Interior designer Huong Vu shares her insights on how to achieve a striking curb appeal with a wooden double entrance door with a porch. “This modern farmhouse embraces classical design principles with symmetry in both architecture and landscaping,” she explains. The covered porch, in her view, is a key element in creating an inviting and well-balanced facade.
The example of a stained wood double entrance door flanked by white porch swings with gray cushions, in a white porch with a gray roof, is a perfect illustration of Vu’s design philosophy. The black and glass lantern light mounted in front of the door adds an intriguing contrast, enhancing the overall appeal.
Huong Vu also emphasizes the importance of the alignment of the column’s top with the header. “The alignment is essential for visual balance relative to the aspect ratio of the column’s width and height,” she suggests. This detail, though subtle, contributes to the overall symmetry and balance of the porch.
