Top 5 Trending Door Styles for UK Homes in 2025
Looking to refresh your home’s entrance? In 2025, we’ve seen British homeowners embrace bold colours and sleek composite designs that balance style with performance. As we move into 2026, many of these looks are set to stay on trend — from modern anthracite greys to timeless deep blues. Here’s a look at the door styles that have defined homes this year, and the ones we expect to continue making an impression next year.
What is the best type of front door in the UK?
- Composite is considered the top type of front door in UK homes, as it looks just like wood but is much more energy efficient, and has lower maintenance requirements.
- UPVC is also popular, due to its lighter weight and cheaper price tag, while also being more thermally efficient and lower maintenance than wood.
How to pick the right front door for your home
- It’s all down to architecture, as well as the feel you want to create.
- Traditional styles suit traditional homes, and are a timeless choice we continue to see time and time again.
- Conversely, contemporary door designs are proving popular for modern style homes, stepping away from familiar panel designs whilst becoming recognisable in their own right.
What colour is best for my front door?
- Dark blue adds value and sophistication when used for traditional doors.
- Greys are a popular choice for contemporary designs, in particular anthracite grey.
- Use white or chartwell green for a calmer feel, while still conveying a degree of formality.
What to consider when choosing a new front door
As well as aesthetics, there’s functionality:
- Energy efficiency – This means keeping more heat inside and the cold out. Our composites and UPVCs are designed to be weather-resistant, and are multi-layered to reduce heat loss, both of which are important in the widely-varied British weather.
- High security – No door is truly worth its salt without top security features. Our composite and UPVC entrance doors make use of steel reinforced frames, and pre-fitted multi-point locking systems, to achieve this aim.
- Low maintenance – Easy-to-clean composites and UPVCs stay looking like new with minimum effort, and never need to be painted.
