The Front Door Eclectic Entry, Philadelphia

Intermediate. I've always loved this fabulous painted door - and it seems like a moderate way to commit to a pattern. Yes, it's paint, but it's also only a door - not too big or too permanent.

I can't ignore this great door when talking about damask design. Technically, it's not damask because it is not a fabric and the design itself is not raised. However, the pattern is inspired by damask fabric. Additionally, the raised panels of the door itself create a textured look that is in line with damask design. And there is no denying that this door makes a great dramatic statement!

This door gives guests an artful and vibrant first impression of the home within.

If you love the idea of a red door but want something even more original, consider adding pattern atop your red door. The designer of this door gave it satin coat of coral and then applied the design with gloss white.

Imagine showing up to a new friend’s house for the first time and knocking on a door like this … you’d know right away that this person is going to throw a great party! This is an easy and budget-friendly way to add something fun to your own home. A quick online search for stencils will yield endless results, and stencils make for a fun weekend project.

Play around and experiment with different looks. This pink-and-white hand-stenciled pattern is super bold, but it totally works with the muted gray exterior for this house. I love the statement the artist makes here. Can you imagine how different it'd be if the door were just a simple black or brown? Next: Browse entry doors More: What Does Your Front Door Say?

Turn your door from everyday to a work of art with a hand-painted design. This designer used a gloss white to paint an incredible design over a base coat of coral.

Paneling clearly clearly didn't provide enough pizzazz for designer Allison Cosmos. The door was painted with a coral coat of paint in a satin finish before the gloss white design was applied. You can achieve a similar look with any number of stencil designs. Check out Royal Design Studio and Cutting Edge Stencils.

Ok, so this was created with paint. But there is no reason you couldn't produce a similar effect with wallpaper. You'll just want to stick to an interior door.

Go for a graphic look. "This has been a very popular door," says Allison Cosmos of The Art & Design of Alison Cosmos. "The design was inspired by a damask pattern on a piece of fabric. I just simplified it so it had more of a graphic look. The white paint is gloss, and the coral color is semigloss. By ignoring the panels on the door it gives it a more modern look."

Not afraid to get creative on certain doors with a unique painting on them.
