The Design Benefits of Craftsman Doors and Windows  Craftsman windows have heavy paneling and can be constructed singularly, or in groups or two or three. The borders of the windows are often painted in white, but you can also choose variations of beige, brown or a metallic shade to make the windows more noticeable. Since the paneling is so pronounced and the windows look as though they are protruding from the walls, you may not want to add any additional curtains or window decorations. This is ideal if you have a minimalist sense of style.  Craftsman doors are also easy to decorate because you can simply leave the door in its original wood hue or paint it in a bold color that will increase curb appeal. If you have a brick home that features red and brown hues, a cherry red door is a great way to make your home stand out, especially if you have gold accents on the exterior of your home like a mailbox or door knocker. If your home features shades of blue, beige or gray, a cobalt blue craftsman style door with silver paneling is a beautiful decorative choice. You can also decorate the entry of your home with tall pillars or vases that are filled with greenery to match the shape of the door. Hanging plants pair well with craftsman style doors as well, and you can also include a craftsman window next to the door to make the design of your home appear more uniform.
