I love solid wood doors of all shapes and size. I especially love curved doors. However, I have a feeling that many of the houses in my price range when it comes time to buy my first place will not have solid wood doors. Or, perhaps maybe I will not like the doors and will want to change them somehow. Although I am usually hesitant about doing permanent treatments on things that cannot be replaced easily (doors, windows, built-ins, etc), I have some fun inspiration to share with all of you. Doors do not have to be something you open and close and think nothing more about – they can be the focal point in a room if they stand out, and boy do the following doors stand out!
Front doors are usually the easiest to change because they aren’t expected to be uniform with every door in the house, so people can really have fun changing them up.

Sometimes a white or stained door can break the feel of a room, so there is always the option to paint it the same color as the walls.
If you don’t have the money to replace your boring hollow run-of-the-mill doors, try attaching small strips of simple trim in a pattern like the photo above to add interest until you can afford the doors of your dreams.

Closet doors are fun to change because they only attach to one room and are easier to change later on. I think if anyone wants to spruce up a door but are afraid to attempt it on their regular doors, they should try it on a closet door or two to become more comfortable.
And if you’d like to completely start over and install a new door, look to these for some unique options.

What is your favorite boring door solution? Have you ever been creative with doors at your home?
I love our yellow front door! It was boring white when we bought the house. I’m not quite as bold with color on the inside :)
I think doors should never be ignored! Especially the front door. It makes such a difference if it is treated special! It really greets your guests when they arrive.
