The front door. It’s the first impression your home makes, the gateway to your haven, and a silent sentinel guarding your family. But more than its practical purpose, the right front door can elevate the entire curb appeal of your house, transforming it from ordinary to extraordinary. But with so many styles and materials, finding the perfect replacement door that seamlessly blends with your home’s exterior can feel daunting.
Fear not, fellow homeowners! Family Windows & Doors, your trusted partner in beautifying your home with ProVia doors, is here to guide you through the exciting journey of matching your house style with the ideal replacement door. We’ve even partnered with ProVia to offer a fantastic tool on their website that takes the guesswork out of the process. Go to provia.com, click on the “Doors” menu, and explore the “Door Style Visualizer.” This interactive tool lets you browse common house styles and see how different ProVia door designs complement each architectural aesthetic.
But before you dive into the visualizer, let’s take a guided tour through some of the most common exterior styles and the door types that bring out their best.
1. Classic Charm: Colonial & Victorian
These timeless styles are characterized by symmetry, intricate details, and a sense of grandeur. Imagine stately columns, elegant porches, and decorative trim. For these homes, opt for doors that echo their sophistication. ProVia’s Signature Fiberglass doors, with their rich wood grain textures and classic paneling, are a perfect match. Choose warm, inviting colors like mahogany or cherry to add a touch of elegance. Consider adding sidelights or transoms for additional light and visual interest.
2. Modern Masterpiece: Contemporary & Mid-Century Modern
Clean lines, minimalist design, and an emphasis on natural light define these sleek and stylish homes. Glass plays a starring role, so consider ProVia’s stunning Modern Entry Doors. These doors feature expansive glass panels, often framed in sleek aluminum or contemporary wood finishes. Opt for bold, statement colors like black or dark gray to add drama and sophistication. For a touch of warmth, incorporate frosted or textured glass to maintain privacy while letting in natural light.
3. Rustic Retreat: Craftsman & Bungalow
These homes exude a sense of warmth and coziness, with natural materials like wood and stone taking center stage. Craftsman-style doors by ProVia, with their handcrafted details and sturdy construction, are a perfect fit. Choose earthy tones like stained oak or rustic pine to blend seamlessly with the natural elements. Wrought iron hardware adds a touch of old-world charm. For bungalows, consider incorporating decorative glass inserts or stained-glass panels to add a pop of color and personality.
4. Coastal Cool: Beach House & Cottage
Imagine breezy porches, weathered wood siding, and a relaxed vibe. For these homes, doors that capture the carefree spirit of the coast are essential. ProVia’s Coastal Collection offers a range of options, from weathered wood-look fiberglass doors to vibrant, painted styles. Choose calming blues, greens, or whites to reflect the ocean breeze. Consider incorporating nautical-inspired hardware like rope handles or brass doorknobs. For a touch of whimsy, add a nautical-themed door knocker or decorative glass insert.
5. Bold & Beautiful: Mediterranean & Spanish
These homes are all about vibrant colors, intricate tile work, and a touch of drama. ProVia’s Decorative Glass Doors are the perfect match, offering a kaleidoscope of colors and patterns to complement your Mediterranean or Spanish-inspired facade. Choose rich, earthy tones like terracotta or olive green to create a warm and inviting entrance. For an extra touch of flair, incorporate wrought iron grilles or decorative glass panels featuring geometric patterns or floral motifs.
6. Farmhouse Flair
Farmhouse style has taken the home design world by storm, with its emphasis on rustic charm, practicality, and a touch of nostalgia. Imagine ship lap siding, exposed beams, and a welcoming front porch. For this style, ProVia’s Heritage Smooth Fiberglass doors are a fantastic choice. These doors feature simple, clean lines with a touch of texture, mimicking the look of classic barn doors. Choose earthy neutrals like barn red or weathered gray to blend seamlessly with the rustic aesthetic. Black hardware adds a touch of modern farmhouse chic. Consider incorporating decorative glass inserts with a grid pattern for a touch of country charm.

They also offer a variety of energy-efficient options to help keep your home cool in the summer and warm in the winter.
