Doors
The door to a house or an apartment becomes the symbol of hospitality, especially when guests come over. It’s also one of the first elements that people come into contact with when visiting a house, which makes doors design an important part of any architectural project. Likewise, interior doors can connect or divide areas, but they always complement the design of the living spaces. Here you can discover sources of inspiration for doors design. These images show different types of doors created by architects and interior designers for various houses and apartments from all over the world.
