A rustic design generates a rough look to your door, almost as if the door has been aged. People usually relate this look to a visual of a cottage or farm. These doors can transform your home into a look that you simply cannot take your eyes off of. Even though iron is resistant to time deterioration (which is needed for a rustic look) there are a large variety of door colors that can give your iron door the look needed for the rustic style. Although these rustic style doors aren’t for every home design, they can be the difference between a nice appeal to the house and making an incredible first impression before you enter the door. So if you’re looking for a look that simply radiates natural aged beauty, look no further than a rustic style iron door. 

Arched (Eyebrow) Doors

Stand out from the rest with an eyebrow door. This unique style incorporates a design that separates itself  by adding an arch at the top of the door. While this change may seem minor, it makes all the difference when you see the finished product. With the different geometrical shape of the door comes an additional door frame option that you can add to an eyebrow door. While the large majority of doors have square frames, an eyebrow door gives you the option of either a square or arched frame. With the options of these doors the amount of design options is limitless, especially with a custom manufacturer.

Double Doors

As the saying goes, “Go big or go home”, if that is something you agree with then I have some new for you! Double doors are a great place to show the personality of your household. While most single doors average about 42” x 96”, double doors average about 72” X 96”. This size increase can put an emphasis on how your interior house will look. With most custom door manufacturers, these doors are highly customizable due to their larger “canvas” to work on. While these doors can be a bit more expensive than you single doors, there are various pros that can actually benefit this type of investment. For example, studies according to the Houzz blog post on boosting resale value has shown that upgrading your front entry doors can help you sell your house by adding curb appeal to your home. Not looking for an entry door? Awesome! Double doors are commonly used as patio doors. With a multitude of options that offer both transparency and style to work with your backyard.

Double Arched (Eyebrow) Doors

While on the subject of double doors, you can increase curb appeal with eyebrow double doors. These doors are primarily used as a front entry door rather than a patio or exterior door. However that does not take away the fact that these doors are stunning. 

Wine Cellar Doors

No matter which design option you choose, you can never go wrong with a wine cellar door to bring luxury to your home. Much like front entry doors, wine cellar doors are offered in different styles to bring out any type of look you would like to show within your household.

Bi-fold Doors

Bifold doors can give your home the best possible look of elegance and refined taste. Primarily used for patio entrances, bifold doors operate by folding itself toward either side of the walls. Usually bifold doors incorporate a large surface area of glass so you have a great view of the backyard or patio.

Using linear steel material, bifold doors can have various design options that are highly customisable. 

Gothic Doors

Gothic doors incorporate a style highly popular in Europe. To give your home an aesthetic similar to an older european cathedral, we suggest looking into a gothic style door to help you obtain such a one-of-a-kind look. Complete with the traditional gothic style arch, these doors can give you as much natural light as possible while preserving the tall structure normally seen in churches or cathedrals.

Many people do not think about their front entrance as an important factor of their home. However doors can be the string that truly ties the entire look together.
