The interior door occupies an important place in the interior of the room. It not only serves as a barrier to noise, delimits space and allows privacy, but is also a noticeable piece of decor.
Several reasons may motivate you to decorate an interior door:
- Firstly, despite the huge selection of ready-made (and very attractive) doors, it is sometimes very difficult to find suitable model. Sometimes all the doors seem the same - “I’ve already seen this one at the neighbors’, “and this one looks like the door to our office.” You don’t want to repeat yourself and buy something that is unoriginal and has become banal, because your interior is unique, so the door should match.
- Secondly, even an old door with scratches, peeling paint and irremovable stains is why you often don’t want to replace it! After all, any replacement of a door is also a replacement of the frame itself, which is associated with dust, plaster, sealing the resulting cracks, the need to change the wallpaper (at least around new door) - in general, with local and sometimes major repairs.
That is why sometimes it is much easier for the owner to update an already installed door “on the spot,” that is, without changing the entire frame, right here in the room. Of course, in some cases you will still have to remove the door from its hinges, but this is much easier and faster than undertaking a full-fledged repair. Whatever the reasons that prompted you to start decorating an interior door, we’ll say right away that often this requires practically nothing except materials left over from the previous renovation.
So, we offer you 14 ideas for decorating an interior door that you might want to bring to life when decorating your interior.
The first idea. We paint, we just paint
The easiest way to get your door in order without any frills or extra work. To do this, you will first need to remove the door from its hinges, then go over it with a spatula, removing old paint, level the surface with sandpaper, seal cracks and scratches with putty, remove grease stains, cover the glass with masking tape so as not to stain it, and you can pick up a roller or brush! It is better to choose acrylic paint - it dries faster, and paint the door in a horizontal position - this way the paint will not drip and will lie more evenly. However, if it is convenient for you to do all of the above on a vertically standing door, you don’t have to remove it from its hinges. Just remember to put something on the floor while painting so as not to stain the linoleum or laminate.
White, simply painted door. Renewing it or repainting it in a different color will not be difficult, although the moldings and carvings need special, careful handling during sanding and removing the old paint layer
Idea two. We paint in several colors
The option is more complicated, although it also involves coloring. In this case, we don’t just paint the door one color, but create a simple or complex one. geometric pattern from stripes, squares, diamonds and so on. The door must first be prepared, as in the first case - that is, cleaned of old paint and leveled the surface. However, in this case, we will need much more masking tape - it is with its help that you will delimit the zones between stripes or rectangles. Also, to avoid buying multiple cans of paint different color, can be purchased white paint(one liter per door is enough), as well as several dyes with which you can experiment with shades.
Gold and white, blue and soft pink, bright stripes on a neutral background, diamonds and winding lines - a variety of patterns and color combinations can appear on your door leaf
When choosing a geometric pattern, remember that a wide strip along the entire door leaf is more suitable for country style, but for classics it is better to choose other options, for example, top part paint the doors a lighter shade and separate the parts with a horizontal stripe
Idea three. Highlighting moldings
Also painting the door, which in general is not too different from the first option. However, in this case we will focus on the moldings, painting them in a contrasting color. White and black are a great but overused combination, so think about what colors will look best next to each other. Designers have long recognized white and green, blue and yellow, red and dark blue as excellent options. Such a door will look great both in a bohemian boudoir and in a strict classic living room.
A white door with highlighted black moldings is a true classic. By the way, if your door does not have such decorations, it is easy to make them yourself - special thin wooden strips are sold that are simply nailed onto the door leaf

Idea four. We paint according to the finished stencil
A very convenient and simple way to turn your door into a work of art, even if you do not have the talent of an artist. Ready-made stencils can be purchased in construction and specialized stores, or ordered on one of the websites, and the choice of designs and patterns is very large. Then we simply apply the stencil to the already prepared door and apply paint. Easy, fast and the result is very beautiful!
Applying a drawing using a ready-made stencil is as easy as shelling pears, and the choice will allow you to choose an original inscription, an exotic pattern, or an unusual picture
Such a deliberately simple design can be easily created without stencils. It was the uneven lines and simplicity that became its main highlight.
