Minimalism is becoming an increasingly popular aesthetic trend among homeowners. This is evident in ultra-modern homes that feature sparse decoration and practical design.
This shift toward simplicity and sparse décor has had an opposite effect on one static component of the home, however: the doors. With the move toward minimalism, there’s now a bigger focus than ever on how doors look. Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania elaborates on the reasons below.
Because the facade of modern-style homes is typically sparse except for the windows and door, it’s up to these elements to set the stylistic tone for your home. To make your frontage impressive, start with the door.
As a general rule, the door should reflect your home’s architectural style. This is why we highly recommend hinged French doors. This kind of door is technically a “traditional” style, but the large windowpanes allow it to blend with more modern homes. It also gives your home an inviting vibe.
Patio doors are the go-to door style for modern homes and even some traditional houses. What’s attractive about this type of door is that it can double as a window when closed, allowing you to peer out into your backyard of exterior living spaces with near-unobstructed views.
Patio doors also extend your living space and serve as a static decoration that replaces a painting or another accessory that you would hang on a wall. These doors also offer ironclad security.
Sliding contemporary doors are another door style we want to recommend in place of the usual garden door. Just like patio doors, they give you unobstructed views of the outside and establish that seamless flow between your interior and exterior.
Fret not if you haven’t found the door you’re looking for yet. At Renewal by Andersen of Central Pennsylvania, we’re always ready to help you pick the best patio and sliding contemporary doors in Reading, PA. Give us a call at (717) 591-4900 for more information.
