UPHOLSTERED DOORS









LES PORTES CAPITONNEES
In a lot of old movies you see the man of the house or the "boss"- yes, always a man...-retire to his office and close tall upholstered doors behind him. So many intrigues, secret phone calls and discussions away from indiscreet ears take place inside. 
Upholstered doors are perfect for privacy but they are also very beautiful! I must have doors like that in my next place. Maybe the armored front door of my next Paris apartment? We'll see, if and when I have one with such a possibility...
modern


classic
stunningly exotic
That just floors me! Zebra! I love this. You might have guessed...

repurposed
What a spectacular mood these old leather covered door give to the space! Recycled doors with amazing patina and height make a room. Oh, and more zebra...




au revoir.

  2. I'm loving this look! Those doors that Darryl Carter used for his headboard in the last picture is amazing. Actually my husband loves it to and we've been toying with that idea for our headboard when we renovate our master suite. Love this post!

    my friends think I was building a padded cell. Only Kidding. I did something like that for Burt Reynolds offices. The doors were all old and I had a man come and formica them in hunter green with brass door plates. It worked.

  10. Yep, it's the old movies. I walk alone Burt Lancaster. Can't miss the door http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=er0PgqKMt6Q While watching this movie, never finished watching it, I started dreaming of upholstering doors. Sorry, love old movies simply for the design and good dialog. PS I am also an upholsterer. Nearly 30 years in furniture.

    Acoustic doors are an excellent investment for anyone seeking improved sound control. I’m impressed with how well they minimize noise transfer while still offering stylish finishes. These doors are ideal for offices, studios, and homes needing quiet, productive environments without major renovation work.
