I am torn…I love a glass front door…specifically these steel framed doors…they let in light and bring character into a space from the moment you walk in. I am torn though as to whether I would want a glass front door. Have been considering this lately. You lose privacy…gain light…is safety an issue?…or is style important too?
What do you think?
Happy Thursday!

I love them, but think it may be a bit like being a Hamster, to visible. I guess it really depends on how the door faces and what kind of foyer it leads into. I think for me, obscure transom windows for a front door.
They’re really beautiful. However, from a Feng Shui perspective, glass front doors arent very auspicious. Have a look at the link below for a more elaborate explanation. Good luck with the house and happy decorating! http://www.spaceclearing.com/blog/2008/02/20/front-door-feng-shui/
So beautiful! We actually just replaced our 1980s double doors with a new door. I so wanted to get the glass and steel! But my husband was concerned about privacy and safety. We ended up getting an extra-wide white oak door with horizontal planks, with a tall window. I really love all the light, but if a solicitor rings the doorbell, I have to hide! But my neighbor is going to get a steel door and hang a curtain rod on the inside for when she wants privacy.
I’m with you on the safety but they are stunning!

I love my glass front door! There is a small short foyer so the privacy is not an issue. It opens up what was a dark small space & really gives a wow welcome!
