You’ve got the remodeling fever on. And you’re determined that nothing should stand in your way. Nothing, at least until shopping for a new door stumps you. No need to put the brakes on your remodeling project. There are all sorts of types out there. Read on for tips on how you can find the best one for you:
Decide if it’s an interior or exterior door
There are requirements for front doors that don’t necessarily apply to, say, a bedroom door or library door. So know where that door is going to go before you:
Choose a material
Pick out a door in the material you want. You could go with aluminum and steel for something sturdy. Fiberglass and wood are more common in homes than the other two, though.
Pre-hung or slab
Want the freedom to customize the hardware for your door in any way you wish? Get a slab door so you get complete control over your hardware as well as jamb choices. Want something that’s easy and ready to install at a moment’s notice? A pre-hung door is your best choice. It already comes with its own hardware as well as frame. A pro would be able to install it in no time.
Personality
Depending on the design you choose, you can express your own style and sense of personality through your doors. If your taste has always run to the simple and classic, craftsman doors are a solid option. Usually designed with glass panels—often in rows that could go up to three—and separated by a wood trim, these doors are a great addition to any modern home.
Color
Better Homes and Gardens suggests using the color wheel to help you find the best color combinations for your door and walls. While it might come across as cheerless, choosing black doors for actually come with a lot of benefits. It’s classy and instantly picks out dark colors in the room so there’s a chic and sophisticated feel to the space. Black also stands out. Imagine using it for your French doors. All that breathtaking views outside framed dramatically by your doors. That’s sure to make your living room a favorite among guests for a selfie-worthy shot.
So if you’re looking for doors, not to worry. With so many styles, colors and types available, you’re sure to find one that’s perfect for you sooner or later.
