French Doors
Its one of the greatest ways to increase the overall look of any front entryway; installing French doors. An opulent addition to any home, double doorsor French style doors are the perfect addition to any home, regardless of its size, shape or style. Whether you own a huge mansion or a small bungalow, French doors can be installed in just about any existing door opening. French doors work excellent for keeping cool breezes flowing through the space as well.

Side Lights
You dont need French style doors to make your front entryway pop. Side lights can accentuate any door and make it look like a million buckswithout costing as much. For those of you that dont know what a side light is, its a fixed glass window that is on both sides of your door. Side lights can come in a wide variety of sizes, shapes and styles, so you can be sure that no matter what style of door you install in your front entryway, there is a side light thats going to look good on both sides of it. Side lights are easy to install and are a cost effective way to get the most out of your front entryway space. Youll not only increase curb appeal, but youll also increase the light in your entryway without spending a fortune on an electrician.
Low Paned Windows
One design feature that many expensive home entryways share in common with each other is a bank of low paned windows along the front porch. A tall window with a low pane allows people passing by the home to see the windows, without seeing into the home. This effect creates a look and feel that mimics the early antebellum homes of yesteryear. Be sure that you install window panes that are tempered glass. Without tempered glass, low paned windows can easily break when they are that close to the ground.
