The architecture or bones of the house are the most important elements when building or remodeling because they set the backdrop for any interior design you’re about to create and determine the style of your space. That’s why not only the walls and ceilings are so important but also the doors and windows.
Here are 3 ways you can use doors to create drama in your space.
- Make your door the focal point like the shower door pictured here. In this room the grid design of the door draws attention to itself along with the dark dramatic color, making it the star of the room.
Once you’ve selected your shower door, then you can repeat the color or pattern on the door to unify your space.
2. Introduce doors that are wider or taller than average to give a grander feel to your space. In this room the french doors appear to be taller by adding a transom above.
Recently completed an interior design project for a client where we specified 8 foot doors to create a majestic look walking in the front door and we are currently creating a fabulous new interior design project where every interior door will be at least 8 feet, completely transforming the space into a grandiose one of a kind home.
3. Use doors to divide space without visually closing off the rooms in an open floor plan. The french doors here create a wonderful view into the adjacent home office while providing an option to be closed when needed.
