Your door is the first impression your home makes on guests and potential buyers, so it’s important that your front door gets the same love and attention that your interior scheme does.

Right now, statement front doors are a major trend. They can add colour and personality to an otherwise bland home, or amplify an already eye-catching façade.

We’ve pulled together a list of divine doors that will suit every taste or style to inspire your door makeover.

1. Timber

A front door made of beautiful timber in a rich brown stain pairs beautifully with black and white.

2. Victorian townhouse

Got a Victorian home with an interior to match? Bring your façade into the 21^st century with a bold front door in a bright colour.

3. Weatherboard

Take a weatherboard house to the next level by painting the exterior in a darker hue of blue or grey, then set if off with a pale pink timber door.

4. Contemporary

Is there anything more contemporary than a blac satin front door accented with gold hardware and custom lettering?

5. Minimalist

Clean lines and simple design with minimal flair is the perfect front door solution for minimalist homes.
