Are the doors of your home boring? Do you know that by giving them a hand of color you can change the image of your home? In addition to contributing a lot of personality to this if you bet, among others, for one of the four original ideas for paint the doors that today we share with you Decoora.
The doors of the homes were formerly all the same; wooden and varnished. These, however, do not have to fit into the idea of home that you have. Changing them is an option, but a cheaper one is to give them a coat of paint. The transformative power that a coat of paint can have in your home will surprise you!
Integrate them into the wall
Generate continuity in the walls of a room, painting the door the same color as the wall, can help to visually enlarge it. It is therefore a resource that is not only aesthetically beautiful, but also interesting. And original, very original.
We tend to confuse the original with the flashy and this idea does not always have to respond to that second adjective. However, how many have you been in that have the doors painted the same color as the wall? Possibly only in those where walls and doors are white.
Run away from white! Make this proposal original by betting on a solid color from floor to ceiling other than white. Greens and blues are a great alternative, but you could also bet on more discreet versions in neutral colors such as light gray or beige if the rooms are very small or do not have enough light.
Paint them only halfway
The second proposal is related to the first, but applies only to half walls. And by not half walls we don't mean you have to apply it exactly to the middle of the wall. In fact, it is usual to do up to a third of it.

As the photos illustrate, a solid color, other than white, to paint the underside of walls and doors. And white is reserved or, failing that, a very pale version of the color applied at the bottom for the top.
It is another way of generating that feeling of continuity that we were talking about before while keeping a large part of the walls in a light color. For what purpose? With the purpose of do not lose light if you do not have abundant natural light or the space is not well lit in general.
Highlight them with geometric motifs
Geometric motifs are today a whole trend to paint the walls of our homes. Why, then, not apply it to our doors? I encourage you to do it as the trends dictate, choosing geometric motifs that go beyond the door and take part of the wall, as in the images that I show you below:
The most popular geometric motifs currently to apply this idea on walls and doors are rectangles and circles and, of course, all the possible combinations between both figures. Also, this idea, as you can see in the image, is not at odds with the previous one.
It is not a discreet proposal Not at all! In fact, it is among the original ideas to paint the doors that I propose to you today, it is the most daring. If you really want to add personality to a certain space in your home, dare to do it this way!
This is not a resource that you can abuse. His visual power is such that you should limit yourself to using it on a single door home, the one that you think should have the greatest impact, either because of its position or the type of room it leads to.
Bet on contrasting edges
What if I told you that you can achieve tremendously striking doors by painting only their edge? It is a very little exploited idea and, as a consequence, very original. Keep the doors or paint them a neutral color and reserve the color for small details.
Allow yourself to be daring! They are only the edges and they will only be seen when the door is open, so dare to use colors that you like but that you would be nervous about using on other larger surfaces. Fluorine colors are some of the most popular to finish this idea.
Personally, I love the idea of keeping the doors in warm tones like wood and applying fluorine colors on the edges. It's an unexpected combination that combines the traditional with the modern and that can be very interesting in young and creative homes.
Do you like the original ideas to paint the doors of your home that we have proposed? Do they seem very daring? I think they are easily adaptable to most homes as long as a proper choice of colors is made. And it is that the style of each one of them will mark us or should mark the way forward.
