Homeowners are turning to innovative materials, vibrant colour choices and advanced smart technology to create stylish and functional entrances.
This article will explore the latest new front door trends for 2025 and offer inspiration for creating a modern first impression.
Bold Statement Colours
As the first impression of one’s home, the front door is an excellent way for customers to showcase their personality and enhance their home’s kerb appeal.
Bold colours are becoming a popular way to do this as we move into 2025, with customers choosing bold and vibrant colours, from energetic hues like sunshine yellow, alert orange, hot pink and lime green to deep tones like plum purple, sapphire blue and burgundy red. Some customers prefer a neutral frame alongside bold and vibrant colours for balance.
Wellness Through Illumination
Elevating the amount of natural light entering interior space has become a significant focal point for wellness in design. As a result, many are opting for glazed front doors or sidelight frames to allow natural sunlight to flood their entryway.
Many customers with a narrow hallway choose to complement their front door’s interior hardware with reflective wall accessories like a mirror or metallic wall art to allow light to bounce and create a brighter, more spacious hallway.
Glass Preferences
In 2025, homeowners are embracing diverse glass styles to suit their architectural aesthetics. Modern manufacturing provides various options, including frosted, etched and tinted glass, allowing customers to customise their front door as they seek individual style.
Textured glass is particularly on-trend, for it adds character without compromising light. Whether customers decide on a subtle, sophisticated glass or an artistic flair, glass front doors can effortlessly elevate their home’s kerb appeal, bring a glowing ambience to their entryway and subtly showcase individuality.
Thom, Marketing Strategist at Future Products, said, “The focus for 2025 is around integrating indoor and outdoor living, enhancing natural light, and expanding spaces in anticipation of summer through your glazing choices. Options like external aluminium doors, thanks to their expansive glass panels, can provide an excellent means to create a smooth transition to the outdoors. Customisable glass options can enhance privacy while still allowing ample light to flood your space.”
Your Door, Your Story
Personalisation is another trend set for 2025. Customisation goes beyond selecting colour palettes and hardware materials; it’s about integrating practical features that can help to enhance the home.
From installing smart security for peace of mind to soundproofing and insulating for a quieter and energy-efficient living environment, having the option to customise the new front door gives customers the flexibility to ensure their home is as functional as it is stylish.
Personal touches to installation can also allow customers to consider seamless indoor-outdoor connections and explore ways to brighten their entryway without compromising energy efficiency.
Oversized Entryways
Oversized statement doors are visually impactful, creating a sense of grandeur and sophistication. They are versatile in design, allowing customers to customise textures, finishes and hardware to suit their style. For instance, a pivot hinge allows the door to swing open on a central axis, creating a wide, uninterrupted opening, eliminating the need for traditional frames and blending indoor and outdoor luxury spaces.
They also have multiple functional advantages, such as easier access to moving furniture or accommodating large gatherings, making them a popular choice for modern estate homes. Many oversized doors are paired with energy-efficient materials and smart locking systems, ensuring style doesn’t compromise security or insulation.
Elevating Doors with Textured Finishes
Whether customers look for rustic charm or modern minimalism, a textured new front door offers depth and character to the entryway, creating a unique and inviting focal point for their home.
These tactile surfaces are not only stylish but also practical in hiding minor imperfections caused by weather, ensuring durability and easy maintenance. This growing trend offers a stand-out personality that blends effortlessly with contemporary and traditional architectural designs.
Shimmer and Shine with Accessories
Door accessories in 2025 are all about blending functionality with fashion. To ensure longevity, customers can opt for high-quality hardware that complements their door’s style.
Chris Thompson, Sales Director at Future Products, said, “Special RAL or finishes like matte, shiny, brass, and gold are highly sought after because they can enhance and diversify your entrance in a unique way, giving a property distinctive characteristics to help it stand out”.
Beyond handles and locks, customers also incorporate decorative elements like door knockers, house numbers and letterboxes to add personality and a touch of luxury to their entrance.
Smarter, Safer Doors
With the installation of smart locks, front door security can now be enhanced with fingerprint and other biometric recognition, PIN codes and Wi-Fi integration. Smart locks like Ultion Nuki Plus that require Wi-Fi revolutionise front door security as they do not need the inconvenience of a traditional physical key.
They allow you to easily access and lock your home through a Wi-Fi connection, even without the need to reach for the phone. This feature is particularly convenient at times when hands are full or when locating keys is a pain.
Installation is straightforward, and the enhanced security features, including protection against unauthorised access, make smart locks like Ultion Nuki Plus a compelling choice for modern homeowners seeking increased safety and convenience.
Sustainability in Style
With the growing awareness of climate change, more individuals prioritise eco-friendly materials and functionalities to reduce their carbon footprint. Modern innovations in design now integrate sustainability with aesthetics, offering solutions that don’t compromise style or performance.
For instance, solid core doors crafted from layers of hardwood and Coolskin PVC skins offer thermally efficient doors that can significantly cut energy consumption and reduce energy bills.