Idea five. Artistic painting
Unlike all the door decoration options already listed, this option is not for everyone. To create a real masterpiece on an ordinary door, you will need the talent of an artist and certain skills in working with brushes, since a roller is no longer enough. Imagine that your door is a clean white canvas, on which, thanks to your skill, it will appear beautiful landscape, a cheerful picture or an exquisite pattern. Fine hand painting always looks expensive and stylish, and you can achieve this effect by spending only on the purchase of paints.
Many European companies offer ready-made interior doors with artistic painting. They are, of course, not cheap, so you can try to create something similar with your own hands. Are you afraid that it won't work out? You can always just paint over a bad drawing!
Idea six. Children's creativity
Does your little one love to draw? Give him this opportunity - let him decorate the door to the children's room himself. Yes, such a naive, bright pattern would be out of place in a formal living room, but as a decoration for a child’s room - great option. Just make an agreement with young artist that the second half of the door is already your field for making your fantasies come true!
Usually children's paints are washed off very easily, so your novice artist will be able to paint the door again at least every day. But you will have to first prepare the canvas by putting the door in order
Idea seven. Unusual texture using paint
If you think that simply applying paint is boring, and you are afraid to take on hand painting, you can try to achieve an unusual texture, for example, the effect wooden surface or an antique door using a very simple devices. So, using a sponge you can get a mottled surface, steel wool can help you achieve the effect of an antique door, and a stiff brush can create an expressive surface on denim. Special ready-made paints are also sold that perfectly imitate jeans, wood, canvas, velvet or slate.
On such a door, painted to resemble a chalkboard, it is convenient to leave messages for household members
Idea eight. Photo wallpaper
If all the previous ideas concerned only working with paints and brushes, then this method is suitable for those who do not want to mess with paint. Photo wallpaper will instantly transform appearance your interior door, turning it into a striking design element. Of course, it is best to purchase photo wallpaper designed specifically for doors - in this case, your drawing will definitely look complete. Ready-made photo wallpapers usually have standard size 86x220 centimeters, therefore suitable only for standard doors, and without moldings and glass inserts. However, now many online stores offer custom-made photo wallpaper for doors, so you can choose the option that is ideal for your door, with any pattern. You can cut doors and regular wall murals to size, but in this case the design may look unfinished.
How do you like this unusual option - a door that has been turned into a telephone booth with the help of photo wallpaper?
Before sticking photo wallpaper, the door must be cleaned of stains, and the surface must be leveled, sanded and degreased with a solvent. You can use regular wallpaper glue, but PVA is much more reliable. The disadvantages of this option for decorating a door include the fact that a bright image will immediately catch your eye, so it can quickly get boring. In addition, photo wallpaper on the door will lose its original attractiveness due to frequent touches. However, no one will stop you from changing the photo wallpaper on your door to something more original in a couple of months.
Photo wallpapers with picturesque landscapes are especially popular
Photo wallpaper on the door will help, due to the increased panoramic perspective, to make small room visually more. And it’s very easy to stick them on; you don’t even need to remove the door from its hinges.
Idea nine. Regular wallpaper
Previously, this decorative option was particularly popular, but now many designers consider it bad manners. It doesn't bother me regular wallpaper, “migrated” to the door, remain popular way interior decoration. As an option, you can buy cork wallpaper and coat it with varnish on top for reliability. Their unusual texture will make the door more original.
Preparing the door is exactly the same as when using photo wallpaper. The main advantage is low cost, since you can use wallpaper left over from a previous renovation, and ease of decoration. The main disadvantage is rapid wear and tear - the wallpaper can peel off and tear at the joints.
Wallpaper glued not to the entire door, but to parts highlighted by moldings, looks more impressive 
A door covered with the same wallpaper as the walls will literally blend into the interior. The reverse side of the door, of course, is covered with other wallpaper so as not to stand out against the background of the wall of another room.
Idea tenth. Fabric instead of wallpaper
This option will look especially cute and homey. A door decorated with fabric looks original; the choice of fabrics today is surprisingly wide, but this method also has its drawbacks.
