When you upgrade your front door, you’ll also need to consider if you want to change out of your sidelights and transoms.
Sidelights are the slim windows on either side of a front door. A transom is the small window above it.
Many homeowners feel that their sidelights and transoms are dated and stale. They wonder “Are there any sidelight and transom trends that can increase my home’s curb appeal?”
In this post, we’re sharing the top three sidelight and transom upgrades. These changes will complement your front door and make your home look amazing.
Ditch the Grilles
Here in Wake County, many homes built in the 1980s and 1990s featured 6-over-6 grille patterns in double-hung windows.
To complement this, sidelights on the homes built in this era also commonly featured grilles.
Of course, sidelights could feature other grille patterns as well.
Now, however, many homeowners are choosing to ditch the grilles, for a decidedly modern look.
When it comes time to update your sidelights, consider if going sans grilles could be just the change you need. It’s a small difference with a big impact.
Embrace Asymmetry
Another option would be to reconfigure your door so that you have a sidelight only on one side. Executed with the right materials, this unexpected look can especially complement the contemporary architectural style.
Go For An Arched Transom
Finally, when it comes to your transom, you may want to consider an arched or half-circle window. This small change can add loads of visual interest to your front door.
