Ideas wanted for modern front door

Hi, I'm currently doing up my unit, well trying to 🙄 & at the moment, I'm working on the lounge/living room. I've done a feature wall & few other bits & I'm wanting to do something different & creative with the front door, modern & minimalist style on a budget & was just wondering if anyone has any ideas or advice & tips please.

Thank, Dean.

Hi @Deano1

I suggest having a look at the Dulux Design Effect Paint. It comes with different finishes from gold to concrete and if done with a bit of artistry you can even have texture on it.

The second option is Superfresco Wallpaper, they come in different colours and textures. I suggest visiting your local store and having a look at what's available.

Depending on your budget, you can use designer panels in combination with LED light strips. It's even possible to use glow in the dark paint. It would give your visitors a nice surprise in the evening.

I suggest having a look at this discussion - Feature wall with timber panelling by @Monika1. It's a good example of changing the look and feel of your room by simply changing the colour and texture of your wall. In this instance it should work for your door as well.

Let me call on our experienced members @prettyliving, @lifestylebymari and @redbournreno for their recommendations.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Hi @Deano1,

Are you talking about the front of the door (exterior) or the back (interior) or both?

Can you please also post a photo of your unit (either the front or your living room or both) so members can see what you are working with and suggest something that best suits the style of your home?

We look forward to assisting further.

Thanks @EricL for appreciating my creativity.

Hello @Deano1 let me know if you have any questions in regards to the wall we have created.

Thank you.

My first thought of something different with a front door was maybe to make a design up out of any of these Hardwood mouldings and attach it to the door. (I went with hardwood as its an external door and even tho it will be painted I still prefer it over pine) Id sit and doodle different layouts and then figure out how to use the trim, wether diamonds, rectangles or squares.

Hope something comes to mind.
