As with everything aesthetic, front door styles come in and out of fashion.

Some styles are classic, remaining stylish throughout the eras. These are often plain styles with simple design elements, resulting in a front door that is timeless and elegant. Both period properties and modern homes benefit from a classic front door style because they are so versatile.

Owners of period properties may prefer to have a front door based on the design elements of the era of their home. Georgian houses would be best suited by a front door that has a square, divided window, for example. Putting a modern front door design in a period property usually does not work – the two different design eras clash to create a disastrous effect.

Modern front door styles are best left to new-build houses. The door can either be matched to the style of the home or, if the style of the home is quite plain, more intricate styles of front door can be used to create a stylish focal point for the building. Some modern front doors date quite quickly, although nowadays it is usually due to the technology as opposed to the design. Already, PVC doors from the last decade are discolouring and appearing flimsy in comparison to their newer counterparts. For this reason, it is important to choose a front door wisely – not just the style, but the technology too. It is no good getting a door that is timeless in style if it is going to discolour or wear out within 5 years.
