Doors open decor opportunities.
When it comes to renovating and/or newly designing a home, doors can truly open up delightful decor possibilities. When invited by Metrie, a new and fabulous sponsor of HomeJelly, to write up a feature on their posh portals, my first thought was, “You had me at ‘hello’.”
For years, I’ve been an admirer of all things doors – interior or exterior, old and new, and their absolute ability to command a room. I mean, come on! It’s the first thing we touch when entering a home, right?!?
With so many savvy designers AND DIYers taking on more sophisticated home projects, paint is no longer the only “easy” go-to when considering how to impact the design (or re-design) of a space. Yes! Doors can make all the difference! Installed as is or coordinated with beautiful moldings and trim, there are many opportunities to infuse your spaces with unexpected and exciting pops of color, architectural interest and a variety of patterns and materials.
Pop of Color
Want to dress your room to impress? Start with a colored door or two, like this pair called, (eh-hem) “Fashion Forward” by Metrie, that’ll show off your daring and elegant style.

Architectural Interest
It’s amazing what a door with beautiful molding can do to a space. Its specialness will likely inspire even the plainest room.

A Variety of Patterns and Materials
Consider installing doors with glass inserts (textured or smooth), beautiful wood grains, detailed moldings, etc. They’ll certainly offer a variety of patterns and materials that’ll pack a big design punch in your home. Note how the boldness of the black trim and crown molding, play so well with the white doors. These colors are then keenly echoed in the furnishing and stunning ceiling.
Yep. This is design rock ‘n roll, my friends!

Doors Elevate ‘n Update Even the Smallest Spaces
Doors can elevate and update any room. In essence, they, along with their hardware, architectural character, and finishings turn up the design volume for even the smallest spaces. Here’s a peek:
{Office}: Elevate your home office with stylish doors you can see through, like these chic Fashion Forward interior doors with clear glass. When we’re surrounded by rich design elements, we can be inspired, and our work can reflect how this makes us feel…rich!

{Walk-in Closet}: A fantastic and simple way to raise the bar of your walk-in closet is to work into the design or makeover its entryway with mindfully hung doors. Whether the inside is Carrie Bradshaw blinged-out, or temporarily plain Jane, you will be inspired every time you turn the knob.