If you choose a single piece of fabric to decorate a door, you should take care of the original design
First, when choosing a fabric, you should make sure that the glue will not leave stains on it. Secondly, the edges of the fabric should be pre-treated, otherwise the protruding threads will not look very aesthetically pleasing. Thirdly, doors decorated with fabric will not suit every interior design style. Those who are fond of patchwork, that is, creating canvases from different pieces of fabric, can turn their door into a real applique of bright scraps. By the way, if there is space on the door for a glass insert, you can hang a small curtain here, securing it with fishing line and small nails.
A very cute door, decorated using patchwork technology. The trouble is that such bright patches have nothing to do with the classic interior style; this is an option, rather, for “rustic” and colorful country
Idea eleven. Posters, cards, paper
Option for creative people and great idea for a teenager's room. The door can be decorated with a poster and an image of your favorite artist or group, sheets from an old geographical atlas, or sheet music. Stick these paper sheets and posters are as easy as regular wallpaper.
An old geographical map would be appropriate even on the interior door of an ordinary living room, but it is better to “place” posters in a teenager’s room
Idea twelfth. All kinds of stickers
This simple and not too expensive way of decorating a door is becoming more and more popular today. Vinyl stickers can be purchased in online stores, the cost of a model the size of a standard door starts from 2.5 thousand rubles, they are very easy to glue, and will last longer than ordinary photo wallpapers.
Stickers with such funny and at the same time useful inscriptions will not only decorate the doors, but also cheer up the guests If you do not want to hide the entire door behind stickers, it is quite possible to purchase small images - a butterfly, bright flower and so on. They cost less, and will completely transform the appearance of the door. “Informative” stickers are also popular, for example, on the door of an office, bathroom or toilet, which will tell guests what is hidden behind this door.
The elegant lady on this sticker will immediately inform guests of the house that the bathroom is hidden behind this door
Often, stickers can look like ordinary photo wallpaper, and sometimes they can look like hand-painting on a white door or a child's drawing
Idea thirteen. Decoupage
The technology of meticulously cutting out the images you like from paper and then making appliqués from these pieces allows you to transform not only a box or photo album cover, but also an ordinary door. Everything a beginning master of the ancient art of decoupage will need: paper drawings, napkins with a pattern you like, postcards and the like - everything from which you can cut out a design, a brush, PVA glue, scissors, glitter, acrylic varnish, outline and acrylic paint.
In the decoupage process, you can literally use anything - from scraps of old newspapers to greeting cards
IN brief description the process looks like this: apply a layer of white acrylic paint to the surface of the door, wait until it dries, then another layer - and again wait until it dries completely. Then we apply a layer of paint of the selected shade, and then use PVA glue to attach the cut out paper drawings. At the same time, we try to glue the piece as smoothly as possible, without folds, and to expel all air bubbles. Using glitter and contour we can add dots, stripes and other small details. Then we cover the finished picture with a layer of varnish. That's all. The rest is your imagination and beautifully selected drawings.
The decoupage technique allows you to create amazingly beautiful paintings, and the varnish coating will extend the life of the decor
Idea fourteen. Mosaic
A door decorated with bright mosaics will be an excellent option for a bathroom; you can decorate a metal entrance door in this way. Moreover, it is not at all necessary to use pieces of ceramics for these purposes - in this case the door may turn out to be too heavy. Mosaics can be created from pieces of wood or veneer, or you can purchase a ready-made one made from glass.
In this case, a bright glass mosaic occupies most of the door, making it very unusual and cheerful.
The mosaic is attached with special glue (Moment or liquid nails are suitable) onto a prepared and cleaned surface. It is worth thinking through all the details of the pattern in advance by drawing a diagram of the arrangement of the pieces with a pencil. By the way, you can decorate not only the door itself, but also the frame with mosaics, highlighting the slopes using the selected pattern.
Creating a mosaic pattern is a huge scope for creativity. And if any part does fall, you can always attach it back
An old door can become a real art object; all you need is a little imagination and effort. To get started, you can use one of the most simple ideas, and then, having gained a taste for it, try yourself in the art of decoupage or painting. In any case, your door will definitely be one of a kind!
