Even in a very modern home, there is something comforting and beautiful about a well-designed natural wood front door. Rustic doors come in many different styles, from simple to ornate, but they all have that look of a solid, timeless and classic door that will withstand weather elements and still look beautiful.
To see the different types of rustic doors, it is a great idea to start online. Choose a top U.S.-based door manufacturer with more than one type of rustic style and design. Check if they are able to custom-make doors, as this can open up the possibility of starting with one of the designs offered and adding your own unique design elements.
The Classic Rustic Door Look
Think back to a medieval castle and you will have the basics of a true rustic style. This door may be traditional in shape and include either a single or double style. For an even more authentic look, consider an arched top or a round top door model; these are amazing on virtually any home.
While they do take a bit more planning for the installation, they are a timeless looking door. A rounded transom and sidelite combination allows light to come into the house, as well as a welcoming look to the door; amazing and very unique.
For a classic look, choose a wrought iron accent on the sidelite and transom, and a speakeasy grill with ornate clavos. A darker stain on a knotty alder wood for a true hand-shaped look is very eye catching on rustic doors.
The Castle Entrance
Since the family home is their castle, why not choose rustic doors in a style that reminds you of royalty and elegance? These doors, which may also be rounded for more of an Old World look, are an amazing double door option.
Turning the top half of each door into a window with traditional designs in wrought iron between the panes of glass adds a sophisticated look while still giving that solid feel.
To enhance the look of rustic doors, choose a medium distressed type of finish. Teak and knotty alder make perfect wood choices for these doors, and they can be stained to a light-to-dark stain color to match perfectly with the colors, design and style of your home.
