You don’t need to have a grandiose front door to make a great first impression. Something simple can do that too. The wooded front door with dark finish above is a good example of beautiful simplicity.

Rustic Front Door
What kind of door completes a rustic-style entrance? That’s right. A rustic front door. A rustic front door can work well with other styles, but it works best with an entrance with rustic style.

How can you make a front door more appealing? There are many ways to do so. One of them is to add glazes on both sides of the door.
Want to make it even more appealing? Paint the glazes with a color contrasts to the door’s color. For example, if the door is painted gray, the glazes should be painted white.
