Your front door is more than just an entrance—it’s a statement. And in 2026, that statement is becoming bolder, smarter, and more design-forward than ever.
Whether you're looking to enhance your curb appeal, improve your home’s energy efficiency, or simply refresh your exterior, updating your entry or French doors can make a big impact.
At Chaney Windows & Doors, we stay on top of the trends to help St. Louis homeowners choose timeless, functional, and future-forward exterior doors. Here’s what’s coming in 2026.
The era of plain white and builder-grade beige is fading. In 2026, exterior doors are becoming focal points, not just functional pieces.
These bold tones are being paired with matte black hardware or brushed brass for a clean, modern finish.
Whether it's a front door with side lights or a full-glass French door leading to your backyard, glass remains a top feature—but with more variation.
Homeowners want natural light without sacrificing efficiency or security, and modern glass options offer the best of both worlds.
Expect to see more homes embracing grand entryways with wider, taller, or double-door configurations.
Double entry doors also pair well with smart locks and multi-point locking systems, which are becoming standard in modern installations.
Missouri homeowners are more conscious than ever about energy savings—and 2026 door designs are meeting that need.
Both fiberglass and steel entry doors lead the charge in combining beauty and insulation, while French doors with modern vinyl or composite frames offer stylish energy performance for patio or deck access.
French doors are no longer just for traditional homes—they’re being reimagined for every style. In 2026, the trend is all about bringing the outdoors in.
French doors are increasingly used in both backyard walkouts and side yard transitions, connecting living spaces and enhancing natural light.
While not new, smart features are becoming standard in 2026. Look for entry doors with:
These upgrades add peace of mind while maintaining curb appeal—especially when paired with a stylish, streamlined door design.
We help homeowners across the St. Louis metro area find beautiful, functional exterior doors that match their home’s style, improve efficiency, and follow the latest design trends—without sacrificing performance.
