blog-6-nextdoorDoors provide us security and protect us from the weather, but they can be so much more. Instead of thinking about your entry doors purely for their functionality, look at them as an art form. The proper use of size, door materials, and symmetry means your door will transform both your interior and exterior spaces into something beautiful. NEXT Door & Window shows you how:

Expand Your Door
Most residential doors come in one standard size: about three feet wide and seven feet tall. These dimensions provide adequate entry for most visitors and allow serviceable openness and privacy. Your entry door can be more than that. Consider extending the size of your doors in IL to reach the ceiling and touch the walls. This transforms your home’s sense of scale and makes your door grand and dramatic. With large amounts of stylish glass, you can use your door to create a seamless outdoor connection.

Match Your Door to Other Design Elements
Your doors don’t exist in a vacuum. They are a part of your home’s overall aesthetic, so take advantage of this and design your door as part of the whole. Match the material, color, and frame style of the door to your windows, furnishing, and paint to reinforce its beauty. When all aspects of your home’s design work with each other, they will create harmony.

Use Symmetry to Your Advantage
Symmetry is very eye-catching. To create proper symmetry, match the proportion of your Illinois doors to your window systems. This dissolves the boundaries between them and unites them into a single composition. Doors specifically constructed to room and window dimensions are strong statements of your intent and tastes in design.

These tips will make your entryways one of a kind.
