Interior Doors

Consider allowing each occupant to select an appropriate door for his or her room in order to further make the room special and customized. Furthermore, these various choices in doors allow those individuals embarking on a renovation project that will restore an older home to its past glory. Instead of having interior doors custom made, these options are readily available on the wholesale market at your local home improvement warehouse or lumber supplier.

For children and sports fans, the newest line of interior doors has designs printed directly on the door itself. Gone are the days of taping, pinning, or stapling posters to boring doors in order to provide a bit of personalization and decoration. Instead, these doors apply images of popular cartoon characters and favorite sports figures directly on the finish of the door. The finish of the door is hearty and will prevent the image from tearing or ripping, so it is a great idea for those doors that quite literally take a beating. Some versions of these interior doors even have a one sided image, so you can install the decorative door in a room without disrupting the theme of your home’s hallways or other spaces.

Instead of painting your interior doors a special color and giving your doors a “did it yourself” appearance, choose pre-painted doors. The professional paint job will ensure the finish does not chip or show wear, unlike typical household paint that has been applied to a door. Furthermore, the professional paint finish can be easily washed, making clean up of small messes quite literally simply as wiping the door down. This washable feature makes these pre-painted interior doors a popular choice in homes with children.

Usually, the choices on the look of your interior doors are limited to a solid panel or a more traditional six-panel door. However, many door manufacturers are looking to older styles of doors and have launched vintage or antique lines of doors and moldings. For example, the craftsman look of a four-paneled door that was popular with most homes built during the 1920s and 1930s period can be instantly recreated without having to scrounge junk yards or spending outrageous amounts of money at antique or reclamation stores. Choose reproduction interior doors when looking to add a bit of unique style to your home or if embarking on a complete restoration process.

Interior doors are often overlooked in design plans, but can greatly influence the look and feel of your room. Whether you choose to install glass transoms over top your existing doors or choose a door with the image of your favorite sports superstar, having a bit of interest can transform your room. Other ways to transform boring interior doors on a more modest budget include unique paint finishes, decoupage, adding mirrors or picture frames, and even removing the door completely in favor of draperies or sliding screens.
