Raised panel, flush, long panel, carriage-house, modern and full-view doors compared for look, fit and architecture.
Style is what you see from the street. Raised-panel doors are the classic look, with recessed or raised rectangles that suit traditional homes. Flush doors are flat and modern, often with narrow grooves. Long-panel doors show wide horizontal bands. Carriage-house doors borrow the look of swing-out doors, with vertical lines, overlays and decorative hardware. Full-view doors use aluminum frames and glass for a contemporary feel. Each style looks best with certain architecture.
A good choice starts with the house: brick ranches, craftsman bungalows, farmhouses, Tudors and modern infill each lean toward different designs. Color, windows and hardware change the feel too. In Nashville, we often see carriage-house styles on newer homes and raised-panel doors on classic brick. We bring photos and samples to the visit and discuss how a style will look with your siding, roof and trim.
