10 Magical Doorways to Inspire

Doors play such a powerful and important role in a home. They provide safety and a practical function, but they also represent so much more when it comes to the way you want people to feel when they first see your home, apartment or building. I have a soft spot for colorful doors, but my heart belongs to any entryway that feels like something magical is hiding just behind it. From antique herringbone doors to hot pink modern doors to doors with decorative painted and ironwork trim, these small design elements can sometimes have the biggest impact. So today I’m sharing 10 of the most magical doorways to inspire your home and, if you’re not in the mood for a redecorating or painting, hopefully these can inspire some metaphorical new doorways and paths in your day. xo, grace
