door offers a selection of modern doors for homeowners looking to give their home an instant upgrade. Our solid wood doors are crafted by respected manufacturers like Therma-Tru and GlassCraft Door Company, so you can be sure that your new front doors will provide both durability and aesthetic appeal. Sliding closet doors also offer a sleek, contemporary look that suits many homeowners’ needs. Our sliding closet doors include bypass, swing and bifold options. Bypass doors slide effortlessly past one another, perfect for closets that need ample space.
