Front doors with one or two sidelights and /or a transom will make the entry seems larger.
Adding a marquee with architecture details as decorative brackets, moldings, columns and trim over the front door will help keep the sun, rain or snow off visitors and off you while you reach for your keys.
I knew someone who built his front door years before he start building his own house, sure he knew what he was doing.
There are ways to update the front entrance without having to spend thousands to buy a larger more decorative door.
The front door could be the land mark for your entire house.
