What Is a Craftsman-Style Door?

Craftsman-style home and door designs date back to 19th century England. Front entry doors of this style typically consist of wood materials and use rectangular windows and panels to establish depth. These designs are notorious for stylish glass inserts and dentil shelves seen during the Arts and Crafts movement.

As the name implies, Craftsman-style doors were famously hand-made by experienced woodworkers. These installations gained popularity throughout the 20th century to complement cottages, cabins and other small structures. Fast forward to today, and property owners consistently dress up residential spaces with Craftsman-style exterior doors.

What Is a Dentil Shelf?

Craftsman or "mission"-style doors commonly have a dentil shelf that sits along the exterior side of the door, just under the glass opening. Dentil shelves serve little functional purpose but mainly are used to add character and boost curb appeal as a unique accent. A homeowner might choose to hang a decorative piece from this molding to draw attention to glass patterns and surface details.
