Exterior Dutch Doors

Open up your entryway with a Dutch door design. These half-door styles have seen increased popularity over the last few years due to their charming design, and corralling functionality. With a Dutch door for an entryway, homeowners are able to open the top half to allow sunshine and fresh air flow freely, without letting pets or young children out. To see a Simpson Dutch door in action, head to our recent project featuring design expert and Instagram influencer, Allison Aars.

Barn Doors

Another trend for entry doors is the use of barn doors for a modern meets farmhouse feel. The timeless look of a barn door helps to create a clean, simple, and modern aesthetic, while combining traditional design elements. Barn doors from Simpson can be used for both interior and exterior applications, and are able to be customized to individual style preferences. Available in nearly any wood species, Simpson also offers a “weathered” option that helps the door appear like it was taken off an old barn.

The Natural Look of Wood

While painting an entry door is a great way to add a pop of color, we’re seeing an increasing use of clear or light stains on different wood types. It’s a simple, contemporary design that highlights the natural beauty of the wood and is becoming an increasingly popular choice for entry doors. Choose the natural wood trend for your front door to bring timeless warmth, organic beauty, and unmatched character that instantly elevates curb appeal.
