Door Design Trends for 2020
Designing your full-time home or your summer house takes a lot of attention to detail, with each element making or breaking the whole concept of your interior. Don’t neglect door design. Bold colors and nouveau patterns will dominate door design trends for 2020, so take a look at what’s in and out.
Dark Painted Doors
If you are adding an interior door, don’t be boring and just add a white door. Everyone does that! Instead, go bold and paint it a rich color that adds warmth and character to the space. Pair the door with attractive hardware to result in an overall artistic element for the room.
If dark painted doors are in for 2020, standard white doors and trim are OUT. Yes, most interior doors are painted in the standard white trim color, with all elements matching. This is OK if you’re going for a traditional look, but you really are missing out on an opportunity for a dramatic statement by not going bold.
Darker, more pigmented colors are transforming homes with stunning appearances standing out from a sea of beige. The color for 2020 is dark or navy blue. The traditional red front door is now being replaced by statement doors whose sole purpose is to define an entryway with class and style.
Even black doors are trending, along with designs that feature glass and iron elements. Looking ahead through the end of 2020, Dutch-style doors are getting popular. Don’t forget about your entryway decor, through personalized doormats, house numbers and door knockers.
Higher Front Doors
These give the illusion of a higher ceiling, and the promise of a grand entrance. By keeping your front door sizes small, you’re limiting what you can do with the illusion. Nowhere else can you make quite a statement like the entry door. Make it big and make it grand.
Wider Doors
If you’re going to go higher, you may as well go wider. Double doors, or perhaps an extra wide door with sidelight, add depth and dimension to your home. If you choose wide doors for your interiors, you have the advantage not only of opening up the space, but it’s also easier to transfer pieces of furniture between rooms.
Pivot Doors
If you really want to make a statement, incorporate a pivot door into your home. These types of doors rotate on a pivot box instead of on traditional side hinges, great for large panels and popular for their wide, generous openings. Pivot doors go best in modern homes, as they are the pinnacle of contemporary architecture.
Pastels for Coastal Homes
While dark colors are dominating standard suburban homes, pastels remain a favorite for coastal homes. Robin’s egg blue looks stunning when paired with white PVC trim in exterior applications, for example.
