Top Front Door Trends & Styles
It’s an exciting time to be in the door industry! There's a whirlwind of styles, advancements, and color schemes sweeping through the front door scene. From classic elegance to modern innovations, doors are not just entryways but statements of style and security.

Replacing Your Exterior Door
There are several things to think about when you are replacing your exterior door. First, obviously, its what people see first. It’s the image your home projects. Do you want your image to be cracked paint, dents, outdated and not exactly secure looking? Of course not.

Beware of Improvement in Stages
Home improvement in stages may not be what you want. If you're thinking about breaking your next home improvement into stages, remember: colors and styles change for all home products, have a plan if an item becomes discontinued, be aware of trends in cabinet colors and styles, and remember, as wood ages, it develops a patina, so add those upper cabinets sooner rather than later.

Selecting an Exterior Door
Your front door reflects the style of your home but it also says, “welcome” and tells people a little bit about your personal style. It is the center point of the public’s first impression of your home. If you are working on a budget with your building or home improvement needs, consider ordering your entry door first because of the important first impression it makes. Sales associates at Marling Lumber can talk to you about wood versus fiberglass versus metal doors as well as specifics about glass. Here’s some information about trends and styles.
