17 Dutch Doors We’re Absolutely Loving

By Kaitlyn Yarborough
Houzz/Skyring Architects

You’ve heard that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Well, in that sense, doors are the windows to the soul of the home. (Yes, we know your home has actual windows too…just stick with us.) Your front door welcomes guests for the first time, gives personality at a glance from the street, and can be the ultimate conversation-starter if given the chance. Your mudroom door herds in a gaggle of children, wrangles in your beloved muddy pups, and is an epicenter of daily family life. So, when doors are woven so finely into our lives, why settle? Why not go with the ever-lovable, charm-pouring, personality-popping Dutch door? That’s what we said after falling head-over-heels in love with these Dutch doors. Bright pops of color, classic design, and a welcoming demeanor makes us want to saw all of our non-Dutch doors right in half (caution: not the best idea). From exterior to interior, these Dutch doors have captured our hearts and made it onto our to-do list.
