ideas for plain standard interior doors

5 years ago

In my upstairs area currently being renovated I now have 3 doors in a wall that before had 2. They are less than 60cms apart. The left side door leads to a bedroom, the centre door is going to be an airing cupboard and on the right the door goes into a storage room. They are centred on a wall (5mtrs long) which will also have modern radiators either side of the outermost doors. I didn't design things this way, my builder did, though I did consent to having the rads there as there's no other wall for them. I either want to paint them the same as the wall to 'lose' them ( though they will probably have gloss white architraves) or make a feature out of them as this large room will be used by teenagers/guests and not much else. Its a room without a purpose as for years it's been used as a storage area. Should I go for novelty or boring white gloss like every other interior door in the house?

It's a bit difficult to say without having a visual of your project, but I'd say 'boring' white, like the rest of the doors. If you want to make a feature out of something, I'd choose walls. Something that's easily changed.

Seems a bit busy to me- consider painting the walls, architraves, doors and rads the same colour

Hello CG, you can buy some of these and try them on site. From the pictures you posted I get the feeling you have 2 colors with similar saturation both fighting for attention. It's a little too much. I would keep the green but go softer on the red (i.e rust). You can also let yourself be inspired by the grey/silver/bordeaux floral and stripe pillows to create a brand new color scheme using these colors instead. For example, a very soft gray on the walls, gray carpet, grey/bordeaux combo in the curtains and for the sofa accents, pillows similar to these 2. It's decision time. Go for what speaks to you, but do it with elegance :-)

The perfect, clean decor-ed, living room....! 1. REMOVE ALL CLUTTER Get rid of sheets on coffee table and sectional Move toys, play mats, Xmas stuff and other general rubbish out Remove curtain rod off window Vacuum and wipe walls 2. COLOURS If you like contemporary and rustic looks - stick to the greys,reds,creams and wooden looks Arrange cushions artistically and in a colour order Make sure there are two of evey cushion. Don't have one odd one out Is the door able to be painting the same as the walls? 3. LIGHTS Are you able to get a chandelier or a lot of LED down lights? Don't get a floor lamp! 4. TV SET Built in TV Set hides cords, switches....etc... Looks much neater and organised TV Set at the moment looks way to low 5. DECOR THE WALLS Add a bit of ompf into the room by simply purchasing some large wall mirrors/Canvas artworks. 6. KEEP CLEAN Dust regularly, wipe blinds, vacuum, spray, mop...! ENJOY.! :)

Have no idea why you are restricted to white doors but we live in a house where all the doors come off the hall and we put in doors with checked glass everywhere to get natural light into the hall and also break up the row of nothing but doors i have pale grey walls but I painted all those doors dark gray and hung very colorful art work down that hall it looks sort of like a gallery and not sterile at all. And yes the doors are on all the doorways including the bathroom you can see nothing through them.

I love the cabin in the woods, its a intimate setting where you are drawn to the outside whilst keeping snug indoors. The use of fabrics sets it apart from the usual cold designs of other modern rooms. The attention detail in the selection of furniture pieces keeps it modern yet functional.

Thank you for your suggestion, I think that's what my husband would want. He would prefer the conventional appearance of doors. I can't take a photo as the doors have not yet been installed. I'm wondering if self-adhesive stickers applied to gloss paint would be easy to remove if I needed to revert to plain if husband disapproved!
