At present, 65.1% of Americans are classified as homeowners. If you fall into this category or are about to close a sale on your first house, congratulations! There’s nothing like having your own little corner of the world to nest in and feel comfortable with.

However, in order to get into your cozy space and make it your own, you’re going to need to have the best doors to be your portals into your personal paradise. There are many options out there, but glass doors are one of the best.

Tasteful, classy, and aesthetically pleasing, all types of glass doors are gorgeous. Read on to learn the options available to you so that you can decide which is best for the space that you call home.

Types of Glass

Before deciding on what type of door is right for you, you’ll need to look into the kinds of glass that you can use to style it. Read on to learn about the glass types that commonly make up doors so that you can begin looking for a door based on the aesthetic you want for your home.

1. Clear Glass

The most basic type of glass out there that can be used to make up a door is clear glass. This is generally what you likely think of when you imagine a window or plane of glass. They’re ideal for people who love being able to look outdoors or into other rooms, and they make you feel as though you’re in open space and free of barriers.

If you want to put a fresh spin on your clear glass door, consider tinting it in a color that matches the rest of your home. Installing rose-pink glass will give your home a fresh, floral feel, while light spring yellow is sure to make you feel bright and energized.

2. Frosted Glass

If you’re someone who values your privacy deeply, then a frosted glass door might be right for you. Whether it’s a barrier to prevent the outside world from looking in or a privacy measure to stop your kids in the playroom from watching you gorge yourself on cookies in the TV room, a frosted glass door will keep you safe from the prying eyes of others.

While you can purchase a pre-frosted glass door, there are also DIY methods of glass frosting that make for fun home improvement projects. Believe it or not, there’s a special spray paint that will frost clear glass, which might be a cheaper option than buying a pre-frosted alternative!

3. Stained Glass

If you want to channel the beauty of the famous Notre Dame cathedral, you need to look no further than stained glass doors. These come in a wide variety of beautiful designs that you won’t want to miss. Whether you’re interested in an amalgamation of geometric colors or a floral pattern, there’s a stained-glass door styled perfectly for your home.

Door Styles

Once you’ve decided on the kind of glass you want to make up the door to your home, it’s time to look at the various styles of doors that you can have installed. Read on to learn more about the options you have to choose from.

4. Hinged Doors

Hinged doors are likely what you think of first when you consider the front door to your home or those that lead between different rooms of the house. They have a knob that you can turn and push open, swinging the door out to get into the next room.

You can get hinged doors made from glass. One popular way to incorporate glass into these types of doors is by adding a glass window to a wooden design. This gives you the best of both worlds: maximum privacy as well as streaming sunlight.

5. Bi-Fold Doors

Bi-fold doors, also known as accordion doors, are for longer spaces. They fold back in sections, commonly called panels. There can be many different panels that all fold onto one another, making it easy to open large, horizontal doorways into another room.

While bi-fold doors can be used around the house, they’re the ideal door to lead out onto a porch, deck, or patio. You can see the entirety of this outdoor space from within the room that leads out to them, which inspires you to head outside while reading, working, or socializing to catch some rays.

6. French Doors

A French door is one that has two sections, each made up of one door. These sections have hinges on opposite sides of the door frame so that there’s a wide doorway when they’re opened in the middle. These styles are sure to make you feel like a king or queen when you walk through their wide entryways.

French doors are ideal for movement between two large rooms within your home. They make spaces seem more open and expansive than they actually are so that your home feels larger. Pair this style with some stained glass and you’ll feel really classy.

7. Sliding Doors

Sliding doors are one of the most common doors to lead from the inside of a person’s home to a contained outdoor area such as a patio. They’re easy to operate and don’t require a doorknob. Not only that, but they’re light and easy to install in any house.

Accordion doors are by far the best option to lead from a house’s interior to a deck or patio. However, you only have a small doorframe leading to a porch or patio, you may want to choose frosted or clear sliding doors.

Beyond Types of Glass Doors

There are a lot of accessories that you’ll need to buy for your home, especially if it’s a new one. Still, there’s nothing so important as the doors that you’ll need to enter into your little corner of the world.
