Make the Ultimate Luxury Statement With Upholstered Door Panels
Dress your doors in soft upholstered layers to take every welcome to a whole new level
There’s something about soft furnishings and tactile finishes that conjures sumptuous visions of luxurious comfort and cosiness. Mounted on doors, upholstered panels can make for a plush, yet warm and welcoming entrance, taming the harshness of the surrounding hard surfaces and setting the tone for a relaxing, restful and indulgent sanctuary. From glamorous living room and closet entrances to cinema-inspired home theatre double doors and pastel nursery wardrobes, upholstered panels can be tailored in a range of materials, textures and finishes, each holding the ability to create a unique ambience and atmosphere. Seek inspiration from these homes and open your doors to the transformational power of upholstery.
Inspired by a similar design, this Mediterranean-themed home theatre boasts porthole-embedded double doors that feature a tufted diamond pattern. The softness of the doors lend well to the earthy, burnished look of the room.
