Your Doors: Make a Grand Entrance
Add Style to Entries and Exits with Customized Creations or a Wild Coat of Paint
Whether coming from outside in or entering the bathroom from the hallway, doors are continuously utilized throughout the home. Their function is fairly self-explanatory: they muffle noise, provide privacy and even protect us from the outdoor elements. However, with a little extra thought, they can also add a hint of unexpected style through a paint job, custom detailing or even an entirely unique door in itself. So, if you’re looking to punch up the décor of your home, consider exchanging your everyday door for something outside of the norm. If you’re feeling a little unsure about the proposition, the following photos might change your mind.
For a truly stunning entrance that will captivate your guests, choose a customized pivot front door. Enhance the impact by choosing a finish that complements your home’s interior, and paint the frame a bold, eye-catching color.
Don’t feel like a room’s paint job needs to stop at the doorframe. By extending the stripes across the door in this bathroom, the space will feel like a little cabana escape.
Craving some door drama? This front door contains backlight honey onyx tiles in a steel frame, setting it permanently aglow.
Get a hint of vintage appeal in your home with a decorative glass panel door. Add words like “laundry” or “office” for a fun detail.
Mix the rustic with the relevant by using barn doors in your home. You can either have one custom made with a specific wood species of your choice, or go hunting through flea markets or salvage yards for a door you can refurbish at little cost.
For an edgy, contemporary entrance, go with a steel door accompanied by an unparalleled doorknob. This door definitely sets the tone for the rest of the home.
For an easy, inexpensive update, consider adding wallpaper to your doors. You can either use one wallpaper design for the entire door, or mix and match in a patchwork quilt pattern like this designer.
Sometimes all you need for a door is a statement-making color. This cerulean blue is like a breath of fresh, energetic air against the orange hues of this home’s exterior.
Choose a door with a custom design to give it a dash of personality that your neighbors will surely envy.
Scour salvage yards and flea markets for discarded antique doors. Scoop them up and refurbish them for an eclectic look all your own. If you find several that match, use them for both interior doors and cabinetry.
Bid adieu to traditional hinges and instead put your door on a track. Install a metal wall and choose a door in a bold color for a contemporary spin.
Bring a playful element to your door by coating it with chalkboard paint. Use it write reminders or grocery lists, or even your children’s’ random acts of imagination.
Turn your door from everyday to a work of art with a hand-painted design. This designer used a gloss white to paint an incredible design over a base coat of coral.
Add a nautical flair to your interiors with a look straight from a submarine. This door gives a hallway of books a very Jacques Cousteau feel.
For a truly unexpected twist of events, take a stunning door from interior to exterior and use it as a gate latch. I have a haunting feeling that I’ll step through this door and end up in Narnia.
