The entrance to the house requires special attention when it comes to its design. The front door and the area around it are undoubtedly responsible for the first impression that guests and passers-by get of your house. On the one hand, they give a taste of what can be expected inside the house. On the other hand, the entrance reveals a lot about the homeowners, more specifically about their style and taste. That is why it is definitely worth writing another article on this topic. Today we want to take a different look and focus our attention on the modern entrance. What characterizes a modern entrance and how can you set the scene for the front door? What innovative extras complete the modern entrance area? Should you decorate the small space in front of the front door or leave it unadorned? You will find the answer to these and other similar questions below!
A modern entrance is clearly designed.
Modern entrance – what characterizes it?
Every house entrance is very individual. No two are alike, because there are small details that make the difference. A modern entrance is usually characterized by a simple design and has rather minimalist features. The front door, for example, has no decorative elements, it is stable and exudes security, even respect. Straight lines predominate in the entrance area, which reinforces the impression of a minimalist design. The colors are also strictly coordinated, there are no bright color accents. The dominant colors are white, gray and black, which can be combined well with different shades of wood. Natural materials are an absolute must in the modern entrance area. They complete the elegant, yet reduced look and ensure a good first impression. In short, a modern entrance is characterized by simplicity in design and at the same time demonstrates a contemporary style, paired with first-class elegance and sublime style.
A modern entrance must be stylish and expressive.
The modern front door is the eye-catcher in every house entrance area
A front door is not just a front door. It allows you to enter the house and therefore has to be inviting and secure. There is currently a huge range of beautifully designed doors available to buy, so it could be difficult to choose the right entrance door for your home. For this reason, we want to give all interested parties more information about the criteria to consider when buying.
A mix of different materials makes the front door look even more eye-catching.

– Typical materials for modern front doors
The most popular materials for front doors are undoubtedly plastic, wood and aluminum. There are models that also have glass side panels, which add a personal touch to the entrance design. In most cases, the materials mentioned above are skilfully mixed together, so that there are numerous design options. In addition to the glass inserts, we also mean special fittings that make the front door a real eye-catcher. All of this contributes to a first-class, individual design in the entrance area. When choosing the right front door, you must not only be impressed by the modern design, but also choose a safe, fireproof and burglar-proof door. We will also look at these aspects in more detail below.

– Front door with canopy – yes or no?
As we have highlighted above, modern front doors are often made from a mix of materials. This makes the design striking, but still stylish and improves the functionality of the door. This is also the effect of the combination of front door and canopy. A canopy is a first-class addition to the facade of the house. It protects homeowners and guests from sun, rain and snow and counteracts other weather phenomena. Usually the canopy is made of wood or transparent glass.
– Innovative extras for more security in the entrance area
The main function of every front door is to provide maximum security. The classic elements such as mailbox, doorbell and house number now not only have a modern, often minimalist design that fits in well with the house facade and the entire entrance. In addition, technical features are integrated, such as cameras and intercom systems, which contribute a lot to security. Thanks to modern video and intercom systems, homeowners can see visitors even before they get to the front door. There are even models with additional functions that enable the integration of smart home systems. The new technologies allow the smart home system to be controlled from a smartphone or other networked device. All of this gives you more flexibility and convenience in managing your home, even when you are far away from your own four walls!
