So for East facing, you can use green or brown colors. If you plan on keeping the rest of your house colors as is, then I would change your door to a brown color. It will help give your house a "pop" of color, update it to modern, but also keep the charm of your green and creme color scheme. Here is an example of a brown modern door that would block out all light: [https://www.houzz.com/photos/ada-st-strathfield-contemporary-entry-sydney-phvw-vp~11156407[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/ada-st-strathfield-contemporary-entry-sydney-phvw-vp~11156407) This brown door would let SOME light in: [https://www.houzz.com/photos/the-allandale-by-crestview-doors-midcentury-exterior-austin-phvw-vp~33831[(https://www.houzz.com/photos/the-allandale-by-crestview-doors-midcentury-exterior-austin-phvw-vp~33831) I hope this helps!

What beautiful doors! I my own self always like for openings to look light, so I would paint it the lighter color.

People have storm doors because, they open doors and pull down the screen for air. A storm door has a security lock on it, for safety. Phantom screens are wrecked by children and pets go right through them and can escape your property and end lost or worse. I personally, would never ever be without storm doors on my house. I have very nice wood doors, and they are original to the house and still in excellent condition because they were protected with storm doors.

We realized today that we have one decorative window in our house. Should we try to match the effect in the door glass, or does it not matter? For reference this window is on the stair landing between the first and second floors. The stairs start just after the foyer near the front door. The closest thing I could find was the Vapor glass. https://www.zabitat.com/u/odl-perspectives-low-e-door-glass---textured-vapor---24-x-66-evolve-frame-kit-686le-vpr We could also try to match the diamond cluster pattern. https://www.zabitat.com/u/western-reflections-door-glass-beaufort-24-x-66-frame-kit-686bft Any suggestions on which direction to go? 1. Match texture; 2. Match pattern; 3. doesn't matter do a simple rainglass.
