Knock, knock! Who’s there? Actually, no one! Maybe that’s because your front door isn’t an invitation to come on inside. Don’t underestimate the power of a fabulous front door — it’s front and centre when it comes to personal expression and making a good first impression, agree the experts. “A front door makes a statement and sets the tone for the rest of the house,” says Colin Fraser, president of Amberwood Doors Incorporated, a Canadian company. “It offers a glimpse to what’s inside, and who’s inside.” Making a grand entrance is worth investing in; a beautiful entry door will immediately improve the value and appearance of your home, says Fraser, who specializes in custom wood doors, in mahogany and white oak, that combine beauty, durability and security. “The sophistication and elegance of a wood door can’t be matched.” Surveys show that an upgraded front entrance can add oodles of value to a home – up to five times the cost of the entry system. Elaine Griffin, a New York designer and author, agrees that eye-catching entry ways are an open and shut case. “Your front entry is the first thing people see when they drive by your house, whether they make it through the threshold or not," she said. “For pure vanity, you want to express your style and make a welcoming statement.” Plus, if you’re selling, “an attractive first impression will help potential buyers fall in love with it immediately.” Consider the outside of the house, and then choose from a wide range of striking designs, including modern, colonial, Victorian and Georgian. From solid wood to engineered wood, fiberglass and metal too, there’s something to suit every budget. Many door companies offer consultation services to help homeowners pick the perfect door. It’s not small investment, but it’s one that provides benefits for years to come – plus it’s something you see everyday. And don’t forget great door furniture – this is a crucial finishing touch. Install a coordinating kick plate, dynamic door numbers and a door knocker. “They’re the diamond earrings of your front door,” said Griffin.
