The Most Popular Front Door Trends Of 2023
If you’re considering installing a new front door, you’ll be faced with a huge selection of options the minute you start browsing. Do you replace like for like, take a risk with a brand new design, or simply switch up the colour? You have a few decisions ahead of you, so to make things a little easier, we’re here to provide some expert advice.
At Flying Doors, we’re knowledgeable providers of all sorts of exterior and interior doors — from front doors to French doors — so we have plenty of insights to share. While we’ve seen the products that have remained popular for years, we also know which doors have been flying off the shelves in the last few months. To help you decide on an on-trend yet timeless addition to your home, here are the most popular front door trends of 2023.
On-trend door materials
When it comes to choosing the material of your new door, there are options like wood, steel, and uPVC — all of which have their unique advantages and disadvantages. Still, time and time again one of the most popular door types that we see people going for is composite.
Composite doors
As the name would suggest, composite front doors are made from a combination of materials to give the door various beneficial properties. Made from materials like wood, foam, and uPVC, these doors offer incredible benefits when made to a high-quality by a professional manufacturer. While the wood gives the door a fantastic strength (the same strength that makes standard wooden doors so attractive), the addition of uPVC makes the door waterproof and better able to withstand harsh outdoor elements. Add some insulative foam into the mix and you have one thermally insulated door.
Composite doors also blend seamlessly with common side and back doors, like single uPVC doors, as well as uPVC windows. You can make them match as you please by selecting matching or complementary coloured doors, helping you expand on your home’s existing exterior aesthetic.
While composite doors that incorporate some double glazing, like this front door with two small glazed panels, have always been classic options, we’re seeing a boost in popularity with our slightly more unique shapes as we enter the middle of 2023. Composite doors with single diamond windows add a simple touch of personality to the front of your home, while doors with three diamond windows provide an eye-catching design that works well with contemporary homes.
More glazing also equals more light. So, even if diamonds aren’t your shape of choice, if you’re looking to maximise the bright, airy feel of your home with your front door, go for a design that incorporates multiple glass panels (or one large one). This four square front door is a trendy option that would suit most home types, while this chic front door with a floor-length glass panel will let as much light into your home as possible (all while preserving your privacy).
uPVC doors
uPVC front doors are also a classic option for those looking for something reliable and secure yet cost-effective. Simple designs like our Cannock uPVC Front Door with a top domed glass detail remain as popular as ever, but our Birchden uPVC Front Door is also perfect for homeowners wanting some classic detail in their entryway.
While most well-made doors will last for a long time (whatever type of material they are made from), you’ll also want to make sure you buy your new doors from a manufacturer that offers a good guarantee, just in case anything goes wrong. We offer a 10-year guarantee on our doors, plus a hassle-free return service. We find it helps our customers feel extra reassured in their purchase decisions — which is always an important thing when buying home fixtures!
Best front door colours
You might have a gut instinct when it comes to choosing your front door colour — you might love your current shade or be ready to mix things up — but it’s always worth looking around at what’s out there. Here are some door colours we’ve clocked as particularly popular in 2023.
Anthracite Grey
Grey is a fantastic middle-ground colour for those who like the classic, neutral feel of black, but want something less harsh and heat absorbent. The chalky tone of Anthracite Grey exudes a modern vibe and looks good with other bolder colours you might have on the exterior of your property.
Most of our doors are available in a beautiful anthracite grey. Take a look at how it looks on this front door or select for grey on our other options.
Earthy Greens
Soft, earthy greens started to gain traction in 2020 but remain just as popular this year, showing them to be a strong option that isn’t likely to drop out of fashion anytime soon. Our Chartwell Green is the perfect example of a popular neutral green, and it’s also an option for most of our doors.
We think this adaptable, calming colour looks beautiful with homes that have surrounding foliage and period or listed properties that already have a timeless feel. We love that it adds an uplifting appearance to any entrance — it’s definitely one to consider.
Duck Egg Blue
Another top colour for 2023 is Duck Egg Blue — another muted, earthy shade that creates a sense of comfort and tranquillity. We think it’s an ideal choice for those who want something more vibrant than flat black or white. Sophisticated yet friendly, classic yet fresh — what’s not to love?
A note on following the trend
Even though it can be tempting to always adhere to the latest trends (in everything from fashion to homeware), your doors will be a fixture in your home for more than a few seasons. Most front doors last for at least 30 years with a touch of maintenance here and there, so make sure you choose a door that you think will be right for your home for years to come.
Consider everything from style and colour to privacy and security of your door. Plus, think about how your new front door could boost (or work against) your property’s kerb appeal if you want to eventually sell your house. You’ll only want to make this decision once, so take your time to feel confident in your choice.
