  • It is easy to upgrade the look by using an extra-wide door to add a touch of elegance.

As the name suggests, these front exterior modern double doors are designed with diagonal wooden panels to give them a unique look. Such doors stand out and give a sense of opulence to your home right from the entryway.

The vertical iron bars add to the uniqueness, especially because of the dark colour. The contrast between the light-coloured wood and darker fittings looks stylish and modern. 

2. Contemporary Style Double Door With Glass Details

If you want to step away from the traditional style of wooden double doors, why not add some shapes and glass panels? The combination of sharp edges and round shapes softens the look of this door and makes it look less imposing.

The glass panels on this double-door design offer a peep into your beautiful home. You can opt for frosted glass or one-way viewing glass for more privacy. The dark-coloured fittings and handles add to the aura of this door and give it more character. 

3. Frosted Glass Double Door for Privacy

The brass fittings on this modern double door design, with curved handles, look classic and lend opulence to the look of this door. One of the best ways to make an impression on your guests is to choose a front door that reflects your personality.

This double door has an attractive design. The handlebars have been placed horizontally instead of vertically to make it look unique without immediately grabbing attention.

It stands tall like a royal guard protecting your home from the outside world. Dark-coloured wood always exudes sophistication and quiet elegance. You don’t need to overdo the outdoor decorations.

Keep it minimal and stylish, just like the door. 

7.  Big Space, Smaller Door

If you have the luxury of a large doorway, you have two choices: use a large set of double doors for an imposing, royal look or use the extra space for statement decoration and add a set of slightly smaller double doors for a homely, inviting look.

The horizontal wooden panels give this modern double-door design a contemporary twist. Reflective glass adds a unique twist to the entire doorway and lets your guests peek in the mirror before they enter your home. It also has a playful character which reflects on the homeowners as well!

8. Vertical Glass Panel Mahogany Double Door

This entryway is the stuff of real estate dreams. Everything from the design of the double doors, the marble border around the door, the plants beside the front doors and the textured colour of the wall have all been intentionally placed there.

They all serve their purpose and come together to make this beautiful, classy home entrance. The Mahogany double doors have a vertical glass panel that can be covered with blinds or frosted glass. The handles go along with the glass panels to give it a more holistic look.

They separate the living room from the hallway, they keep the warmth (or cool air) in, and they don’t take up too much room. It is a clever design that fits seamlessly with the rest of the living room decor

11. Go Matte for Minimalist

For a stoic, minimalist and serious look, opt for matte-finish double doors. If you look closely, the fittings are matte finish too. These doors would be the perfect accompaniment to your study or home library.

The stark contrast of the white wall against these double doors also lends an air of opulence to this room. It rouses one’s curiosity too!

White double doors lend a sense of homeliness and warmth to your home. They also match the rest of the decor, especially cupboards and windowpanes.

    What is the Best Material for Double-Door Designs?

    Double doors come in various colours, shapes and materials. You can choose regular wooden doors or invest in Oakwood to add a beautiful fragrance to your home.

    Cedar and Mahogany are also good options for durability. If you’re looking for additional security, we recommend using iron doors.

    Is it Better to Use Double Doors Or a Single Door for My Apartment?

    Apartments usually have the disadvantage of limited space. We recommend speaking to one of our experts at Interior Company.

    The best way to decide is to measure the doorway space, see if any of it can be extended without harming the building’s original structure, and then choose between a larger-than-life single door or medium-sized double doors.
