Let’s reimagine the door. Which one, you ask? The one that boosts curb appeal instantly — how about reimagining wooden door designs for the main entrance of your home?

Is yours the traditional brown, black, or beige? Is it a single door? Could you experiment with a splash of colour? How about adding another to give the forlorn one some company?

And it is almost embarrassing how easy it is to infuse some flair into your space by experimenting with the wooden main door designs for home. We share our list of the top popular wooden main doors that keep the style in and boredom out. Check it out. 

Wooden Main Double Door Designs Indian Style

A classic wooden main double door design in Indian style will give many of us a feeling of home. Traditionally, Indian main doors come in pairs, even in the most basic of houses. With more modern homes, it is easy to install a single wooden main door, depending on your preference.

The unparalleled simplicity of a flush door lends a modern charm to the entrance. These are usually made from a single slab of wood. They may be without the ornamentation of panels, louvres, or slits, but that doesn’t make them any less stylish.
