1. Safety: Doors should be designed to prioritize safety, i.e., they should be sturdy and strong enough to withstand external pressure, and have good quality locks to prevent trespassing.
2. Aesthetics: A well-designed door should complement the overall design of the house. The texture, colour, and shape should be in line with the architectural style of the building.
3. Functionality: The door should fulfill its primary function, i.e., allow ease of movement on the entry and exit path.
4. Energy Efficiency: Incorporating energy efficiency features into the door's design can help reduce cost and maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
5. Accessibility: Doors should be accessible to people of all abilities. Build wide enough to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility devices, and ensure the doorknob or handle is reachable for everyone.
6. Sound Insulation: A good door design can help reduce sounds from outside, especially if they are installed in places such as bedrooms or study rooms.
7. Durability: Doors made of durable materials can withstand harsh weather elements (rain, wind, and sun) and also offer a long-lasting solution.
