Ready to replace your home’s doors, and want to be sure that you’re staying on trend?
We get it. In our Raleigh, NC door replacement showroom, we often talk to homeowners who want to keep up with current door trends.
That’s why, in this article, we’re sharing our top three predictions for the door trends that we think will be everywhere in 2023.
¾ Light Doors in Black or Wood Grain
Most of the front doors we’re ordering for our customers these days are ¾ Light doors. And most of those are being ordered in black or wood-grain finishes.
Gone seem to be the days of frequently flipping front doors to match the latest color trends. More and more homeowners are opting for a door that is the aesthetic equivalent of a Little Black Dress. Doors that are gorgeous on their own, but easy to accessorize.
The ¾ Light means that up to ¾ of the door is glass. This glazing (glass) option is functional for modern families. It allows light into the home while also allowing families to quickly spot Amazon packages left on the front porch. Of course, privacy glass options mean that families don’t have to worry about neighbors seeing into the home.
Meanwhile, the black or wood-grain finish serves as a neutral base. Neither will detract from or clash with holiday decor, planters, etc. Both also look phenomenal with black windows, which is another trend that is likely to continue well past 2023.
Keep in mind that a wood grain appearance is achievable on even a durable fiberglass door.
Multi-Panel Sliders
We won’t lie, we’re obsessed with multi-panel sliding doors that almost instantly create indoor-outdoor living space.
Andersen’s Big Doors line includes multi-glide and bi-fold outswing doors that are as visually stunning as they are functional.
For many homeowners, though, the price point of these impressive doors is over their budget.
When that’s the case, we love to recommend four-panel gliders as a less costly alternative that has tremendous design impact. These doors feature four panels which can be made to slide from one side or open from the middle, creating a sliding glass version of a French door.
Since the onset of Covid, more and more homeowners have been looking for ways to make their homes a true retreat. These patio door options offer an easy and functional way to create instant indoor-outdoor living space.
Smart Locks
Smart lock technology has made great strides in the past few years. We predict that this is a door trend that will soon be standard in most homes.
That’s because of the significant security benefits homeowners get at a relatively low cost. Smart locks cost not much more than their traditional keyed counterparts.
Most smart locks offer smartphone app integration, meaning that family members can easily check if a door is open, and lock or unlock it remotely if needed.
Our favorite Smart Locks incorporate biotechnology without sacrificing aesthetics.
We especially love that these locks allow homeowners to use a fingerprint to open their doors.
This feature is helpful if homeowners have family members who may lose a key. Or, perhaps there’s a family member who struggles to remember or to accurately key in a code.
For these families, fingerprint-based door locks are real game-changers.
